Step-by-Step Application Process

Verify Your Premium Eligibility

Check if you hold a valid or recently expired visa or resident card from a designated country (such as the US, Canada, Schengen Area, UK, Japan, Korea, Australia, or New Zealand) to qualify for the instant, visa-free Travel Authorization Certificate (TAC).

Apply Online

If eligible, apply for the TAC online; approval is usually instantaneous. Alternatively, if applying for a standard E-Visa or paper Tourist Visa, submit your comprehensive dossier, including premium itinerary and financial proofs, through the official portal or Taipei Economic and Cultural Center (TECC).

Receive Authorization and Travel

Print your approved TAC or E-Visa. Upon arrival at Taoyuan International Airport, present your printed authorization, valid Indian passport, and the qualifying premium visa (if using the TAC) to immigration for a seamless entry.

Required Documents

—Valid Indian passport (must remain valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended date of arrival)
—For the TAC: A valid or expired (less than 10 years prior) visa or resident certificate from a designated premium country (e.g., US, UK, Schengen, Japan)
—For standard E-Visa/Visa: Completed application form and recent passport-sized photograph
—Confirmed return or onward flight tickets
—Proof of premium accommodation (confirmed reservations at luxury hotels such as the Mandarin Oriental, Taipei or The Lalu at Sun Moon Lake)
—Robust proof of financial means (recent bank statements) for standard visa applications

Important Tips

•The Travel Authorization Certificate (TAC) is by far the most efficient and elegant entry method. Ensure you bring the physical premium visa (e.g., your US visa) used to qualify for the TAC, even if it is in an old, expired passport.
•If applying for a standard Tourist Visa through the TECC, ensure your itinerary clearly reflects a high-end tourism purpose with well-documented luxury travel plans.
•Maximize your comfort by arranging VIP airport concierge services and a private, chauffeured transfer from Taoyuan Airport to your luxury accommodation.
•Book exclusive experiences, such as private culinary tours in Taipei or guided excursions to Sun Moon Lake, well in advance through a reputable luxury tour operator.

Easiest Way to Get It

Guarantee a flawless visa authorization process and an unforgettable Taiwanese tour by utilizing the services of a premium East Asian travel concierge. They will seamlessly determine your eligibility for the TAC or manage your visa application, secure the most coveted luxury hotel suites, and orchestrate an exclusive itinerary featuring private Michelin-starred dining experiences and high-speed rail VIP arrangements.

Visa rules can change. Always verify with the official embassy.
