入境是看國籍的
Any type of entry to another country requires the passport.

綠卡只有居留權

Your Green card only proof that you are a permenant resident of the US.

所以還是要用印度護照申請台灣簽證

Thereby, you need to apply Taiwanese Visa for the entry.

Currently, India does not belong to the countries eligible for Visa-exempt entry.

Answer 2

Your husband (spouse) entered the United States legally with a tourist/visitor visa. I believe his I-94 expired and he fell out of status and therefore became an illegal alien. You're a green card holder. The USCIS will not recognize your marriage. Your husband will have to go back to his country to wait (sometimes for years) for his papers to be formalized. Your husband cannot get a social security card and employment authorization document. Your husband is in the United States illegally. Hard luck.

International Travel
A Permanent Resident of the United States can travel freely outside of the US. A passport from the country of citizenship is normally all that is needed. To reenter the US a Permanent Resident normally needs to present the green card (Permanent Resident Card, Form I-551) for readmission. A reentry permit is needed for reentry for trips greater than one year but less than two years in duration.

do not forget to get the readmission for
I-551 before he leaves

ps: i came back because i just thougt of something , usually a green card holder does not need a visa to travel , as far as i remember ? but check to make sure
ok ? too many things in my heard right now
ps: i came back again :
If you want to get a re-entry permit, file Form I-131, Application
for Travel Document. You should file this application well in advance
of your planned trip. The I-131 is available on our website at
uscis.gov.
The instructions on the form will give you more details. If you have
questions after you read the instructions, just check our website or
call customer service at 1-800-375-5283.
What will happen if I do not apply for a re-entry permit
before I travel outside of the U.S.?
If you are a permanent resident who plans to travel outside of
the U.S. for one year or more, it is important that you apply for a
re-entry permit before you depart the U.S. If you stay outside of the
U.S. for one year or more and did not apply for a re-entry
permit before you left, then you may be considered to have
abandoned your permanent resident status and may be refused
entry into the U.S. if you try to return. If you are in this situation,
contact the U.S. Consulate about a returning resident visa.
Can I apply for the re-entry permit and then leave,
even though I don’t have the re-entry permit in my
possession yet?
U.S. immigration law does not require that you have the re-entry
document in your possession when you depart, but it does require
that you apply for the permit before you leave the U.S. We may be
able to send your re-entry permit to the U.S. Consulate or Embassy
in the country you plan on visiting, but you’ll need to specifically
request this when you file your I-131. If you choose this option, you
should contact the U.S. Consulate or Embassy in the country you
plan on visiting when you arrive, to let them know how to contact
you while you are in that country. The U.S. Consulate or Embassy
may then contact you if your application is approved and your permit
has arrived there.
If you are planning to use the re-entry permit as a passport, then
you will need to wait for it before leaving the U.S. If you cannot
wait, you may want to contact the consulate of the country you are
planning to visit to find out if you can use other documents to enter.
