Duty free @ Swampy

[OptimisticAndy]

Is it open right now for arrivals?

[dwagner]

No - when you arrived, you are directed to the line of seats - where they check your temperature, COE paperwork, etc. Once that is completed you go directly to a ASQ mini van. I wanted a SIM card - no go.

 

I came in through Taipei and did my Duty Free stop there - escorted by an EVA Air person - who was nice and did not have an issue with my purchases.

 

Sitting in ASQ now - only to find out that when I get home to my tiny Jungle village that I have to do another 14 days at my house per the village head man.

Can you get someone at your ASQ hotel to get you a sim card?

Most asq offer you 7/11 through the app. So if you can buy the simcard through the app I guess it's OK. Don't you have an old one and just to fill uo

Duty free on "arrival"? ... is probably not duty free...

I wouldn’t worry about that. You don’t need to tell him you’ve just returned. 

 

If he finds out and gets involved just show him the ASQ release letter (which you will receive when you leave ASQ) - it highlights that you have done 14 days quarantine. Tell him that means you don’t need to quarantine again.

Exactly this.... Buy Duty Free at your departure Airport - nothing is open and there is no opportunity to buy ‘anything’ on arrival (not even to get cash - from what I saw).

You can get the ASQ staff to get a SIM card for you from 7-11.

 

You can register it online. 

 

 

Alternatively, have a friend get you a SIM card, get it registered etc and drop it off at your ASQ.

My plan for quarantine involves buying and box of wine pre departure, removing the bag from the box and adding it to my checked baggage. Just an idea.
