Poland to Taiwan (Chinese Taipei) visa requirements

Q: How long can I stay in Taiwan without a visa?

Up to 90 days per entry. This visa-exempt period is generally non-extendable, so plan to leave before it ends.

Q: Do I need to fill in an arrival card for Taiwan?

Yes. Since 1 October 2025 all travellers, including visa-exempt visitors, must complete the free Taiwan Arrival Card (TWAC) online at twac.immigration.gov.tw within three days before arrival.

Q: How long must my passport be valid?

Your Polish passport must have at least six months' validity remaining from your date of entry into Taiwan.

Q: Does the Schengen 90/180 rule or ETIAS apply to Taiwan?

No. Taiwan is not in the Schengen area and runs its own immigration policy. ETIAS applies to Taiwanese nationals travelling to Europe, not to Polish citizens entering Taiwan.

Q: Can I extend my stay or work in Taiwan on visa exemption?

No. The 90-day visa-exempt stay cannot normally be extended, and working or studying requires an appropriate visa obtained in advance.

Polish ordinary passport holders can enter Taiwan visa-free for tourism for up to 90 days. No visa or pre-approval is required, but you must complete the free online Taiwan Arrival Card (TWAC) within 3 days before arrival. Poland is on Taiwan's visa-exemption list, so Polish citizens holding an ordinary passport may visit Taiwan for tourism, business, family visits, or transit for up to 90 days without obtaining a visa in advance. Taiwan is not part of the Schengen area and operates its own independent immigration policy, so the EU Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply to entry into Taiwan (ETIAS concerns Taiwanese nationals travelling to Europe, not the reverse). Entry conditions are straightforward: a passport with at least six months' remaining validity from the date of entry, a confirmed onward or return ticket, and proof of sufficient funds. Since 1 October 2025, all inbound travellers - including visa-exempt visitors - must complete the digital Taiwan Arrival Card (TWAC) online; this is free and replaces the old paper card. The 90-day visa-exempt stay cannot normally be extended. This information was verified on 2026-05-30 against Taiwan's Bureau of Consular Affairs and National Immigration Agency.
