Visa requirements

For all attendees, please ensure that your passport has a minimum of six months’ validity from the date of entry into Taiwan. However, US and Japanese passport holders only need their passports to be valid for the duration of their intended stay.

Depending on your passport, you may need a visa to enter Taiwan. Visit the following links for more information:

• Visa-Exempt Entry
• eVisa for Non-Visa Free Countries: If your passport is not eligible for visa-exempt entry, you may be able to apply for a visa online.
• Designated Countries: Participants from designated countries may have to submit applications via specified offices.

If you need a visa to enter Taiwan, you can either (a) request a letter of invitation that you can use to apply for your visa yourself, or (b) request eVisa assistance from the DRAPAC24 team.

Self-application for visa (recommended)

1. On the DRAPAC24 registration form, tick “yes” to request a letter of invitation.
2. The organising team will send this to you via email.
3. You can use the letter of invitation to apply for your visa yourself.
