Moroccan passport holders need a visa to enter Taiwan in 2026. You must apply online before you travel — there are no visa-on-arrival or visa-waiver options for Moroccan citizens. Plan ahead, as processing can take a couple of weeks.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| eVisa application Apply before travel | Moroccan passport holders need a visa for Taiwan. Apply online at the Taiwan eVisa Portal at least 7 days before departure. The application costs around $50 USD and processing takes 3–5 working days.Apply for eVisa | Required |
| Valid passport Must cover entire stay | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended departure date from Taiwan. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you'll be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of onward travel | Immigration officers at Taoyuan Airport routinely ask for a return or onward ticket. Have a printed or digital copy ready showing your departure from Taiwan within your visa's validity period. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Carry a hotel reservation or an invitation letter from your host in Taiwan. Immigration may ask where you're staying — having a booking confirmation speeds things up. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Bank statement or cash | Have a bank statement showing at least $500 USD or the equivalent in cash. Immigration rarely asks, but if they do, you need to show you can cover your stay. | Recommended |
No visa on arrival
Moroccan passport holders cannot get a visa at the airport in Taiwan. You must apply and receive approval online before you fly. Arriving without a visa means you'll be denied entry and sent back.
Passport validity counts from entry date
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you land in Taiwan, not from the day you apply. If your passport expires sooner, renew it first.
What happens at the border
1
Apply for a visa online
Go to visawebapp.boca.gov.tw, create an account, and fill out the visa application form. You'll need to upload a passport-style photo, a copy of your passport data page, and your flight itinerary. Submit and pay the fee (around TWD 1,600, roughly USD 50). Processing usually takes 5–10 business days.

Wait for approval and print your visa
Once approved, you'll receive a visa certificate by email. Print it out and carry it with your passport. You'll need to show it at immigration when you arrive in Taiwan.

At the airport, follow signs to 'Foreign Nationals' immigration counters. Have your passport, printed visa, return ticket, and accommodation confirmation ready. The officer may ask a few questions about your trip — answer clearly. After stamping, you're free to enter.

Frequently asked questions
Processing usually takes 5–10 business days after you submit your online application. Apply at least 2–3 weeks before your planned departure to be safe.
No, the visa is not extendable. You must leave Taiwan before your visa expires. If you need more time, you'd have to apply for a new visa from outside Taiwan.
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your entry date. If it's shorter, renew your passport before applying for the visa. Immigration will deny entry otherwise.
It's not a formal requirement listed on the application, but immigration officers may ask how you'll support yourself during your stay. Having a bank statement or credit card available is a good idea.
No. There is no visa-on-arrival for Moroccan passport holders. You must get your visa approved online before you travel.
Rejections are rare if you provide accurate documents. If rejected, you'll receive a reason. You can reapply after addressing the issue, but there's no formal appeal process. Consider consulting the nearest Taiwan embassy or representative office.
It's not mandatory for entry, but it's strongly recommended. A hospital stay in Taiwan can cost hundreds of dollars per day. A basic policy covering medical emergencies is cheap peace of mind.
