Taiwan is now joining Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand in mandating that all visitors, including Australian travelers on holiday or business trips, fill out a digital arrivals card before entering the country.
The new Taiwan Arrival Card (TWAC) takes effect on the 1st of October 2025 and must be completed within 72 hours before landing in Taiwan. However, it can also be filled out at the last minute upon arrival, with free Wi-Fi and devices provided at the airport.
A spokesperson for Taiwan's National Immigration Agency stated that paper arrival cards will still be available for "exceptional situations," but the country is transitioning away from them to simplify the immigration process.
Filling out the Taiwan Arrival Card is simple and hassle-free, with no fees required. Travelers just need to provide their passport, contact details, flight, and accommodation information. For group travel, one person can complete the form for up to 16 people.
China Airlines and EVA Air operate direct flights from Australia to Taipei, while Starlux is considering expanding its network to include Australia.
