1Overview
The Taiwan Arrival Card (TWAC) is an online immigration declaration for entering Taiwan for tourism, visiting family or friends, business or short-term study. It is not a visa and does not grant entry.
Entry still requires visa-exempt status or a valid visa; Chinese citizens need an Entry & Exit Permit.
Who needs it
- All foreign travelers without a resident certificate need it, including visa-exempt nationals and visitor visa holders.
- Every traveler needs a card, including children; parents or guardians can complete minors' forms.
- Travelers who stay in the international transit area and do not pass immigration do not need it; a layover with customs or baggage re-check does.
