1Overview
The Taiwan Travel Authorization Certificate (TAC) is an entry permit for conditional visa-exempt travelers visiting for tourism or business.
Permitted purposes include business, study, sightseeing, exhibitions, visiting relatives, medical care, conferences and religious travel. Migrant work is not allowed.
Who needs it
- Needed by citizens of India, Indonesia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar who hold a qualifying visa or resident card from a listed country.
- Qualifying countries: US, Canada, UK, Japan, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand or a Schengen country.
- Citizens of the US, UK and EU are visa-free and do not need a TAC.
- Travelers who fit neither category need a standard Visitor Visa or eVisa.
- Only regular passports can be used online; former migrant workers in Taiwan are not eligible.
- Vietnamese citizens cannot qualify on a Japanese or Korean document; anyone qualifying via Japan or Korea must have actually entered that country.
