Visitors to the Republic of China (Taiwan) must obtain a visa or authorization in advance, unless they come from one of the visa exempt countries or countries whose nationals are eligible for visa on arrival. All visitors must hold a passport valid for 6 months (except citizens of Japan and the United States who are only required to hold a passport valid for the entire duration of stay).^[1]

Taiwan has special entry requirements to current or former nationals of the People's Republic of China (PRC, commonly known as China) who reside or previously resided in Mainland China. Furthermore, nationals of certain countries must follow different requirements for applications of visitor visas.

Taiwan's immigration system separates work rights and rights of abode from visas. Work rights are regulated though Work Permits issued by the Workforce Development Agency, while Resident Certificates issued by the National Immigration Agency control residence rights. Talent Taiwan was created in 2023 to provide a single agency that could provide advice across all such aspects.^[2][3][4]
