Do Brunei citizens need a visa for Taiwan?

Based on GoMate's data verified against official and consular sources, the short-stay rule for an ordinary Brunei passport entering Taiwan is "Visa-free", for stays of up to 14 days (temporary, until 31 July 2026). This covers short visits for tourism, business, or transit. Entry requirements can change, so always confirm with the Taiwan embassy before traveling.

Under current regulations, Brunei passport holders may stay in Taiwan for up to 14 days (temporary, until 31 July 2026) per entry on a short-stay basis (tourism, business, or transit). Overstaying can result in fines, deportation, and may affect future visa applications, so plan to leave within the permitted period.

No advance application is required. Brunei passport holders can travel to Taiwan and present a valid passport at the border for short stays covering tourism, business, or transit. Be ready to provide: Taiwan Arrival Card (TWAC) completed within 3 days before arrival. Always confirm the current requirements with the Taiwan embassy before traveling.

Passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the date of entry. Additional requirements: Taiwan Arrival Card (TWAC) completed within 3 days before arrival. Carry proof of onward travel and sufficient funds, as these may be checked at the border.

No. Short-stay entry to Taiwan is intended for tourism, business meetings, and transit — it does not permit paid employment. To work in Taiwan, Brunei citizens need a separate work visa or permit arranged in advance.

The 14 days (temporary, until 31 July 2026) short-stay limit is generally firm. Extensions are sometimes possible by applying to the Taiwan immigration authorities before your permitted stay ends. Overstaying can lead to fines, deportation, and may affect future visa applications, so do not rely on it.

This rule was last reviewed on 23 May 2026. Visa policies change frequently — always confirm the final requirements with the Taiwan embassy or government before you travel.
