Taiwan Arrival Card (TWAC) — Online Entry Registration for Taiwan

Starting from October 1, 2025, Taiwan has fully introduced the online Taiwan Arrival Card (TWAC). Foreign travelers who are required to complete the TWAC must submit it online before entering Taiwan. The paper arrival card is no longer used.

Whether you are traveling to Taiwan for tourism, visiting family, or short-term business activities, you should check your passport, visa, or other entry permit before departure. You should also make sure that you have completed the TWAC online registration if required. If the TWAC is not completed in advance, it may affect the entry process or cause longer waiting times upon arrival.

  1. What Is the Taiwan Arrival Card (TWAC)?

    (1)
    The Taiwan Arrival Card (TWAC) is Taiwan’s official entry registration form used to collect basic arrival information for immigration purposes.

    (2)
    Travelers who are required to complete the TWAC should submit it online for free through the official website within seven (7) days before arriving in Taiwan.

    (3)
    The information required mainly includes personal details, passport or travel document information, flight or ship information, and your accommodation and contact address in Taiwan.

    (4)
    After submission, the information will be provided to the National Immigration Agency for immigration inspection upon arrival.

  3. How to Complete and Use the TWAC?

    (2)
    For families or groups traveling together, one person may also help complete the TWAC for other travelers in the same group, making the process easier.

    After the TWAC is submitted, a PDF confirmation will be sent to the email address provided. Travelers can show the PDF at immigration upon arrival.

  4. Kaizen Reminder

    The TWAC is an important part of Taiwan’s entry process. However, completing the TWAC does not mean that you are automatically permitted to enter Taiwan. Travelers should still check whether they need to obtain a Taiwan visa, entry permit, or other required documents based on their nationality, status, and purpose of travel.

    Before traveling to Taiwan, we recommend checking the entry requirements in advance and completing the TWAC within the required time to avoid delays during immigration inspection upon arrival.
