Taiwan visa requirements
Whether you need a visa for Taiwan depends on your nationality and the purpose of your trip. iVisa can help you with three travel documents: the Taiwan Arrival Card (a digital immigration declaration required of all foreign visitors), the ROC (Taiwan) Travel Authorization Certificate for conditional visa-exempt travelers who hold a qualifying visa from another country, and the Taiwan eVisa for eligible nationals who are not covered by visa-free entry.
Start your application and iVisa will confirm exactly which Taiwan travel document you need based on your nationality and trip, then prepare, review, and file it for you.
General Taiwan visa requirements are:
Requirements verified against official government sources
- Valid passport (valid for at least six months from your date of arrival)
- Valid email address
- Travel details (your flight or ship number and arrival date)
- Accommodation information (hotel name and address or local contact)
- A copy of a qualifying visa or resident card (for the Travel Authorization Certificate)
- Proof of onward or return travel
Taiwan travel documents through iVisa
What each document covers, who it suits, and how it is issued.
Taiwan Arrival CardArrival card
All foreign travelers without a resident certificate must obtain a Taiwan Arrival Card (TWAC) before entering Taiwan for tourism, visiting family and friends, business, or short-term study. This digital declaration is a requirement for visa-exempt nationals and visitor visa holders alike to ensure faster immigration clearance upon arrival.
Apply now- Who it's for
- The Taiwan Arrival Card (TWAC) is mandatory for all foreign nationals entering the country, including those from visa-exempt countries and visitor visa holders. It has replaced the old paper arrival forms.
- What it is
- The Arrival Card is a digital immigration form, not a visa. It does not grant entry permission — you must still meet visa-exempt requirements or hold a valid visa to enter Taiwan.
- When to submit
- You must submit the online form in the 7 days before your arrival. Applying with iVisa ensures your details are reviewed and ready in the system before you land.
- Delivery format
- Once processed, you'll receive a confirmation email containing a QR code. It is recommended to keep a digital or printed copy to show airline staff or immigration if requested.

Apply now- Who it's for
- The TAC targets nationals of India, Indonesia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, and Myanmar who hold qualifying visas from specific countries.
- Qualifying documents
- You must hold a resident card or entry visa (including eVisas) issued by Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea, New Zealand, any EU/Schengen country, the United Kingdom, or the United States. The document must be currently valid or have expired less than 10 years ago.
- Duration and entries
- The Travel Authorization Certificate is a multiple-entry permit valid for 90 days. You are generally limited to entering Taiwan a maximum of 6 times per calendar year.
- Delivery format
- The certificate is sent to your email as a PDF and must be printed. You must also carry the physical qualifying document (for example, your valid US visa or Japanese resident card) that you used for the application.

Taiwan eVisaeVisa
The Taiwan eVisa allows eligible travelers to visit Taiwan for tourism, business, or visiting relatives.
Apply now- Who it's for
- The eVisa is for nationals of eligible countries who are not covered by visa-free entry, such as certain Gulf, Balkan, Caribbean, and Pacific nations. If you are from a country not covered by the eVisa program, you must apply for a traditional sticker visa at a diplomatic mission.
- Permitted activities
- Tourism, business, or visiting relatives. Business travelers or event attendees must have been issued an E-code by a Taiwanese host organization.
- Duration and entries
- The eVisa is a single-entry visa valid for 90 days from issue, so you must enter Taiwan within that window. It typically allows a stay of up to 30 days from the date of entry.
- Delivery format
- You will receive the eVisa as a PDF via email. You must print a physical copy to present to the immigration officer at the border, as digital copies may not be accepted by all airlines or officials.

Taiwan visa FAQs
What travelers commonly ask about Taiwan visas.
Still have questions?
Our visa experts are available 24/7 on chat, email, and WhatsApp.
Do I need a visa or a Travel Authorization Certificate for Taiwan?
It depends on your nationality and if you already hold a qualifying visa. Visa-free: Citizens of the US, UK, EU, and (until July 31, 2026) the Philippines, Thailand, and Brunei can enter visa-free for 14–90 days. TAC (conditional visa-free): Citizens of India, Indonesia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, and Myanmar can apply for this Travel Authorization Certificate if they hold a valid visa or resident card from a "qualifying" country (US, Canada, Schengen, New Zealand, Australia, Japan, or South Korea). eVisa/Visitor Visa: If you do not meet the criteria for either of the above, you must apply for a standard Visitor Visa or eVisa.
Do I need a Taiwan Arrival Card if I am visa-exempt?
Yes. The Taiwan Arrival Card (TWAC) is mandatory for all foreign nationals entering the country, including those from visa-exempt countries (like the US, UK, Australia, and EU). It has replaced the old paper forms; without a digital submission, you will be required to use airport kiosks before you can join the immigration queue.
How long can I stay in Taiwan?
It depends on your travel document. Visa-exempt stays vary by nationality: most visa-exempt travelers (US, EU, Australia) receive 90 days, citizens of Malaysia and Singapore typically get 30 days, and those from the Philippines, Thailand, and Brunei are granted 14 days. The Travel Authorization Certificate allows a maximum stay of 30 days per visit, and the Taiwan eVisa typically allows a stay of up to 30 days from the date of entry.
How will I receive my Taiwan travel document?
The Taiwan Arrival Card is confirmed by email with a QR code and is linked to your passport. The Travel Authorization Certificate is sent as a PDF and must be printed, and you must also carry the physical qualifying document you used to apply. The Taiwan eVisa is sent as a PDF that you must print to present at the border, as digital copies may not be accepted by all airlines or officials.
Do children/minors need their own Taiwan travel document?
Yes. Every traveler, regardless of age, must have their own individual document. iVisa makes it easy to apply for the whole family in one go by using the "Add another person" feature during the application.
What happens if my Taiwan application is denied?
A denial is usually caused by a typo or because the system cannot verify a qualifying visa or passport details. If you are ineligible for the Travel Authorization Certificate, you will need to apply for a standard Taiwan Visitor Visa or an eVisa. iVisa's expert review catches errors before submission, and we also offer optional denial protection.
