🇹🇼 Taiwan Visitor Visa
The Taiwan visitor visa is a short-term visa that must be obtained by citizens of the Republic of Türkiye in order to visit relatives, family members, friends, or acquaintances living in Taiwan. Visitor visa applications for Taiwan are made exclusively online through the e-visa system. This system makes the application process very easy and fast. Applications are evaluated and finalized directly by the Taiwan Immigration Office; the Taiwan Embassy in Ankara has no authority to approve or reject visitor visa applications. Additionally, there is no exemption based on passport type. All passport holders—Ordinary (Bordo), Special (Green), Service (Gray), and Diplomatic (Black)—are required to obtain a visitor e-visa to enter Taiwan.
📝 How to Obtain a Taiwan Visitor E-Visa?
Applying for a Taiwan visitor e-visa is very straightforward. The only required document is a passport. The passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond the end date of the visa. The passport pages must be clear, legible, and undamaged. Required information is entered into the online form and submitted to the system. From this stage onward, the process is handled by Taiwan Immigration Office officials, who have the exclusive authority to approve or reject applications.
In rare cases, additional documents may be requested from the applicant, but this is exceptional and usually only the passport copy is sufficient. Once the application is approved, the e-visa is sent to the applicant via email. The email contains a barcode e-visa, which must be printed and presented to Taiwan border officials upon entry.
The approved visitor e-visa is valid for a maximum of 3 months and is single-entry only. The visa holder may enter Taiwan once and stay for up to 30 days during that entry.
🕒 How Long Does It Take to Get a Taiwan Visitor Visa?
The Taiwan visitor e-visa application process is very short. Once the passport image is uploaded and the online form is completed, the application moves to the decision stage. Under normal circumstances, applications are processed within 3 business days. However, processing may take longer in cases of high application volume or if additional documents are requested. Completing the application thoroughly ensures a faster and smoother approval process.
