Thailand visa for Taiwanese citizens (Visa on Arrival)

Disclaimer: An arrival card is not a visa. It cannot be used as a substitute for a visa and does not grant permission to enter any country. Travelers are responsible for obtaining the appropriate visa, if required, prior to arrival. The arrival card is for administrative purposes only and does not serve as a travel authorization or entry permit.

Taiwanese, along with the citizens of another 20 countries, are eligible for a Thailand visa on arrival. As a result, they are not required to go to a Thai embassy to get their visa. They can get it when they get to Thailand at one of the 48 immigration checkpoints that issue this document. Also, you can apply online for a Thailand visa on arrival, but only if you plan to travel by plane and land at Suvarnabhumi airport. iVisa can help you get the proper documentation in as little as 18 days.
