New Zealand citizens can enter Taiwan without a visa and stay for up to 90 days. You only need a valid New Zealand passport at the border; immigration officers may still ask for a return or onward ticket, proof of accommodation and enough money for your stay. The 90-day limit usually counts calendar days from your arrival, so book your return flight inside that window.
Whatever your visa status, Taiwan applies the same entry conditions to every traveller:
Taiwan lets 65 passports in without a visa, issues eVisas to 21 and requires an embassy visa from 107. New Zealand citizens are treated the same way as Australia, Marshall Islands, Palau and Tuvalu. Overall the New Zealand passport ranks #38 in the world with 115 visa-free destinations.
Planning a longer trip in Asia? With a New Zealand passport you can also visit 18 countries in the region without a visa, including Brunei, China, Hong Kong, Japan, Kyrgyzstan, South Korea, Kazakhstan and Mongolia.
In the other direction, Taiwan citizens need eta to visit New Zealand.
