Emergency (SOS)
Using 110, 119, 165 and 1990
Call 110 for crime or accidents, 119 for ambulance or fire, and 165 for fraud advice.
Travel question: Using 110, 119, 165 and 1990
1990 is a life-advice hotline, not an emergency dispatch number. Chinese, English and Japanese operate 24/7; Vietnamese, Indonesian, Thai and Cambodian operate weekdays 9:00–17:00.
Why is this rule in place?
This reaches the right service quickly.
What should travelers do?
Save your accommodation address in Chinese, insurer and national representative offline. From outside Taiwan, call +886-800-001990 for the 1990 service.
