Argentina to Taiwan (Chinese Taipei) visa requirements

Argentine ordinary passport holders need a visa to visit Taiwan for tourism. Argentina is not on Taiwan's visa-exempt list and is not eligible for the Taiwan eVisa, so you must apply in advance for a paper Visitor (tourist) visa at the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office (TECO) in Buenos Aires before you travel. As of 30 May 2026, Taiwan (Republic of China) does not grant visa-free entry to Argentine nationals, nor does it list Argentina among the countries eligible for its online eVisa. Both facts are confirmed by Taiwan's Bureau of Consular Affairs (BOCA): Argentina appears on neither the visa-exempt entry list nor the eVisa eligibility list. Accordingly, an Argentine ordinary passport holder traveling for tourism must obtain a Visitor (tourist) visa in advance from a Taiwan representative office abroad — for residents of Argentina this is the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office (TECO) in Buenos Aires, since Taiwan and Argentina do not maintain formal diplomatic relations. The Visitor visa is typically issued single-entry, valid for 3 months from issuance, with a duration of stay of 60 days (or up to 90 days), and stays of 60/90 days marked without a "no extension" notation can be extended within Taiwan at a National Immigration Agency service center. The standard single-entry Visitor visa fee is USD 50 (multiple-entry USD 100), though reciprocal fee adjustments can apply by nationality, so confirm with TECO Buenos Aires. Applicants generally submit the online application form (printed and signed), a passport valid at least 6 months with blank pages, photos, proof of funds, and confirmed onward/return travel and accommodation. There is no visa-on-arrival or landing-visa channel for Argentine nationals for general tourism. Travelers should apply several weeks before departure and verify current requirements directly with TECO Buenos Aires, as fees and stay lengths can change.
