Taiwan Streamlines Arrival Procedures: Transition to Online Entry Applications from October

The National Immigration Agency (NIA) of Taiwan, equivalent to the Immigration Department, announced on June 17 that from October 1, paper applications for the “Entry Card” required for foreigners entering Taiwan will be discontinued, and applications will be streamlined online.

Applications can be made on NIA’s website from three days before arriving in Taiwan. Families or groups, up to a maximum of 16 members, can apply simultaneously. Holders of Residence Visas, Alien Resident Certificates (ARC), and Diplomatic Identification Cards (MOFA CARD) will not need to apply as before.

On May 5, NIA revamped its online application site. By taking and uploading a photo of the passport’s photo page, the required information is automatically entered, allowing for smooth application processing and receiving positive feedback.
