      <\/li>
    • The UK does not recognise Taiwan as a state and has no diplomatic relations with Taiwan, so limited consular services are available to British nationals. See - <\/strong>Consular assistance<\/strong><\/a>.
      
      <\/strong><\/li>
    • There is a low threat from terrorism. See <\/strong>Terrorism<\/strong><\/a>.
      
      <\/strong><\/li>
    • Around 38,000 British nationals visit Taiwan every year. Most visits are trouble-free. See <\/strong>Consular assistance statistics<\/strong><\/a>. Nevertheless, you should maintain the same level of vigilance as you would at home, and take sensible precautions.
      
      <\/strong><\/li>
    • Crime levels are low, but small-scale petty crime does exist. You should maintain at least the same level of vigilance as you would at home, and take sensible precautions.
