Hey guys, does this mean we can pay with visa in any countries without ANY visa charge?

I've googled about it and seems like there are articles mentioning Thailand atms will charge a fee of THB220.

How about paying with visa(trust card) in malls or any shops that allows visa? any additional charges?

No leh, usally 1000.
Why would you specifically need 500 though?

Provided someone sells NT to them, else mostly is in 1000s. It's about $50 only and very commonly accepted in Taiwan.

So far I nv kanna cards being rejected for tax refund... Most of the time either claim tax refund in cash at store or at airport...

The thing I like about Taiwan tax refund is they don't ask to see the products u purchased... Very lucky for me maybe...
