Visa requirements for Taiwanese citizens

Visa requirements for Taiwanese citizens are administrative entry restrictions by the authorities of other states placed on nationals of the Republic of China (Taiwan) who have also established household registration in Taiwan.

The law of Taiwan has a distinction on its nationals' right of abode to its territory for those with or without household registration in Taiwan (NWHR and NWOHR).^[1]

The nationals with household registration (NWHRs), also referred as citizens, are eligible to apply for National Identification Card with an ID number, and the ID number is imprinted on the passport's biodata page to signify the holder's status against the nationals without household registration (NWOHRs). Holders of passports with National ID number can travel to more countries and territories without visas than those without.

The Taiwan passport is one of the five passports with the most improved rating globally since 2006 in terms of number of countries that its holders may visit without a visa.^[2]

As of 2024, nationals of Republic of China with rights of abode in Taiwan had visa-free or visa on arrival access to 143 countries and territories, ranking the Taiwan passport 34th in the world according to the Henley Passport Index.^[3]
