Planning to travel to Taiwan from Bangalore? Indian passport holders cannot apply for a standard tourist eVisa. Travellers who hold a valid visa or residence permit from the US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea or a Schengen country (valid, or expired within the last 10 years) can apply for a free online Travel Authorization Certificate (TAC). Everyone else applies for a Taiwan visitor visa through the Taipei Economic and Cultural Center (TECC). This page explains the visa information, documents required, the application process, fees, processing time, and how to avoid rejection, and how DocuPro can help you apply from Bangalore.
