How to apply for your Taiwan visa with iVisa

1

Complete your online application

Answer a few simple questions, upload your documents, see when you’ll get your visa, and pay using secure methods. You can save your progress and come back anytime. Most people finish in under 20 minutes.

2

We review your application

The Taiwan visa system is known for being a bit picky – your photo must be the right size, and your passport scan must be clear.

Don’t worry – we review your whole application to catch anything that might cause delays. One of our experts checks everything for errors or missing information to make sure it’s ready to go. This review is quick but thorough.

3

We submit it for government processing

We’re not the government, but we submit your application to them and are here for you along the way if there are any problems.

This is issued 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.

Unfortunately, we don’t currently offer this visa*

Resident Visa*

This visa allows holders to remain in Taiwan for longer periods, typically up to one year, and serves as the basis for obtaining the Taiwanese Alien Residence Card (ARC). It is required for activities such as employment, family reunification, and study. Valid for stays exceeding 180 days, the Resident Visa can be issued as single- or multiple-entry, and is generally valid for up to one year. Holders must have prior approval where applicable, such as work authorization, admission to a Taiwanese institution, or proof of family ties.

Unfortunately, we don’t currently offer this visa*

Working Holiday Visa*

This is designed for young travelers, usually between the ages of 18 and 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.

Unfortunately, we don’t currently offer this visa*

Entrepreneur Visa*

This visa supports the country’s growing startup ecosystem by granting entry to individuals looking to establish or develop a business. To qualify, applicants must meet specific government criteria. The visa is generally valid for two years, allows multiple entries, and can be extended to support longer-term business ventures.

Unfortunately, we don’t currently offer this visa*

Taiwan visa policy

Taiwan’s visa policy includes various options depending on the traveler’s nationality, visit reason, and stay length. Citizens of over 60 countries, including the United States, Canada, the EU Schengen Area, Japan, and Australia, can enter Taiwan visa-free for short visits ranging from 14 to 90 days, depending on nationality.

Eligible travelers from select countries, such as India, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Thailand, may apply online for a Travel Authorization Certificate (TAC) if they hold valid visas or permanent residency from countries like the U.S., UK, Canada, Schengen states, Australia, or New Zealand.

For travelers not eligible for visa-free entry or TAC, Taiwan offers an official eVisa for short-term tourism, business visits, and select government-approved purposes. This eVisa is typically valid for 90 days and allows a single entry for up to 30 days.

Those intending to work, study, join family, or stay long-term must apply for a Resident Visa through a Taiwanese diplomatic mission. This visa can be converted into an Alien Resident Certificate (ARC) after entry, permitting extended stays and re-entry rights.

Taiwan does not offer a Visa on Arrival for most travelers, and visitors from jurisdictions such as Mainland China require additional permits and approval procedures.

Yes, both the Taiwan eVisa and the Taiwan TAC are valid at all major Taiwanese airports and seaports. You can use them to enter Taiwan through any of the following entry points:

Airports: Taiwan Taoyuan (TPE), Taipei Songshan (TSA), Taichung (RMQ), Kaohsiung (KHH), Tainan (TNN), Chiayi (CYI), Taitung (TTT), Hualien (HUN)

Seaports: Keelung, Taipei, Taichung, Kaohsiung, Hualien, Shuitou, Fu’ao, Magong/Kinmen

The TAC is valid 90 days from the issue date and allows multiple entries. Each stay is limited to 14 days.

The Taiwan eVisa is an electronic visa available to travelers from specific countries invited by the Taiwanese government or who are attending designated events. It’s suitable for tourism, short business trips, or official visits.

The eVisa allows a single entry and a maximum stay of 30 days.

No, Taiwan requires no mandatory vaccinations for entry, including yellow fever. However, the Taiwan Centers for Disease Control and the CDC (U.S.) recommend: Routine immunizations (MMR, tetanus-diphtheria, influenza, etc.)

Measles-mumps-rubella (MMR), especially important due to global measles outbreaks

Hepatitis A (often suggested for travelers to Asia)

No. If you remain in the international transit area, you do not need a visa, eVisa, or TAC. This applies even if your layover spans overnight, as long as you don’t pass through immigration.

Taiwan does not offer separate visas for these purposes. Instead, all long-term stays, whether for work, study, or family reunification, fall under the Taiwan Resident Visa, which must be obtained through a Taiwanese diplomatic mission.

We offer Denial Protection, a service that guarantees a 100% refund of your application fee if the government rejects your visa. This refund does not include the denial protection fee or government fees.

We recommend submitting your application at least 5–10 business days before your departure date. This window helps ensure timely processing and accounts for possible delays.

The standard processing time is 3–7 business days, sometimes extending to 10 if additional review is required or during peak travel seasons.

The eVisa is valid for 90 days from issue, giving you plenty of flexibility to travel within that period.
