A visa is not required by UK nationals for visits of less than 14 days. However, please note that passports must be valid for at least six months from the date of return travel. Failure to comply will result in refusal of entry.
If you do not hold a UK passport or should you require a visa for a period longer than 14 days or a multiple entry visa, please contact the Taipei Representative Office. Further information regarding visa requirements and application.

Carnets can be issued for the following categories of goods:
- Commercial Samples and Advertising Film
- Goods for International Exhibition
- Professional Equipment (includes theatrical effects such as musical instruments, sound and lighting equipment, costumes, scenery and other stage properties)
