Travel ease on horizon? Taiwan mulls visa-on-arrival for Indians

The Taiwanese government is considering extending visa-on-arrival for Indians, Taiwan Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Chung Kwang Tien said on Tuesday.

Highlighting high frequency of travel by Indian nationals, Taiwan Deputy Foreign Minister, Tien Chung-kwang said, "...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.

We have been proposed to have a visa-on-arrival. We are giving a very serious consideration.


Reportedly, there are more than 3,000 Indian students currently studying in Taiwan.

If approved, this arrangement would streamline travel to the Southeast Asian country, offering hassle-free convenience for Indian citizens.

Previously, Thailand granted visa-free travel for Indians until November, while Malaysia's arrangement extends until December.
