I'm from Cebu, Philippines & I want to travel to Taipei HOW & WHERE can i get a tourist Visa?

Question

Can anybody assist me on the step-by-step process of getting a VIsa for Taiwan? How long would it take to process? How much per person?

Answer 1

There is a one-China policy so the Philippines does not host a Taiwan Embassy. However, there is "trade office" that functions like an embassy:

Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in the Philippines
Address 41F, Tower 1, RCBC Plaza, 6819 Ayala Avenue, Makati City 1200, Metro Manila, Philippines

Phone [phone]
Fax [phone]

Hours of operation Monday ~ Friday,
08:45~11:30(Receiving time)
13:30~16:30(Dispatching time)
Closed on Taiwan and Philippine Public Holidays


Points to consider when applying for a visa:

Make sure you have another piece if ID that you can leave with the security guard at the entrance of the consulate
Bring your ticket or itinerary showing your departure out of Taiwan.
Make sure your attire is presentable, no shorts, torn clothes, sandals etc.
Usual service is 3 business days and express is 1 business day. Note: this is after the application has been received. So in fact you drop off one day and can pick it up the next day.
Application fee is 1950 pesos - Rush service 1000 pesos
You must bring 2 passport photos with your application (there is a passport photo shop near the consulate.
Bring your ticket or itinerary showing your departure out of Taiwan.
You will need an employment authorization from the Council of Affairs if you are applying for a resident visa in order to get an ARC.
If you are applying for a tourist visa you will need proof of financial support such as a bank account statement showing sufficient funds.
