Why this verdict
Mexican citizens' entry guidance is based on Taiwan BOCA/NIA's official visitor visa route. Taiwan BOCA says foreign nationals who are not eligible for visa-exempt entry or eVisa should use the visitor visa / general visa application route through an ROC overseas mission. This guidance is intentionally conservative: ordinary passport, short visitor travel only. Work, residence, study, religious work, special permits, Mainland/Hong Kong/Macao area status, temporary visa-exemption trials, emergency/temporary passports, airline handling, onward-entry documents and Taiwan immigration discretion can change the practical answer. Reconfirm on the official Taiwan BOCA/NIA source before booking.
Conditional rules
- Work, residence, long-term study, religious work or other permit-requiring activity Visa required
Taiwan BOCA says visa-free, eVisa, landing-visa and visitor routes do not remove the need for a permit/visa when the intended activity requires one under Taiwan law.
- Airside transit without leaving the international transit area Visa-free
BOCA's eVisa FAQ says travellers do not need an eVisa if they do not leave the international transit area of the airport in Taiwan; entering Taiwan follows the traveller's normal visa/authorization route.
- Emergency, temporary or informal passports Conditional
Up to 30 days. BOCA says emergency/temporary passports generally cannot use visa-exempt/eVisa routes; a landing visa may be available for eligible visa-exempt nationalities except the United States, subject to ports, fees and documents.
- Online Taiwan Arrival Card Conditional
Taiwan NIA says TWAC submission is mandatory before immigration clearance for foreign nationals entering with a visitor visa or under visa exemption and for Mainland Chinese residents holding a multiple-entry tourist permit.
