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.
