Is Muse available in Taiwan?
No. As of November 13, 2026, Muse is available in exactly five countries. It launched in the US on September 8, 2026, reached Canada on September 18, Japan on October 23, Singapore on October 28, and Mexico on November 5, 2026, its fifth market and its first in Latin America. Taiwan is not on that list, and Meta has announced no Taiwan launch date.
The availability trackers group Taiwan with the rest of unlaunched Asia. One tracker checked on October 31, 2026, lists Malaysia, Hong Kong, and Taiwan together as no launch announced, noting that in Asia Pacific only Japan and Singapore have one. Meta itself publishes no country list and no expansion timeline. Its Help Center describes Muse subscriptions as in limited testing and not available in all locations yet, and it requires users to be located in a country where Muse operates.
Taiwan has received no official statement of its own: no reply from a Meta account, no mention in a newsroom post, no local announcement. What Taiwan has instead is documentation of a different kind: detailed, illustrated, Traditional Chinese tutorials showing exactly how Taiwanese users have registered anyway, and exactly where the process breaks. Those tutorials are the most specific evidence in this wave, and this guide describes them accurately, with their warnings attached.
The Taiwan tutorial wave: VPN registration, as reported
A Taiwan tech site published the most cited workaround guide in this wave: how to register for and use Meta Muse even in Taiwan or countries where it has not launched yet, with a VPN required for registration. The guide opens with the honest position: Muse is still only available in a small number of countries, and cannot be used in Taiwan. It then teaches the method its author used, and it carries a warning at the top: the method may stop working at any time.
The reported method has three parts. First, connect a VPN to a US server. The author used NordVPN and wrote that the Canada option was untested, so only the US path is documented. Second, open muse.ai/join in a browser's incognito mode and sign up with an email address. The author recommended Gmail, and used a backup Gmail address that had never been used to sign up for a Facebook or Instagram account. Third, complete the registration process, including age verification. If the page still shows as not available, the guide says there is a high chance the VPN cannot successfully bypass the regional restriction, which is itself an admission that the method is unreliable.
The guide's most specific claim is about age verification, covered in detail below: the author entered a Taiwanese credit card and reported that it worked. The guide also provides an invite code and notes that entering it within 48 hours gives both sides 1 billion Muse tokens, up to 30 people, a cap figure this guide does not state as fact, because Meta publishes no cap figure and sources disagree. The guide closes with the same warning it opened with: as of the time of writing, the VPN method still works, and the author is not sure when it will be blocked.
Describe this guide accurately and the picture is clear. It is a workaround, documented by one author, for one moment in time, with an explicit warning that it may stop working. This guide does not recommend the method, does not promise it works, and does not reproduce it as instructions. It describes it so that a Taiwanese reader who finds it understands what it is: unofficial, unendorsed, tested once by its author, and fragile.
The no VPN method, and why it is riskier
The same site published a follow up guide for readers who do not have a VPN: how to register for Meta Muse early without a VPN. The method uses a free virtual cloud browser provided by Lexmount, reached through the Moli project on GitHub. Moli is described as a free and open source browser developed in the Rust language, designed for AI agents and web automation. The idea is to run the registration inside a browser that is not on your own computer, in a location where Muse is available.
The guide is unusually honest about the risk, and the honesty is the most important part. During registration, age verification requires entering credit card information. Because the browser is a cloud browser, not your own computer, the guide says there is somewhat of a risk, and that the reader must decide for themselves. It concludes that the safest method is still a paid VPN. That is the guide's own ranking: the no VPN method works, in the author's experience, and it is riskier than the VPN method, because it asks you to type card details into a browser running on someone else's infrastructure.
This guide agrees with the author's caution and goes one step further: entering payment card details into a cloud browser you do not control is a risk that has nothing to do with Muse and everything to do with basic payment safety. The age verification step exists in every signup path, and every path that asks for a card deserves the same scrutiny. If a method requires your card in an environment you cannot inspect, that alone is a reason to wait for the official launch.
