All visitors can be denied entry without a return<br \/>\nticket already purchased, so you will need to buy your cheap tickets home<br \/>\nbefore your arrival.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\n<br \/>\nAs U.S. passport holders, visitors can currently enter<br \/>\nTaiwan <em>without<\/em> a visa for up to 90<br \/>\ndays. This hassle free entry is valid only for passports with at least 90 days<br \/>\nleft before expiration, and no extensions will be granted once in Taiwan. For a<br \/>\nmore flexible visit, or for visits longer than 90 days, consider applying for a<br \/>\nTaiwan visa before your arrival in Taiwan. Applications can be submitted online<br \/>\nat the <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.taiwanembassy.org\/US\/mp.asp?mp=12\" target=\"_blank\">Taipei Economic<br \/>\nand Cultural Representative Office website<\/a>. &nbsp;Current rates start at $164.00 for regular<br \/>\nprocessing.<br \/>\n\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\n<br \/>\n&nbsp;To complete the Taiwan visa application, you will need to<br \/>\nknow your personal applicant information (such as nationality, name, date of<br \/>\nbirth, occupation, address, etc&#8230;), valid passport details, purpose of travel<br \/>\nand proposed arrival\/departure dates, and details of a contact in Taiwan. After<br \/>\nonline submission, applicants should submit required documents (if requested)<br \/>\nwith visa application photos within 30 days for approval. Taiwan visas will be<br \/>\ngranted for visits totaling less than 6 months per calendar year.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\n<br \/>\nTECO (Taipei Economic and Cultural Office) also has offices<br \/>\nin Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Honolulu, Houston, Kansas City, Los Angeles,<br \/>\nMiami, New York, San Francisco, and Seattle for ease of use. If you are close<br \/>\nto one of these cities, you can visit the office directly for visa application<br \/>\nand processing.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\n<br \/>\nOnce in Taiwan, questions regarding passports and visas<br \/>\nshould be directed to the American Institutes in Taiwan.
