🇨🇳 China visa requirements for Taiwanese citizens

Entry rules for Taiwan passport holders

Holders of a valid passport from Taiwan can travel to China for tourism or short business trips without applying for a visa. You'll typically just need a passport valid for at least six months beyond your arrival date, and you may be asked to show proof of onward travel or sufficient funds at the border.

Entry rules can change at short notice. Always confirm current requirements with the official China immigration authority or your nearest embassy before booking.

How this compares

The Taiwanese passport ranks #76 worldwide, opening 117 destinations without a visa arranged in advance (75 visa-free, 34 with a visa on arrival and 8 with an eTA). China is one of them.

This is not reciprocal — traveling the other way, Chinese citizens need to arrange entry to Taiwan in advance (visa required).

Across Eastern Asia as a whole, 5 of 7 destinations are open to Taiwanese travelers without arranging a visa in advance.
