Purpose: The Taiwan Online Arrival Card is a mandatory electronic entry form, replacing the traditional paper arrival cards. It is not a visa and does not replace visa requirements.

Who is required: All foreign travelers entering Taiwan — including visa-exempt visitors, eVisa holders, visa holders — must complete the Taiwan Online Arrival Card prior to arrival.

When to apply: Travelers must complete the online Arrival Card within 3 days prior to arrival. With iVisa, you can apply even earlier. We'll submit your info as soon as the window opens.

Delivery format: After completing the online form, travelers receive a confirmation (usually via email or on-screen confirmation). No printed document is typically required, but travelers may retain a copy for reference if needed.

Purpose: The Taiwan Travel Authorization Certificate (TAC) is an online entry permit that allows eligible nationals to travel to Taiwan visa-free for short-term visits. It is not a visa but serves as pre-entry authorization for qualifying travelers.

Who is eligible: Travelers from India, Indonesia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos may apply online for a Travel Authorization Certificate (TAC) if they hold valid visas or permanent residency from countries like the U.S., UK, Japan, South Korea, Canada, Schengen states, Australia, or New Zealand.

The qualifying visa or residence permit must have been used previously to enter the issuing country (except for e-visas or electronic authorizations, which are not eligible).

Duration and extensions: The approved Travel Authorization Certificate is valid for 90 days from issuance and allows stays of up to 30 days per visit. Extensions are not permitted.

Entries: The TAC allows multiple entries during its 90-day validity period, provided each stay does not exceed 30 days.

Delivery format: Once approved, the Travel Authorization Certificate is issued instantly online. Travelers must print the authorization and present it along with their valid passport and qualifying visa/residence permit upon arrival in Taiwan.

The Taiwan Visitor Visa is issued to eligible travelers (via an embassy or consulate) for short-term purposes such as tourism, visiting family or friends, business trips, attending conferences, or engaging in short training programs and inspections.

It is usually valid for three months and can be granted as a single- or multiple-entry visa. Depending on nationality, the maximum stay ranges from 60 to 90 days.

This visa is designed for young travelers aged 18 to 30 (though the age limit varies by nationality). Its primary purpose is cultural exchange and travel, with work permitted only as a secondary means to support the stay.

The visa is valid for 12 months, beginning with an initial six-month stay that can be extended once for another six months. It permits multiple entries but limits employment; holders cannot work for the same employer for more than six months.
