Taiwan Visa-Free — Completely Free for Most Visitors
For the 165+ nationalities eligible for visa-free entry, Taiwan costs nothing in terms of visa fees. There is no application, no portal, no processing fee. This applies to most Western passport holders and many Asian nationalities. The 90-day stay period is very generous by regional standards and allows ample time for tourism, business meetings, or remote work.
Visa Fees for Non-Visa-Free Nationalities
Citizens of countries not on the visa-free list must apply for a visitor visa at a Taipei Economic and Cultural Office (TECO) or Taiwan representative office. Fees are approximately USD 31 for single entry and USD 62 for multiple entry, though exact fees may vary by nationality and TECO office location due to reciprocal arrangements. Check boca.gov.tw for the applicable fee for your nationality.
Extension of Stay Fees
Visitors who wish to stay longer than their initial period can apply for an extension at a National Immigration Agency office. Extension fees range from TWD 300 to TWD 1,000 (approximately USD 10–33) depending on the extension type. Extensions are granted at the officer's discretion and require proof of sufficient funds, accommodation and a valid reason for extended stay.
Payment Methods
TECO offices accept credit cards, bank transfers or cash depending on location. National Immigration Agency extension fees are paid at NIA offices by cash or card. Online payment is not widely available for visa applications. Always check the specific TECO office or NIA branch you plan to use for accepted payment methods before applying.
