🇹🇼 Taiwan visa requirements for Vietnamese citizens
Vietnamese citizens need an electronic travel authorization (eTA) for Taiwan — a quick online approval, not a full visa.
Entry rules for Vietnam passport holders
Taiwan requires Vietnamese visitors to register online for an electronic travel authorization before departure. An eTA is lighter than a visa — approval is usually issued within minutes to hours — but airlines will deny boarding without it, so complete it before heading to the airport.
Entry rules can change at short notice. Always confirm current requirements with the official Taiwan immigration authority or your nearest embassy before booking.
