Visa types

  • Up to 90 days visa-free per visit for tourism, business, or social visits
  • No paid work permitted under visa-free entry
  • Present passport, return ticket, and arrival card at immigration at Taoyuan or other international airports
  • Extension of the 90-day period is generally not available for visa-free entrants; travelers must leave and may re-enter after a reasonable interval

Fees & processing time

  • No fee for visa-free entry
  • No processing time required - present documents directly at the border
  • Resident or work visas obtained in advance have separate fees, approx EUR 60-100, and processing times of 5-10 working days through the Taipei Representative Office in Berlin

Tips for Germany travelers

  • Ensure your return or onward ticket is booked before departure, as airlines may check this before boarding
  • Keep proof of hotel booking or host address handy for immigration
  • For stays beyond 90 days, arrange the correct visa category in advance - overstaying visa-free entry carries fines and possible entry bans
  • Taiwan's residency processes are separate from visa-free tourist entry and require planning well ahead
