🇹🇼Taiwan (Chinese Taipei)🇧🇯BeninTW-BJ Taiwan (Chinese Taipei) to Benin visa requirements
Taiwan ordinary passport holders need an eVisa for Benin. Apply online before travel at the official government portal (evisa.bj, formerly evisa.gouv.bj); there is no visa-free or visa-on-arrival channel. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory. Benin requires Taiwan (TW) ordinary passport holders to obtain an electronic visa (eVisa) before arrival for tourism or short visits. The eVisa is issued exclusively through Benin's official government platform at evisa.bj (the evisa.gouv.bj address redirects there) operated by the Direction de l'Emigration et de l'Immigration. Three eVisa products exist: a 30-day single-entry, a 30-day multiple-entry, and a 90-day multiple-entry. Applications must be submitted online (recommended at least 7 days, and no more than 90 days, before the intended date of entry); approval typically takes 24 to 72 hours, and the approved eVisa is delivered by email to be printed and shown at the border. Benin no longer issues visas on arrival at the airport or land/sea borders, so the eVisa must be secured in advance. A valid passport with at least six months of validity beyond arrival and a valid International Certificate of Vaccination against Yellow Fever are strictly required for entry. Benin is in West Africa and is not part of the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply. Conservatively, the correct verdict for a Taiwan tourist is eVisa: there is no confirmed no-visa channel.
