Foreign Visitors to Taiwan are Welcome to Use Online Arrival Cards and Enjoy Immigration Efficiency

Starting from 1st July 2015, the National Immigration Agency (NIA) has opened Online Arrival Card for foreign visitors to the Republic of China (Taiwan). This measure streamlines the immigration process for foreign visitors.

Immigration authorities around the world have used online arrival cards in place of traditional paper forms in recent years. For instance, the U.S. cancelled paper Form I-94 Arrival/Departure Record. Following this border management trend, the NIA plans to implement Online Arrival Card next month (please refer to the following table for those who are qualified). Qualified users only need to offer their arrival information at NIA website before arriving in Taiwan, and paper Arrival Card will not be needed during the inspection process.

For further information, please visit the NIA website at http://www.immigration.gov.tw or scan the QR Code.
