====Singapore====
Taco Bell in [[Singapore]] existed for a number of years, mostly as combination stores with KFC such as the one that operated at the Funan Digital Life Mall, but in 2008, Taco Bell completely pulled out of Singapore.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.funan.com.sg|title=Funan DigitaLife Mall|publisher=Funan.com.sg|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090831052738/http://www.funan.com.sg/|archive-date=August 31, 2009|url-status=dead|access-date=February 9, 2010}}</ref>

====South Korea====
There are currently two locations in [[Seoul]], in the [[Itaewon]] and [[Hongdae area|Hongdae]] districts, which attract the most foreigners and college students. The two branches opened in the summer of 2010, Itaewon's branch coming first. A Taco Bell had long been a presence at the U.S. Army's [[Yongsan Garrison]], which is off-limits to non-military personnel, and for a time there was a tongue-in-cheek grassroots campaign by non-Korean, non-military foreigners in Seoul to get another Taco Bell location.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCTfttE0w_E|title=We Want Taco Bell- EV Boyz|date=July 29, 2009|publisher=YouTube|access-date=August 16, 2011|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131019035857/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCTfttE0w_E|archive-date=October 19, 2013}}</ref>
