website and following the instructions for applying. Applicants who do not have
access to the internet should apply through any authorised travel or visa agent
who can handle their application on their behalf. The Taipei Visa Application
Centre has one computer with printer (free of charge) which applicants can use
to submit their applications. This is on a first come, first served basis and
applicants may have a long wait until the computer becomes available,
particularly during the peak summer season (June-July). Applicants can also get
their Applications filled up by one of our staff for a nominal charge at both
our Application Centres.
Unfortunately, individuals applying for visas to enter a United Kingdom
Overseas Territory or Commonwealth Country cannot take advantage of
e-applications and must still apply in person.
