    Multiple-entry Visitor Visa for Business PurposeVisa-required business visitors who qualify for and require repeated entries to Taiwan rather than a single visit.$100.00Varies by the responsible Taiwan overseas mission; approval and permitted entries are determined by the issuing authority.
    eVisa for eligible business visitorsEligible nationalities and certain business travelers may apply online. Taiwan also permits eVisa applications in specified cases for foreign nationals invited to qualifying international conferences, trade fairs, or other activities organized, co-organized, or sponsored by Taiwan central government agencies, generally with an Ecode from the host organization. Certain business visitors from Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Iran, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka may qualify through recommendation by a TAITRA overseas office, subject to current restrictions.—BOCA recommends applying at least 7 days before the intended travel date.

    As of July 17, 2026, BOCA lists visa-free stays of up to 90 days for nationals including Australia, Canada, Japan, Republic of Korea, the United States, the United Kingdom, most EU/EEA-related listed European countries, New Zealand and several other listed states; up to 30 days for Belize, Malaysia, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines and Singapore; 90 days for eligible Honduran nationals; 30 days for eligible Dominican Republic nationals; and 14 days for Oman. Thailand, Brunei and the Philippines have 14-day visa exemption through July 31, 2027, subject to passport and other stated conditions. Nationality, passport type, place-of-birth restrictions and other exceptions can change eligibility. Visa-exempt visitors may conduct business and attend exhibitions when no separate activity permit is required.

    Taiwan Customs accepts ATA Carnets under bilateral treaties or agreements with specified countries. Taipei Customs currently lists 41 partner countries, including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, many European countries, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, India, Israel and South Africa. Eligible goods include professional equipment, goods for display or use at exhibitions and international fairs, and commercial samples. Consumables, perishables, tobacco and alcohol, controlled goods, goods not intended for re-export, and goods imported for processing or repair are excluded. Carnet validity may not exceed one year, and goods must be re-exported within the applicable validity period.

    Venue connectivity

    Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center (TaiNEX 1) is served by two MRT lines: Bannan Line (Blue) and Wenhu Line (Brown) at Nangang Exhibition Center Station. It is a 15-minute ride from Taipei city center. High-Speed Rail (THSR) and Taiwan Railways (TRA) connect at Nangang Station, with a short MRT transfer. Multiple bus routes (205, 212, 276, 306, 645, 679) stop nearby. The venue is accessible via National Highways No. 1 and 3. Several hotels are within walking distance (e.g., Courtyard by Marriott, Green World Nangang, Forward Hotel). The venue is adjacent to LaLaport Nangang shopping complex, CityLink mall, and CTBC Financial Park.

    Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.

    Business Card Etiquette

    Exchange business cards with both hands, presenting the card so the text faces the recipient. Study the card carefully before putting it away; never write on or place it in your back pocket.

    Greetings & Hierarchy

    A slight nod or bow is polite for initial greetings. Address the most senior person first. Punctuality is expected for business meetings. Silence in conversation indicates thoughtfulness, not awkwardness.

    Gift-Giving Taboos

    Gifts are appreciated but not mandatory. Avoid clocks, umbrellas, knives, or items in sets of four, as these carry negative connotations (death, separation). Wrap gifts neatly and present them with both hands.

    Dress Code

    Business attire is conservative. For formal meetings, wear suits or professional business wear. In October's warm weather, short-sleeve shirts with ties are common; jackets are often optional. Avoid t-shirts, jeans, and casual wear for first meetings. The show itself allows smart casual, but avoid slippers.

    Dining & Social

    If invited to a meal, wait to be seated. It is polite to try a bit of everything offered. Offering to pay is courteous, but do not insist if the host refuses. Group outings are common for relationship-building.

    Language & Communication

    Learning a few Mandarin phrases shows respect: "Ni hao" (Hello), "Xiexie" (Thank you). English is not widely spoken outside business circles, so have your venue address and key phrases handy.

    Visitor & Exhibitor Essentials

    Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.

    Flights

    Destination: Taipei Songshan (TSA) or Taiwan Taoyuan (TPE)

    Book flights at least 2-3 months ahead for better rates. Taoyuan (TPE) is the main international hub; Songshan (TSA) is closer but handles mostly regional routes.

    Visa

    Taiwan entry requirements depend on nationality and passport type. Many eligible visitors can attend the Taiwan Outdoor Show visa-free because Taiwan permits visa-exempt entry for conducting business and attending exhibitions. Travelers who are not visa-exempt generally need a Visitor Visa for Business Purpose or may use an eVisa if they meet BOCA eligibility rules.

    Processing: No single worldwide processing time is published for ordinary business visitor visas because applications are handled by the responsible Taiwan overseas mission. For eVisa applications, BOCA recommends applying at least 7 days before travel.

    US$50 is the standard overseas fee for a single-entry visitor visa and US$100 for a multiple-entry visitor visa, although reciprocal and special handling fees can apply. Visa-exempt travelers pay no visa fee. Eligible eVisa applicants normally pay NT$1,646 including the online payment processing fee, except nationals BOCA identifies as fee-exempt. Visa-exempt travelers should verify passport-validity and onward-ticket rules and complete Taiwan's online Arrival Card within seven days before arrival. Holders of emergency or temporary passports from visa-exempt nationalities, other than qualifying US passport holders, may in certain cases apply for a landing visa instead of using ordinary visa-exempt entry.

    Transport

    Get to the venue and around the city with these options.

