What the Taiwan TWAC is, in 30 seconds

The Taiwan TWAC (Arrival Card) is Taiwan's official digital arrival card, a visa-free entry requirement for travelers entering the country. Complete your Taiwan TWAC online before departure. Your record is electronically linked to your passport, ready for immigration.

What you'll need

Valid passport details, valid email address, occupation and phone number, and travel details and accommodation information in Taiwan.

Processing time
Usually instant. Your record is electronically linked to your passport immediately after submission.
Validity
Valid for the specific arrival details submitted in the form.
Entries
Single entry. Submit a new TWAC for each separate entry into Taiwan.
At the border
Present your passport at immigration. The officer scans it to retrieve your TWAC record electronically; keep your confirmation email as backup.

Four steps, and you know all four

Most services show you three. The fourth one is real, so here it is.

  1. 01

    Your trip

    When you arrive and leave, and where to email the TWAC.

  2. 02

    Your travelers

    Passport details for everyone traveling. Photograph the passport page and we fill it in for you.

  3. 03

    Review and pay

    Choose your review speed. Every line itemized before you pay a cent.

  4. 04

    After payment

    Arrival details

    After payment

    Airline, flight number and your address in Taiwan. About 2 minutes, once your payment clears.

What it costs

The application is $99.99 per traveler, charged for at most 2 travelers. That covers a 2 hours review by a person. Faster review is optional, priced below, and never pre-selected.

  • Service fee

    $99.99

    per traveler, and never for more than 2. A party of 4 pays the same service fee as a party of 2.

  • Government fee

    None

    Taiwan charges nothing for the TWAC, so the service fee is the whole bill.

  • Review and submission

    2 hours

    Included in the price. A person checks every answer, then submits it. If Taiwan is not accepting submissions for your dates yet, we submit within that time of its window opening, and checkout shows you the date before you pay.

2 travelers is $99.99 × 2 = $199.98, and so is 4: the service fee stops at 2 travelers and Taiwan charges nothing on top. Faster review is optional and priced below. Every line is itemized before you pay.

Review and submission speed

Every application is checked by a person before it is submitted. Standard is included in the price above. Two faster options are available at checkout, and neither is pre-selected.

  • Standard

    2 hours

    Included in the price above

  • Fast

    1 hour

    +$10.00 per application

  • Ultra Fast

    15 minutes

    +$20.00 per application

Times are counted from the moment we can submit, not from payment. If Taiwan is not accepting the TWAC for your dates yet, we hold the application and start the clock when its window opens; checkout shows you that date before you pay. Speeds move your application up our review queue; they do not change how fast the government processes it once submitted, and they are not a guarantee of approval.

What $99.99 adds

Someone else carries it

  • An AI checks every answer against Taiwan's rules, then a person reviews it before it goes in.
  • Apply today, whenever your trip is. We submit on the day the window opens.
  • If Taiwan's portal is down or rejects the submission, we keep trying until it goes through.
  • Passport scanning, real-time validation, and a human on chat if it snags.
  • A family of four is one form and one review, not four attempts.

Doing it yourself

twac.immigration.gov.tw (free)

  • The official portal, in your own time. It works.
  • The portal goes down for maintenance and times your session out. Every retry is yours to make.
  • You have to remember the day the window opens, and count back from your arrival yourself.
  • A typo in a passport number is yours to catch, and to fix at the airport.
  • Every traveler entered separately, from scratch, with nobody to ask when a field is unclear.

Who needs one

Every foreign national entering Taiwan, whatever your passport. Find yours below.

The questions people actually ask

Yes. The official portal is twac.immigration.gov.tw and it costs nothing. We are a paid service: we fill the form in with you, check it against Taiwan's rules, submit it on the day the window opens, and keep a human on chat if anything snags. If you would rather do that yourself, do. The link is on this page.
