Visa & Entry

Thai passport holders enter Taiwan visa-free for up to 14 days under a trial visa exemption program extended through July 31, 2026. No advance application is needed. Passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond the date of entry. You need a return or onward ticket, proof of accommodation, and evidence of sufficient funds (credit card statement or cash equivalent to $1,000). At Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (TPE), immigration stamps you in after checking these documents.

The 14-day visa-free stay cannot be extended. For stays beyond 14 days, apply for a visitor visa at the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Bangkok before departure. The visitor visa costs TWD 2,200 (about THB 2,500) for a single entry valid for 60 days. Taiwan periodically reviews and renews the visa-free trial for Thai nationals, so confirm the program status before booking if traveling close to the July 2026 expiry date.

Direct flights from Bangkok Suvarnabhumi (BKK) to Taipei Taoyuan run about 3 hours 45 minutes on China Airlines, EVA Air, Thai Airways, and Thai AirAsia X. Taiwan uses the New Taiwan dollar (TWD), trading at roughly 1.1 TWD per THB 1 (or about 0.9 THB per TWD 1). EasyCard works on Taipei's MRT, buses, YouBike, and convenience stores at TWD 20 to TWD 65 per MRT trip. Night markets are the food highlight: dishes cost TWD 50 to TWD 150 (THB 45 to THB 136). 7-Eleven and FamilyMart are on every block and accept EasyCard for payments.