Age verification with a Taiwanese card
Age verification is the step where the Taiwan tutorials are most specific, and most useful. Muse is for adults 18 and over, and signup requires proving it. The VPN tutorial describes three verification ways and recommends the first: verification by credit card. The author wrote that the Instagram and Facebook account options were untried, and that they had heard those options may fail. For the card option, the author wrote plainly: fill in the credit card details, and using a Taiwanese one is no problem, tested successfully.
That is one author's test, on one card, at one moment. It is not a guarantee, and it is not Meta's documentation. Meta has not published a full list of accepted verification methods, and walkthroughs from other countries describe the same step differently: some reviewers saw prompts to confirm age with a credit card or a linked Instagram or Facebook account, and the exact options appear to vary. Treat the Taiwanese card report as what it is: a single successful test, reported honestly, with no promise it works for every card or every account.
One detail worth knowing: the App Store listing for Muse from Meta carries a 17+ content rating, while Meta's account rule is 18 and over. The two numbers measure different things, the store rating and the product's age rule, and the rule that gates your account is 18. If you are under 18, no method in this guide or in the tutorials applies to you, and the honest answer is to wait until you are old enough for the product itself.
Traditional Chinese and the language question
Taiwan's tutorials are written in Traditional Chinese, and that is itself a signal about the audience: Taiwanese users are searching for, reading, and sharing Muse guidance in Traditional Chinese, not Simplified Chinese and not English. The demand is local, specific, and active. What Meta has actually said about language support for Muse is much thinner. No announcement names Traditional Chinese support, no help page lists supported languages for the agent, and no Taiwan launch exists to test against.
What is known is that Muse is not English only. The Mexico launch on November 5, 2026, was a Spanish language launch, the first in Latin America. Japan's launch was announced through Meta's Japanese newsroom. Meta localizes each market as it opens it. Whether a Taiwan launch would include Traditional Chinese, or start in English, is unconfirmed, and Meta has given no signal either way.
The honest position is that language is not the blocker for Taiwan. The blocker is availability itself. The Traditional Chinese tutorial wave proves Taiwanese users will adopt Muse fast when it arrives, in whatever language it ships. Until Meta opens Taiwan, any claim about Traditional Chinese support in Muse is speculation, and this guide will not present speculation as fact.
Can a VPN get you Muse in Taiwan?
The Taiwan tutorials answer this question with a qualified yes, and this guide answers it with the qualification attached. The VPN tutorial's author got through signup with a US VPN, a backup Gmail, and a Taiwanese credit card, and reported that registration requires the VPN only at signup: once registered, the VPN can be turned off and the product can still be used normally. That is the author's report, and it is the most detailed success report in this wave.
Against that report, set three cautions. First, the author's own warning: the method may stop working at any time, and the author is not sure when it will be blocked. Second, the account level check: a VPN changes the IP address a site sees, and it does not change the country attached to your Meta account, your App Store region, or your payment card, so a VPN often gets people to the sign in screen and stops there. Third, Meta's own warning: replying to a user in Malaysia on Threads, Meta's official @meta.ai account wrote that you might get past the signup with a US VPN, but you would be bypassing the geo restriction, risking your account.
Treat account trouble as a caution, not a verified certainty. Meta has said bypassing the restriction risks your account, and it has not published a list of accounts it has acted against. What is certain is narrower: no method is promised to work, the tutorial authors themselves warn their methods may be blocked at any time, and the account at risk is the same Meta account that holds your Facebook and Instagram. For Taiwan, the evidence cuts both ways: one documented success, and an official warning that the success is borrowed time.
The privacy setting to turn off first
When you do get into Muse, do this before anything else. Open the Muse app, go to Settings, then Data controls, and turn off the Help improve our AI models setting. That switch controls whether Meta may use your chats to train future models. Turning it off keeps your conversations out of training data, and it is the single most important privacy step for any new Muse user, in Taiwan or anywhere else.
