The Taiwan eVisa application process for Colombian citizens has been streamlined since January 2016, when Taiwan implemented its electronic visa system. We at iVisa understand the importance of a smooth visa application process and have developed an efficient system to assist Colombian travelers in obtaining their Taiwan eVisa.
Essential requirements and documentation
To apply for a Taiwan eVisa, Colombian citizens need to prepare the following documents:
- Valid passport with at least 6 months validity
- Digital passport-sized photo
- Proof of accommodation in Taiwan
- Return flight ticket
- Bank statement showing sufficient funds
- Passport copy of the main page
Pro Tip: Based on customer feedback, we recommend scanning your documents in color and ensuring all text is clearly legible to avoid processing delays.

Pro Tip: Many applicants have shared that preparing all documents before starting the application saves significant time. We recommend having your passport, accommodation details, and financial documents ready before beginning.
Colombian citizens should note that while the eVisa is valid for 90 days from the issue date, the maximum stay in Taiwan is limited to 30 days. This timing is crucial when planning your trip.
