Taiwan Travel Authorization | iVisa

Taiwan is an East Asian country with a lot to offer tourists. It's a small territory, but it has incredible food, affordable prices to travel around, beaches to relax on, and mountains to climb. However, the National Immigration Agency requires a visa or Travel Authorization to explore Taiwan.

The advantage of the Taiwan Travel Authorization Certificate is that travelers can apply online. It takes only a few clicks to fill out the online application, and you will receive the document in your email. No need to visit an embassy. Easy, right?

This article will show you all the application details and requirements for foreign passport holders.

What is the Taiwan Travel Authorization Certificate?

The National Immigration Agency developed the Taiwan Travel Authorization Certificate to make it easier for some nationals to visit Taiwan. Also known as the ROC Travel Authorization Certificate, the document works as a Multiple entry visa, valid for 90 days after arrival. Among the requirements is that you must already have other visas issued.

It's pretty easy to apply online. The traveler only has to provide some personal and travel details, and after processing, the document arrives by email. The applicant can count on iVisa support throughout the entire process.

Valid regular passports are necessary for the online application. The traveler cannot have immigration irregularities or law violations. Also, people holding temporary, emergency, or informal passports, an issued Alien Resident Certificate, or travel documents other than a passport cannot submit online applications.

Be aware that the Travel Authorization Certificate is required for arrival and departure immigration inspection in Taiwan.
