About the Taiwan visa

Taiwan offers Taipei 101, night markets, Taroko Gorge, Sun Moon Lake and excellent public transport. Indian passport holders have a few routes, and the right one depends on the visas you already hold.

Indians who hold, or have held within the last ten years, a visa or residence permit from the US, UK, Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea or a Schengen state can usually get a free online Travel Authorization Certificate for a 30-day stay. Others apply for an eVisa or a regular visa through the Taipei Economic and Cultural Center in India.
