The eligibility criteria for online visa applications by nationals from Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam will be eased starting June 1, 2017. People who have been issued with an ROC visa (visas with remarks “FL” , “T”, “X” or “N” are excluded) or Alien Resident Certificate (purpose of residence can’t be “Foreign Labor”) over the last 10 years, and who have no record of violating ROC law, may apply for a multiple entry visa using the Online Application for ROC (Taiwan) Travel Authorization Certificate (https://niaspeedy.immigration.gov.tw/nia_southeast) run by the National Immigration Agency.

Nationals of Philippines (effective till July 31, 2024), except those holding diplomatic or official/service passports, are eligible for the visa exemption program, with a duration of stay of up to 14 days.
