Taiwan (Chinese Taipei) to Kyrgyzstan visa requirements

Taiwan ordinary passport holders need an e-Visa to visit Kyrgyzstan. There is no visa-free or visa-on-arrival channel for Taiwan, but the tourist e-Visa is applied for entirely online at the official portal evisa.e-gov.kg, with no invitation letter required. As of 2026, Taiwan (TW) ordinary passport holders are NOT on Kyrgyzstan's visa-exemption or visa-on-arrival list, so a visa is required before travel. However, Kyrgyzstan operates an electronic visa system open to citizens and travel-document holders of effectively all countries and territories, including Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau. Taiwanese tourists therefore apply online for a single-entry tourist e-Visa (category TS) through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs portal at evisa.e-gov.kg. No Letter of Invitation is needed for the standard tourist e-Visa. The tourist e-Visa permits a stay of up to 30 calendar days and is normally processed within about 3 business days; the consular fee is roughly USD 40-50 depending on category and duration, paid online by Visa/MasterCard. Travellers should apply at least two weeks before departure, ensure the passport is valid for at least 6 months with a blank page, and carry a printed copy of the approved e-Visa. The e-Visa is valid for entry at Manas (Bishkek) and Osh international airports and designated land border crossings. Because Taiwan has no visa-waiver agreement with Kyrgyzstan and is absent from the exemption list, the conservative and accurate verdict is e-Visa (a visa is required, obtained electronically).
