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.
