Brazil to Taiwan (Chinese Taipei) visa requirements

Brazilian ordinary passport holders need a visa to visit Taiwan. Brazil is not on Taiwan's visa-exempt list, is not eligible for the standard direct eVisa for tourism, and is not covered by Taiwan's landing-visa scheme. Apply for a visitor visa in advance through the BOCA online form and the competent Taipei Economic and Cultural Office (ROC overseas mission) before traveling. As of 21 June 2026, Taiwan's Bureau of Consular Affairs (BOCA) does not list Brazil among the countries eligible for visa-exempt entry. Brazil is also absent from BOCA's standard direct eVisa nationality list for ordinary tourism, although sponsor-issued Ecode event categories can make some otherwise ineligible foreign nationals eligible for eVisa in narrow cases. Taiwan's landing visa is limited to emergency or temporary passport holders from visa-exempt countries, so it does not cover Brazilian ordinary passport holders. A Brazilian tourist must therefore obtain a visitor visa in advance from a Taiwan overseas mission (Taipei Economic and Cultural Office) after completing the BOCA online application. The standard overseas visitor-visa fee is US$50 for single entry or US$100 for multiple entry. Visitor visas are generally valid for entry from 3 months up to 1 year, and the permitted stay is printed on the visa as 14, 30, 60, or 90 days. Passports must be valid for at least 6 months and have blank pages. Aggregator sites that claim Brazilians can enter Taiwan visa-free conflict with the official BOCA lists; do not rely on them.

High
/03