    Airport → venue: Taipei Songshan (TSA) is closest (~6.6 km, ~20 min by MRT). Taoyuan (TPE) is the main international hub (~38.7 km). Direct Kuo-Kuang Bus 1843 from TPE to venue (~1h 20m). Alternatively, Airport MRT to Taipei Main Station, then transfer to Bannan Line.

    Hotel → venue: Downtown Atlanta and convention-center hotels are typically within walking distance or a short ride-hail/MARTA trip to the venue.

    Ride-hail: Uber and local taxi apps (e.g., 55688) are widely available. A ride from central Taipei to the venue costs approximately NT$200-400 (~US$6-13).

    Public transit: The MRT is the most efficient option. Use an EasyCard for seamless travel on metro and buses. Multiple bus routes (205, 276, 306, 620, 645, etc.) also serve the venue.

    Parking: Venue underground parking (B1) has 620 car spaces and 1,770 motorcycle spaces. Height clearance 2.4m. Operating hours 07:00–22:00. Rates vary by event; public transport is strongly recommended as spaces are limited.

    Plan your trip

    Planning

    Best day to visit: Friday, October 2, 2026

    Recommendation, not an organizer-designated best day. October 2 is the opening Friday, has the full official 10:00-18:00 show window and already has a dated booth activity published for that day. Visiting first also leaves the remaining three exhibition days available for follow-up meetings or a second pass if needed.

    T-30

    Define your sourcing or product-discovery priorities against the show's outdoor categories — Recommended planning step. The 2026 exhibit profile covers mountaineering and hiking, camping, car camping, water activities, skiing, functional apparel, leisure products and other outdoor goods.

    T-21

    Confirm Taiwan entry eligibility and complete travel planning — Overseas visitors are responsible for their own visa and entry compliance. Check Taiwan BOCA rules for your nationality and review the organizer's official hotel list if accommodation is required.

    T-14

    Redeem the overseas visitor admission or decide to buy an onsite ticket — Eligible overseas registrants can redeem admission QR codes for the four show days. Onsite regular admission is NT$200 per person.

    T-10

    Shortlist target exhibitors, products and booth activities — Use the current exhibitor, product and booth-event pages to build a focused target list rather than walking the hall without priorities.

    T-7

    Build a priority route using booth numbers — The official 2026 floor-plan page is still marked Updating Soon as of August 27, 2026, so use published booth numbers until a full plan is released.

    T-3

    Send meeting requests and prepare a simple note and follow-up template — Recommendation for buyers and business visitors. Prioritize the highest-value brand, distributor and sourcing conversations first.

    T-1

    Finish overseas ticket redemption and save your QR code — The organizer states that the overseas redemption system closes at 11:59 PM on the day before the exhibition starts.

    T-0

    Arrive with admission QR code and identification or business card — The show runs 10:00-18:00. Overseas admission verification may require identification or a business card.

    2

    TaiNEX 1 B1 dining area

    On-site informal meeting recommendation

    Not an official Taiwan Outdoor Show networking programme. Recommended because the venue confirms a B1 dining area, making it convenient for short conversations without leaving TaiNEX.

    Gourmet of Nangang CITYLINK

    Post-show meeting recommendation

    Not event-affiliated. Taipei Travel describes Nangang CITYLINK as a dining and shopping destination at Nangang Station, making it practical for informal conversations after exhibition hours.

    Decision

    Visit, exhibit, or skip?

    Should you go?

    Answer eight event-specific questions on fit, budget, readiness and ROI. Higher scores indicate the most practical 2026 path.

    QUESTION 1 OF 8

    How closely do your priorities match the show's outdoor product categories?

    Decision matrix

    Compare participation options side by side to choose the best fit for your objectives.

    visit

    Choose Visit when category fit is strong but booth ROI, timing or budget is not strong enough to justify exhibiting.

    Best for

    Retail buyers, distributors, outdoor-industry professionals and enthusiasts who need product discovery, supplier comparison, market learning or targeted meetings without booth commitment.

    Timeline

    A focused visit can still be planned within the remaining weeks. Overseas admission redemption closes at 11:59 PM on October 1, 2026.

    Risks

    The official 2026 floor plan has not yet been published.

    A mixed professional and consumer audience can reduce efficiency if meetings are not pre-planned.

    Travel and entry costs vary significantly by origin and nationality.

    exhibit

    Choose Exhibit only if the organizer confirms availability now, your products fit the show categories, the team can complete logistics during September, and you have measurable commercial targets.

    Best for

    Outdoor brands and suppliers with strong Taiwan-market relevance, a demonstrable product range, clear lead goals and the ability to activate immediately.

    Min. budget

    $2,600.00

    Timeline

    Immediate action is required. The organizer scheduled booth-location selection for July 2026, September for forms and extra service orders, September 30-October 1 for move-in, and October 2-5 for the show.

    Risks

    The scheduled July booth-location selection period has already passed as of August 27, 2026, so remaining booth availability is uncertain.

    The USD 2,600 standard-booth fee excludes travel, staffing, freight, samples and campaign costs.

    Down payments are non-refundable and cancellation refunds become more restrictive after booth selection.

    Weak lead qualification or slow follow-up can make the late preparation window difficult to justify.

    skip

    Choose Skip when neither a focused visit nor a late-stage exhibit has a credible business case for the 2026 edition.

    Best for

    Companies with low outdoor-category fit, weak Taiwan-market relevance, unresolved travel constraints, no measurable objective or insufficient readiness for the compressed exhibitor timeline.

    Timeline

    No pre-show commitment required.

    Risks

    Skipping removes an opportunity for direct Taiwan market learning and product benchmarking.

    You may miss potential distributor, retailer or brand conversations available at the show.
