Taiwan VISA from Hong Kong
Hi,
Could you tell me a bit about the visa policy for Taiwan? i.e. -
1. Do Israelis entering Taiwan need a visa?
2. If the answer to #1 is affirmative, can it be issued in Hong Kong?
3. What requirements are there for entry as a tourist? Do I need an outbound flight ticket? A bank statement?
4. Anything else I may have forgot to ask....
Thanks,
O

Getting your Taiwan VISA in HK
1. Israelis need VISA.
2. Yeah, there's one in HK, they can issue a VISA within an hour or two, if you're willing to pay the extra bucks (which is what I did on my VISA run a few years back):

3. I think you will need a ticket leaving Taiwan, they're really strict about potential illegal English teachers lately. HK is especially famous for being strict, so having a bank statement could help. I suggest you bring what ever you can that might show evidence that you're not going to stay and work.
4. Nothing comes to mind, let me know if you need anything else .

Visa to China, applied from Taiwan
Hello to everyone. This is my first time here. Wondering if anyone would know if a German (now traveling to Taiwan) could apply for touristic visa to HK and mainland China here?
Thanks a million for your time.

Visa to HK and China from Taiwan
As far as I know, you don't really need a VISA to HK, and you can get your China VISA in HK. I heard there are some travel agencies in Taiwan that have branches in HK that might do this whole service for you from Taiwan.

Some travel agencies will
Some travel agencies will courier your passport to Hong Kong but that's just going to add to your costs. You will probably need to go through Hong Kong anyway if you are heading to China from Taiwan so your best bet is to pick up your visa there. HK is generally the easiest place to get the China visa, I got mine within 24hours. It's worth keeping in mind however that current policy is to insist on an onward ticket and confirmed hotel bookings before the visa is issued.
Indonesian need student visa
Hi guys,
I'm Indonesian but currently in China. I'm going to Taiwan to study next month and I was thinking of go directly from Hong Kong to Taiwan. I've asked HK office and they say it is not possible to get student visa in HK cause I'm Indonesian, but it is possible to get a visitor visa. So, is it possible to change my visitor visa to student visa in Taiwan?
Thanks for your help

Changing to student VISA
I've done the same thing when I got here. Got here on an extendable tourist VISA with letters indicating that I'm a student, and so changing to resident VISA and then to ARC was a breeze. If you don't have those letters on your VISA application, what you need to make sure is that when you apply for the VISA you tell them this is what you're planning to do so that the VISA status would be changeable. Supporting documents from your university might help. especially a letter from the university you're going to.
I think that when it comes to a visitor's VISA this means it's extendable (don't have "no extensions" mark) and that you get enough time for you to complete the procedure (pay the school, get receipt, go the government office nearby and do the procedure).
Good luck, would be nice if you'd tell us how it ended up for you when you're through.

do US citizen visa to travel/stay in Taiwan for 2 months?
Hi,
Please advise me if I need to get any sort of VISA to travel to TAIWAN and stay there for 2 months?
Also, is that including the 19 month old kid?
Thanks I appreciate your reply asap!
Two months stay in Taiwan requires a VISA
You may not need a VISA for up to 30 days, but for 2 months you would need a visitor's VISA.

TW visa for US citizen
Thanks for your help!
Where can we obtain our visas? Do we need to get it done in the US before we travel or we can do it when we are in TW?
And possibly how much are they gonna cost?
Thanks again!
Check with the Taiwanese representation near your home
The last link I gave you last time includes the rates for the different VISA and any other information you may need.
You'll need a VISA before entering Taiwan. If you arrive in Taiwan without a VISA you'll probably only be granted a 30 days nonextensible VISA.

do Indonesian living in China need visa to go to Taiwan?
My friend has wedding on October in Taiwan, thinking to give him congrats by attending his wedding. Wondering if I can go directly to Taiwan or do I need to apply visa first. Seems there's no Taiwan embassy in Shanghai (where I live)
How to apply visa if I need it?
Where to apply it?
How is the best scene that I can do it if I only have a week in total (including attending the wedding)?
Yes, you will need a visa.
Yes, you will need a visa. You can apply for it in Hong Kong. You could also make inquiries about whether a travel agent in Shanghai can arrange the visa for you, but I am not sure if it is possible or not.
