Please note that starting November 1, 2017, “Travel Authorization Certificate” (TAC) for qualified visa-free travellers and the e-visa (online visa) will be suspended upon the implementation of the visa-free treatment. Passengers who enter Taiwan before Nov. 1 with valid TACs may continue to stay for up to 30 days. But for passengers who do not enter Taiwan before Nov. 1, their TACs will be no longer valid even within its validity. All approved e-visas before Nov. 1 (including the date) will still be valid to enter Taiwan with duration of stay up to 30 days. Those who have already obtained long-term & multiple Taiwan visas which have been stamped on their passports can still use their visas to enter the ROC (Taiwan).
