Taiwan: Passport and Visa

ENTRY/EXIT REQUIREMENTS:  U.S. passport holders will be allowed to enter Taiwan without a visa for up to thirty days (no extensions allowed) if they have a passport valid for at least six months from the date of entry into Taiwan and they have a confirmed return or onward air ticket.  Travelers must have already met any additional visa requirements for the next destination, if applicable.  If the passport is valid for less than six months from the date of entry into Taiwan, travelers may apply for a landing visa with a duration of stay of no more than thirty days. The processing fee is NT $4,900 (currently equivalent to approximately US $162.00; U.S. currency is not accepted) and no extensions are allowed.  Travelers also have the additional option of applying for and receiving a Taiwan visa prior to arrival in Taiwan.  The processing fee is US$100.00.

DESCRIPTION:  Taiwan is a stable democracy with a strong and well-developed economy.  Tourist facilities are widely available.

REGISTRATION/LOCATION OF THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE:  The American Institute in Taiwan (AIT) is authorized by law to perform American citizen services.  Americans living or traveling in Taiwan are encouraged to register with AIT through the State Department's travel registration web site, and to obtain updated information on travel and security within Taiwan.  Americans resident in Taiwan are encouraged also to become a member of AIT's group email notifications by sending an email to aittaipeiacs-subscribe@yahoogroups.com.  Americans without Internet access may register directly with AIT Taipei or AIT Kaohsiung.  By registering, American citizens make it easier for the American Institute or Consulate to contact them in case of emergency.
