The Taiwan Travel Authorization Certificate (TAC) is a conditional electronic travel authorization issued by Taiwan's National Immigration Agency (NIA) for nationals of India, Vietnam, Indonesia, Myanmar, Cambodia, and Laos. Eligible travelers who hold a valid (or expired within 10 years) visa or resident card from the USA, Canada, UK, Schengen Area, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, or South Korea receive a 90-day multiple-entry certificate allowing stays of up to 14 days per visit.
Yes, with one important exception! Physical visas or resident cards issued by the USA, Canada, UK, Schengen Area, Japan, or South Korea that have expired within the past 10 years are accepted, provided you must carry the original physical passport containing that expired visa when entering Taiwan. However, electronic visas (e-Visas) from Australia or New Zealand must still be currently unexpired on the day you enter Taiwan.
Yes. Airline check-in staff and National Immigration Agency officers at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (TPE) or Kaohsiung (KHH) will inspect three items together: your current passport, your printed Taiwan TAC document, and the actual physical visa, resident card, or unexpired Australian/NZ e-Visa that you declared on the TAC application.
No commercial agency or third-party facilitator can guarantee TAC approval. Authorization decisions rest exclusively with the National Immigration Agency (NIA) of Taiwan. NomadicMart is an independent private application service not affiliated with the authorities in Taiwan or niaspeedy.immigration.gov.tw. While the NIA portal does not charge a government fee, our service fee covers expert document verification and 24/7 support.
No. Citizens of the United Kingdom, United States, European Union, Canada, Australia, Japan, South Korea, and the Philippines currently enjoy direct visa-free entry to Taiwan (90 days for UK/US/EU; 14 days for Philippines) and only need to complete the Taiwan Online Arrival Card (TWAC) within 3 days before arrival.
