Corporate Taiwan Visa Support for Business Delegations and Trade Visitors

Which Taiwan route fits each traveller

Online travel authorisation. The Bureau of Consular Affairs describes a visa-exemption programme for Indian nationals who hold a valid resident or visitor visa (including electronic) or resident certificate issued by the United States, Canada, Japan, the United Kingdom, Schengen countries, Australia or New Zealand, and who have never been employed in Taiwan as blue-collar workers. It permits a stay of up to 30 days, applied for online with the National Immigration Agency; travellers who cannot show a qualifying visa or certificate at immigration are not admitted. The page does not itself define business activity, so confirm with the TECC that your trip is covered. The Bureau of Consular Affairs page we reviewed carries a 2015 date (effective 1 January 2016), so confirm with the TECC or the National Immigration Agency that the programme is still in force.

Business visa. Travellers without a qualifying visa apply for a visa at the Taipei Economic and Cultural Center (TECC). The TECC’s New Delhi page sets out the business-visa documents below; the online form is completed on the Bureau of Consular Affairs visa portal and printed. Submission is in person at the visa counter only — post, courier, fax and email are not accepted. The Chennai office publishes its own list, so confirm which office serves each traveller.

Group files go wrong when the employer side and the traveller side are prepared separately. Use this split as a working checklist; the exact list for your category and each traveller is confirmed by the visa centre and the inviting party.

How we run a Taiwan team file

1. Split the team by route. Travellers holding a qualifying visa or resident certificate can be prepared for the online authorisation; the rest need a TECC business visa.
2. Get the Taiwan inviter’s letter. It must state the purpose and the applicant’s details; the inviter’s personal ID and company registration are not required for Indian passport holders.
3. Prepare the company papers. Government company registration certificate (not GST), three months of company bank statements with the bank’s stamp, and one year’s ITR.
4. File in person. Post, courier, fax and email are not accepted by the TECC, so we plan counter attendance for the whole group and track collection.

Planning around a Taipei trade show

Taiwan events covered in detail on this site, with dates, venues and registration steps:

• COMPUTEX Taipei (June 2027)
• Food Taipei (June 2027)

Timing, fees and processing

Fix each traveller’s route first: an online authorisation can be prepared quickly if the qualifying visa is already held, whereas the business-visa file needs the Taiwanese inviter’s letter and the company’s registration and bank papers before anyone can attend the counter. Counter submission hours and collection hours are published on the TECC page (weekday mornings for submission, afternoons for collection), so plan travel to the office accordingly.

What commonly delays a team application

• Treating every traveller as eligible for the online route without checking the qualifying visa
• Posting or couriering documents instead of submitting at the counter
• Company registration certificate that is a GST document rather than the government registration
• Bank statements without the bank’s original stamp
• Invitation that does not state purpose and the applicant’s details
