Step-by-Step Application Process

1

Check eligible entry points

Visa-on-arrival is normally limited to international airports and a few land borders in Taiwan; verify your specific entry point qualifies before booking flights.

2

Bring the required cash and documents

Most VoA counters accept USD or EUR cash only and reject cards for the visa fee. Carry exact small denominations, a passport photo and your printed return itinerary.

3

Apply at the visa counter on arrival

Hand in your passport, photo, completed arrival card and fee at the dedicated visa-on-arrival desk before joining the regular immigration queue. Processing is normally 15–30 minutes.

Required Documents

  • β€”Passport from Macao valid at least 6 months beyond entry
  • β€”Visa-on-arrival fee in USD or EUR cash (small denominations)
  • β€”One recent passport-style colour photo
  • β€”Confirmed return or onward flight ticket
  • β€”Hotel reservation or invitation letter from a host
  • β€”Proof of sufficient funds for the duration of stay
  • β€”Completed arrival/landing card (handed out on the plane)

Important Tips

  • β€’Carry the exact fee in small bills β€” counters rarely give change in the visa currency.
  • β€’Pre-fill the arrival card on the plane to avoid queueing twice at the counter.
  • β€’Check the maximum stay granted at the border; extensions usually require leaving and re-entering.
  • β€’Some Taiwan airports have an electronic VoA pre-form online β€” completing it shaves 10+ minutes off the queue.

Easiest Way to Get It

Pre-fill any online arrival form, carry the visa fee in clean USD bills and a passport photo, and use the visa-on-arrival lane straight off the plane.

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