The setting matters more for Muse than for a chatbot, because Muse sees more of your life. Connect Gmail and it reads your email. Connect a calendar and it knows your schedule. Connect shopping and it knows what you buy. For Taiwanese users who register with a backup email to keep Muse separate from their social accounts, the setting is a second layer of separation: a separate account, and training switched off. The data sharing switch takes seconds to switch off. Do it on day one, before your first real task, not after a month of chats.
One caution, stated plainly. If you reach Muse from Taiwan before it launches here, and Meta ever reviews your account and sees the mismatch between your location and your account, the account can get flagged or banned. That is a caution, not a verified fact about enforcement. Turning the data sharing setting off does not hide your location. It only keeps your chats out of training data.
What will Muse cost in Taiwan?
Meta has announced no Taiwan price for Muse, because Muse has not launched in Taiwan. The prices that exist are the US ones, reported consistently across launch coverage: Free at $0 with a weekly usage limit, Power at $20 a month, and Maximum at $100 a month. Paid plans buy usage capacity, not features, which means the free tier gets the same agent with a smaller weekly allowance.
The free tier's size comes from Mark Zuckerberg's launch statement, which put the free allowance at 100 million tokens a week. That figure is attributed to Zuckerberg, not to Meta's help pages, and Meta's help pages describe the free tier only as a weekly usage limit. Whether a Taiwan launch would price in New Taiwan dollars, and at what level, is unconfirmed. The only local pricing reported anywhere is India, where The Hindu reported Power at Rs 1,799 a month and Maximum at Rs 8,999 a month on November 9, 2026, and that report is unconfirmed by Meta. Taiwan has no equivalent report.
Do not pay anyone who offers to sell you Muse access for Taiwan. Meta's own account has described offers selling early access as not official Meta offers, and the Taiwan tutorials themselves are free. The real product, when it arrives, will be free to start, from Meta, through the App Store, Google Play, or muse.ai.
What to do today while you wait
First, leave your mark at the official door. Open muse.ai/join and sign in with your Meta account. You will see the not available message, and Meta says it will notify you when your country is supported. There is no official waitlist page beyond that message, and no public queue to join, so any page collecting your email for early Muse access is not Meta's. The message itself is the waitlist.
Second, join the Built with Muse waitlist for Taiwan. When Muse launches here, you will get a fresh invite code on launch day, exactly when you can use it. A code is not required to use Muse: muse.ai/join is an open entry point that needs no code, though it carries no token bonus. But a code redeemed within 48 hours of account creation gives both sides 1 billion Muse tokens, one code per account, and the code is case sensitive. Get a free muse referral code from the community pool now, and hold it ready, so launch day is a redemption, not a scramble.
Third, learn the product before it arrives, from sources that describe the real thing. Read what Muse is and how it works, check which countries have Muse today, read how Muse tokens work so the reward makes sense when you claim it, and see how the Japan launch in the region was put together. If you want the full picture for unlaunched countries, our guide to using Muse when it is not available in your country covers the same ground for every market still waiting.
Japan launched. Does that help Taiwan?
Japan is the launch Taiwanese readers ask about most, because it is close, it is the first market outside North America, and it opened on October 23, 2026, with a Japanese language announcement. The answer is the same as for Hong Kong and every other nearby market: no, it does not help directly. The Japan launch covers Japanese accounts, the App Store listing appears in the Japanese store, and the account check looks at the country attached to your Meta account, not your distance from Tokyo.
What Japan does show is the shape of an Asian launch done properly: a local language announcement, a local App Store listing, and a market specific rollout. Taiwan's turn, when it comes, would look similar: a Traditional Chinese announcement, a Taiwan App Store listing, and local connectors. None of those exist yet, and no source names Taiwan as next. The Japan launch is a preview of the format, not a back door into the product.
Until Meta names Taiwan, the status is what the tutorials themselves admit: not available, workaround methods that may stop working at any time, and no official word. The Traditional Chinese tutorial wave proves the demand is ready. What is missing is Meta's decision. This guide will be updated the day that decision lands.
