Taiwan admits most Western and Northeast Asian business travellers visa-free: US, Canadian, UK, EU/EEA, Swiss, Australian, New Zealand, Japanese and South Korean passport holders receive 90 days, while several Southeast Asian nationalities qualify for 30 days or for the free online Travel Authorization Certificate. Nationalities outside those schemes need a visitor visa from a Taipei representative office, with fees around USD 50 and 5–10 working days of processing. Passports must remain valid for at least six months beyond the planned stay, and exhibitors should carry an invitation letter for freight and customs clearance.
Estimated cost: Varies by visa type and nationality (check official site).
Processing: Varies by nationality; apply several weeks before travel.
Passport must be valid at least six months beyond the planned departure date; proof of onward travel, accommodation and sufficient funds may be requested at immigration. The Travel Authorization Certificate permits multiple entries of 30 days each within a 90-day validity and is issued free of charge through BOCA's online portal.
