Laotian citizens planning to visit Taiwan need to obtain a valid travel authorization before their journey. We at iVisa provide a streamlined application process that helps you secure your Taiwan visa without visiting an embassy.
Understanding Taiwan visa options for Laotian passport holders
Taiwan offers several visa options for Laotian citizens, with the R.O.C. Travel Authorization Certificate (TAE) being the most common choice for tourists and business visitors. This electronic authorization enables:
- Single entry into Taiwan
- A maximum stay of 30 days
- Validity period of 90 days from the date of issue
"The Taiwan Travel Authorization process has been significantly simplified in recent years, making it more accessible for Laotian travelers," notes a senior immigration consultant.

- Return ticket confirmation
