Taiwan visa options for Vietnam citizensFee and processing time not published — confirm with the embassy or consulate before you apply.
Vietnam citizens do not need a full visa for Taiwan, but they must obtain an electronic travel authorisation (eTA) online before they fly — valid for stays of up to 14 days. An eTA is linked to your passport number and is usually approved within minutes to a few days; airlines check it at check-in, so apply before you book non-refundable travel.
The main option is the Travel Authorization Certificate (TAC).
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. Vietnam citizens are treated the same way as India, Indonesia, Laos and Myanmar. Overall the Vietnam passport ranks #160 in the world with 24 visa-free destinations.
Planning a longer trip in Asia? With a Vietnam passport you can also visit 13 countries in the region without a visa, including Brunei, Indonesia, Iran, Kyrgyzstan, Cambodia, Kazakhstan, Laos and Myanmar.
In the other direction, Taiwan citizens need evisa to visit Vietnam.
