Taiwan ETA Policy for Indian Citizens
Taiwan's visa policy for Indian citizens requires advance application before travel. The electronic travel authorisation (${ETAW}) is applied for online and linked to your passport — no embassy visit and no visa sticker. Approval is typically issued within 2 business days. The government fee of $0 is set by Taiwan immigration authorities and is subject to change. PassportsAndVisas.com monitors policy updates daily and will notify you of any fee changes after your application is submitted.
Indian citizens should apply for their Taiwan visa at least 5 days before departure to allow time for processing and any document corrections. Rush processing is available for travelers with imminent departure dates. The Travel Authorization Certificate (TAC) is issued, and the 14-day stay period begins on arrival.
Traveling to Taiwan from India — What to Know Before You Go
Planning a trip to Taiwan from India involves a few key logistics beyond the visa. Direct flights are available from major India hubs to Taiwan's main international airports, with flight times varying depending on your departure city. We recommend booking refundable tickets until your visa is approved — PassportsAndVisas.com's service fee is charged only after visa approval, so you are not committed financially before your visa is confirmed.
Passport preparation is the most important step. Your India passport must have at least 6 months of validity remaining beyond your departure date from Taiwan, and at least 2 blank pages for entry stamps. If your passport is expiring soon, PassportsAndVisas.com can expedite India passport renewal — often faster than standard government processing times.
Once your Taiwan ETA is approved it is linked electronically to the passport you applied with — there is nothing to print. Travel on that same passport; carriers check it before boarding. Keep the approval email as a backup.
What Indian Citizens Need Before Applying
Applying for a Taiwan visa as a Indian citizen through PassportsAndVisas.com takes 5–10 minutes online. You will need your India passport (valid for 6+ months), a digital passport photo meeting Taiwan's exact specifications, and your travel dates. Our system guides you through each field and flags potential errors before submission.
