Will you in Taipei this week?
Will you be in Taipei this week?
Will you stay in Taipei this week?

Best Answer

The first sentence is incorrect (it doesn't have a verb), while either of the others could be depending on what you want to say.

Will you be in Taipei this week?

This sentence is the more neutral, only asking if they will be in Taipei at some point during the week, either for a long period of time or a short one. This will work for just about any situation.

Will you stay in Taipei this week?

The verb "stay" in this sentence implies being in Taipei for a longer time, the entire week. You can switch out the phrase "this week" for another specific time such as "tomorrow" or "Tuesday" to ask about those time frames instead. This is the more specific question, if you're wondering about long term plans.
