IMPACT – MEDIUM
What is the change? Taiwan has added nine countries to its electronic visa program.
What does the change mean? Nationals of the following countries may apply for visitor visas online: Bahrain, Dominica, Kuwait, Montenegro, Oman, the Philippines (for a one-year trial period), Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
Background: Taiwan introduced its eVisa program last year to nationals of 27 countries. eVisas are appropriate for business visitors, tourists and those visiting family members or attending a conference, trade show or other event sponsored by the Taiwanese government or nongovernmental organizations. Work permits are still required for engaging in productive employment.
BAL Analysis: The expansion of Taiwan’s eVisa program will benefit additional nationals visiting as tourists or for certain business purposes.
