Q：Does online visa application form mean that I am officially applying for Taiwan visa? Do I still need to go to embassy in person even I have already fill my visa application form online?

A：This form (https://visawebapp.boca.gov.tw/) doesn’t mean you officially applying for Taiwan visa. It only means Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Taiwan has your information in database. You still need to print out the result paper and bring it with all requirement docu-mentations to Embassy/Representative Office/ Taipei economic and cultural office for applying visa in person.

Q：Why should I fill the visa application form online first before registration? Why should I provide my bar code in IC registration system?

Q：我该何时开始办理「大陆居民往来台湾通行证」与「入出境许可证明」？A：除了大陆人士来台自由行外，其余的会议签证一律由IC visa team从6月份起负责代为办理，「大陆居民往来台湾通行证」请务必在6/30以前自行办理妥当，当IC visa team收到大陆人士的大陆居民往来台湾通行证与申请文件后能开始代为办理「入出境许可证明」。
