Do Brazil passport holders need a visa to visit Taiwan?

Brazilian ordinary passport holders need a visa to visit Taiwan. Brazil is not on Taiwan's visa-exempt list, not eligible for the eVisa, and not covered by landing/visa-on-arrival. You must apply for a single-entry visitor visa in advance at a Taipei Economic and Cultural Office (ROC overseas mission) before traveling. As of 30 May 2026, Taiwan's Bureau of Consular Affairs (BOCA) does NOT list Brazil among the countries eligible for visa-exempt entry, nor among the 19 nationalities eligible for the Taiwan eVisa, nor for landing/visa-on-arrival. A Brazil ordinary passport holder traveling for tourism must therefore obtain a paper visitor visa in advance from a Taiwan overseas mission (Taipei Economic and Cultural Office), typically the one accredited to Brazil. The standard tourist document is a single-entry visitor visa (US$50), normally valid for entry within 3 months of issue and permitting a duration of stay of up to 60 days (14/30/60/90-day options exist). Passports should have at least 6 months of remaining validity. Aggregator sites that claim Brazilians can enter Taiwan visa-free are inaccurate and conflict with the official BOCA lists — do not rely on them. Apply well ahead of travel, as the visa must be issued before departure.
