Visa Information

Site -> http://www.gio.gov.tw/taiwan-website/2-visitor/2-faqs/index.htm

Tourist visas for the Republic of China can be obtained from the ROC Ministry of Foreign Affairs and ROC embassies, consulates, and designated representative offices in foreign countries.

Foreign nationals may obtain a visitor visa, if they hold a foreign passport or travel document valid for more than six months and wish to stay less than six months in the Republic of China for the purpose of business, sightseeing, family visits, study or training, visits by invitation (with letter of invitation), transit, technical assistance, medical treatment, and other legitimate activities.

Visa requirements include one completed application form, incoming and outgoing travel tickets (or a letter of confirmation from a travel agency), three photos, documents verifying the purpose of the visit (except for transit or sightseeing), and, in some cases, a letter of guarantee.

Those holding a visitor visa for tourism purposes may stay in the ROC for two weeks to 60 days and, unless restricted to two weeks, may apply for a maximum of two extensions of 60 days each, for a total of six months. The visa may be single- or multiple-entry and valid for up to one year (or up to five years for citizens of those countries that have signed reciprocal agreements with the ROC) for stays of up to six months. Holders of a visitor visa for tourism are not permitted to assume employment in the ROC.

Participants in major international meetings, and VIP visitors invited by the ROC government may be issued visas upon arrival, if their names are on an approved list.

Citizens of 18 countries, including the Austria, Australia, Belgium, Canada, Costa Rica, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the United States may enter the ROC visa-free for stays of up to 14 days, so long as their passports are valid for at least six months from the date of entry, and they possess onward or return tickets with confirmed seats.
