Every traveller entering Taiwan needs this document, whatever their visa status. Fill it in online with Arrival Card Hub before you fly and arrive with it ready.
The Taiwan Arrival Card (TWAC) is a mandatory online arrival form required by certain travelers entering Taiwan. Managed by the National Immigration Agency (NIA), it replaces the traditional paper-based arrival card that travelers previously completed at the border.
Before you arrive in Taiwan, you'll submit key personal, passport, travel, and accommodation details through the official online platform: making the immigration process faster and more efficient for everyone.
Important: The TWAC is not a visa. It does not replace any existing visa, eVisa, or entry permit requirements. If you need a visa to enter Taiwan, you must still obtain the correct travel authorization separately.

No. The Taiwan Arrival Card is an online arrival form used for immigration clearance only. It is not a visa, eVisa, or entry permit, and completing it does not guarantee entry into Taiwan. Immigration officers make the final entry decision at the border.
Before starting, have your valid passport, flight details, and Taiwan accommodation information ready. This will make the process quick and straightforward.
Access the official Taiwan Arrival Card submission platform managed by the National Immigration Agency. The form is available in multiple languages, including English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, and Indonesian.
Fill in your passport details, travel information, and accommodation details. You may upload a passport data page image to auto-fill some fields. Double-check all entries carefully before proceeding.
Once you've reviewed your information, submit the form. You'll receive a confirmation email to your registered email address: keep this accessible in case you need to review or update your submission before arrival.
After submitting your TWAC, the system will send a confirmation email to your registered email address. You do not normally need to present this confirmation during immigration inspection: officers can retrieve your TWAC data by scanning your passport. That said, keep the email accessible in case you need to check or update your details.
If your flight details or accommodation change after submission, you can review and edit your TWAC online before arrival. This is one of the key advantages of the digital system over the old paper-based card.
Traveling with family or as part of a group? The TWAC system supports group submissions. One person can complete forms for up to 16 individuals at a time: ideal for families, tour groups, and business travelers.
No. Completing the Taiwan Arrival Card is one part of the entry process, but it does not guarantee entry. At the border, immigration officers may ask to see your valid passport, visa or visa-exempt eligibility, a confirmed return or onward ticket, and supporting accommodation documents. Make sure your passport is valid for at least 6 months from your entry date and that you meet all other entry requirements.
