Taiwan Visa – How To Apply For A Taiwanese Visa
Updated As of

A great tourist destination in Taiwan. For travel to Taiwan, a Taiwan visa will not be necessary for tourism and business purposes for up to 90 days. However, you will need a passport that is up to date. Taiwan requires at least 3 months or 90 days of validity to be left on your passport before you will be able to enter Taiwan. If you have a passport with less than 3 months validity on it, then Taiwanese Immigration will allow you to stay in Taiwan up until your passport has fully expired. Keep in mind, this may cause issues when returning to the United States since a valid passport will be needed in order for you to enter the United States.
Below are guidelines to keep in mind regarding your passport:
Validity- According to Taiwan, only 3 months validity should be on your passport when your travel to that country. Though this is acceptable to Taiwan, it may not be acceptable in countries you wish to visit that border Taiwan. Be sure to inquire about the specifics of each country before you enter them
Visa Pages- There should be at least (2) blank visa pages in your passport book when you travel to Taiwan. This will allow for Taiwanese Immigration to enter the appropriate visa stamps into your passport book.
Transit Visa- If you will be connecting flights on the way to Taiwan, then you may need to obtain a transit visa while you wait on your layover in the other country where your flight connects. Find out the specifics of your flight with your airline company.
