Has anyone traveled to Taiwan (ROC) on Travel Authorization Certificate (not Visa)?

score:4

Accepted answer

The Taiwan Travel Authorization Certificate is documented in Timatic, the system which airlines use to verify that passengers have the correct travel documents.

This is what Timatic currently says:

Visa required, except for A max. stay of 30 days (not applicable to holders of Emergency or Temporary Passports) for nationals of India holding a Travel Authorization Certificate (obtained via https://oa1.immigration.gov.tw/nia_southeast/).

  • Applicable to holders of a permanent Residence Permit issued by Japan;
  • applicable to holders of a valid resident or visitor visa (incl. electronic) issued by Australia, Canada, Ireland (Rep.), Japan, Korea (Rep.), New Zealand, USA, United Kingdom or a Schengen Member State. Those who hold a work permit are not eligible. Resident card or visa that has expired less than 10 years prior to the date of arrival can still be used for entry.

I cannot tell what it said five months ago. But today it is valid if you have a permanent residence permit, residence permit or visa issued by Japan. Your friend should not be denied boarding today in similar circumstances.
