What the Taiwan visa rules mean for Mauritius travellers

Mauritius passport holders need an eVisa to enter Taiwan. You apply online, upload a passport scan and a photo, pay the fee and receive the visa by email; it allows stays of up to 30 days. Apply at least one to two weeks before your trip and print the approval — some airlines and border officers ask to see it on paper.

The main option is the eVisa, which costs 1,600 TWD.

Documents to prepare

Whatever your visa status, Taiwan applies the same entry conditions to every traveller:

  • Passport validity: BOCA says visa-exempt entry requires a passport with remaining validity of at least six months as of the date of entry, and that US and Japanese nationals need a passport valid for the intended period of stay.
  • Vaccinations: Polio: BOCA says applicants for Taiwan (ROC) visas who have resided in or visited Afghanistan, Pakistan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Djibouti, Cameroon, Chad, Laos or South Sudan for four weeks or more within the pas…
  • Travel insurance: No official source we could read states a travel insurance requirement for Taiwan. The UK government advises appropriate travel insurance for local treatment or unexpected medical evacuation.
  • Return or onward ticket: BOCA says visa-exempt entry requires a confirmed return air or sea ticket, or a ticket and a visa for the next destination, and a confirmed seat reservation for the departure flight.
