Taiwan visa processing time
iVisa
5 min read
Updated on Feb 15, 2024

A number of 23 nationalities have access to a Taiwan eVisa, which means that if you are a citizen who is eligible, you can obtain an eVisa using an entirely online process.

The process is straightforward, and it is entirely online. All you have to do is gather a few documents, fill out the application, and hit submit. Your eVisa will arrive via email in the timeframe you choose. As for that, iVisa reassures you that you get the document precisely when you want it.

Many people who are in need of a visa wonder how long it is going to take. It is a valid concern, especially when you are on a tight schedule. However, going to the Taiwanese Embassy to apply for a visa may not prove to be as efficient as the online services provided by iVisa. It can take weeks to obtain your visa, and that may sometimes interfere with your plans. But with iVisa, you have no cause for concern whatsoever.

Travelers of certain nationalities eligible for an eVisa must obtain an e-code from their host organizations in Taiwan prior to applying for an eVisa.
