Indian citizens usually need a visa to visit Taiwan, unless they qualify for visa-free entry through a Travel Authorization Certificate. If they don't qualify, they'll need to apply for a Taiwan Visitor Visa through a Taiwan embassy or consulate in India.

Taiwan Travel Authorization Certificate (TAC): Allows Indian citizens a visa-free entry to Taiwan for 14 days if they hold a valid visa or residence permit from an eligible country (US, Canada, UK, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, or Schengen countries).

General Taiwan visa requirements for India travelers are:
Indian passport valid for at least six months
Passport-size photo
Confirmed round-trip flight ticket and accommodation reservation
Cover letter stating purpose and itinerary

FAQs

Do Indian citizens need a visa for Taiwan?

Yes, Indian citizens need a visa or travel authorization to enter Taiwan. India is not on Taiwan’s visa-exemption list, so you can’t enter visa-free like some other nationalities.

What is the processing time of a Taiwan visa for India applicants?

This depends on the document you're applying for:

Visitor visa (traditional): Usually 2-7 working days, depending on the application location and season.
eVisa (if eligible): Around 7 working days after online submission.
Travel Authorization Certificate (TAC): Usually 1-3 working days. With iVisa, you can get your Taiwan Travel Authorization in as little as 1 day, depending on your eligibility and documentation.

How long can Indian nationals stay in Taiwan?

Indian citizens granted a short-term visa or eVisa are typically authorized to remain in Taiwan for up to 30 days. The Taiwan Travel Authorization allows a stay of up to 14 days.

Longer stays for purposes such as employment, study, or residency require a separate long-term visa or residence permit issued under different regulations.

Do Indian citizens need a visa when transiting through Taiwan?

Indian passport holders do not require a visa when transiting through a Taiwanese airport without passing immigration control. However, if the transit involves exiting the airport of clearing immigration, a valid Taiwan visa of entry authorization is required.

Can Indian nationals extend their stay in Taiwan?

Certain short-term visas issued to Indian citizens may be eligible for extension through Taiwan’s National Immigration Agency, provided the visa is not marked “No Extension.” Extensions are assessed on a case-by-case basis and depend on the visa type, purpose of stay, and compliance with immigration regulations.
