As per the latest reports, Taiwan is considering extending visa-on-arrival for Indian citizens, in a move that could likely streamline travel for Indian nationals to the island nation.
Referring to this, Taiwan Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Chung Kwang Tien recently highlighted the high frequency of travel by Indian nationals to Taiwan. Also, as per the records, more than 3,000 Indian students are currently studying in the country. This potential visa-on-arrival arrangement would further make it easier for Indian citizens to visit Taiwan for tourism, business, and education purposes.
If approved, the visa-on-arrival arrangement would be a welcome development for Indian travellers looking to explore Taiwan’s vibrant culture, stunning landscapes, and bustling cities. Currently, Indian citizens are required to obtain a visa before travelling to Taiwan, which can be a time-consuming and cumbersome process. By offering visa-on-arrival, Taiwan would not only attract more Indian tourists, but will also facilitate easier travel for Indian students studying in the country.
In a promising development for Indian travellers, Taiwan is actively considering the implementation of visa-on-arrival (VoA) for Indian citizens.
Deputy Foreign Minister of Taiwan, Tien Chung-kwang expressed this intention, highlighting India’s significant outbound travel and the potential benefits of easing visa procedures.
Speaking to reporters in Taipei on Tuesday, he acknowledged the proposal and emphasised the necessity of internal discussions with Taiwan’s Immigration Department before any formal decision can be made. He underscored the collaborative nature of such a policy change, indicating that it cannot be enacted single-handedly by the government.
“Indian citizens travel a lot…We are considering this (visa-on-arrival). We are going to talk with the Immigration Department. The Government can’t single-handedly (do it), we have to discuss internally,” he said.
