Egypt to Taiwan (Chinese Taipei) visa requirements

Egyptian ordinary passport holders need a visitor visa before traveling to Taiwan. Egypt is not on Taiwan's visa-exempt list and is not eligible for the eVisa, so apply at the nearest Taipei Economic and Cultural Office (TECO). Egypt is neither a visa-exempt country for Taiwan nor on the list of nationalities eligible for Taiwan's eVisa. An Egyptian ordinary passport holder must obtain a paper visitor visa from a Taipei Economic and Cultural Office (TECO) before departure. The single-entry visitor visa costs USD 50 and permits a stay of 14, 30, 60 or 90 days (chosen at application), with visa validity running from 3 months up to 1 year. Egypt does not host a Taiwan representative office, so applications are handled by the TECO with regional jurisdiction (for example in Saudi Arabia or Jordan), which affects logistics and timing. Apply well in advance; processing typically takes 7-10 business days and requires proof of onward travel, accommodation and sufficient funds.
