Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport needs to be valid for the entire time you plan to be in Taiwan. Taiwan does not require 6 months of validity beyond your departure date, but some airlines may still ask for it at check-in. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Taiwan | Immigration officers at Taoyuan and Kaohsiung airports routinely ask for a return or onward ticket. Have a printed or digital copy of your outbound flight booking ready. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Officers may ask where you're staying, especially if you arrive without a clear itinerary. A hotel confirmation or a letter from a host with their address and phone number covers this. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Taiwan does not publish a fixed minimum, but having a credit card or bank statement showing a few hundred USD is enough. I've never been asked for this, but carry a card just in case. | Recommended |
6-month passport rule strictly enforced
Immigration officers check your passport validity from the date you enter, not your departure. If your passport expires in less than 6 months, you will be refused entry. Renew before you go.
No visa needed — just show up
Slovenian passport holders get 90 days visa-free. No application, no fee, no appointment. Just a valid passport and a return ticket.
