All travellers entering Taiwan are advised to complete and submit the Taiwan Arrival Card form online, free of charge, within three days prior to arrival.

Taiwan's National Immigration Agency (NIA) has announced the implementation of the Mandatory Online Arrival Registration, replacing all traditional paper-based Arrival Cards starting 1 October 2025.

All inbound travellers will be required to complete and submit the Taiwan Arrival Card (TWAC) form online, free of charge, within three days prior to arrival, via the NIA’s official website.

Who needs to submit the TWAC?

• Foreign nationals without an Alien Resident Certificate, a Resident Visa, or a Diplomatic ID card.
• People of Hong Kong and Macao holding Multiple Entry & Exit Permits.
• People of the Mainland Area holding Multiple Entry & Exit Permits for the purpose of travel.
• Nationals without household registration without residence certificates of Taiwan Area.

Travellers may fill out the form in either Chinese or English, with guidance available in seven languages – Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, and Indonesian. To streamline the process, travellers can upload a snapshot of their passport's biographic page. The TWAC system will extract data automatically.

On the other hand, for families and group travellers, one person may fill out the forms for up to 16 individuals. Submissions can be reviewed or modified online at any time before arrival.

Email verification is mandatory, and a confirmation email will be sent upon successful registration. At immigration checkpoints, pre-submitted data can be retrieved by scanning the traveller’s passport, enhancing both the speed and accuracy of immigration clearance.

Travellers who have not registered in advance may still scan the TWAC QR code and submit the TAWC form at check-in counters at airports and seaports upon arrival.
