This new measure aims to streamline immigration clearance and eliminate the hassle of filling out the paper forms. According to the National Immigration Agency (NIA), TWAC is free of charge and must be completed entirely online. Foreign travelers may complete the form online on the official TWAC website (https://twac.immigration.gov.tw) within three days before arrival. Once submitted, the system automatically sends a confirmation email to the traveler’s registered email address. Travelers do not need to present the confirmation during inspection, when an immigration officer scans the passport, the system automatically retrieves the recorded TWAC data. The NIA reminds travelers that completing the TWAC form is mandatory before immigration clearance. Without submission, entry processing cannot proceed. TWAC applies to: 1.Foreign nationals entering Taiwan with a visitor visa or under the visa- exemption program.(for study mandarine) 2.Hong Kong and Macao residents holding a multiple entry permit. 3.Mainland Chinese residents holding a multiple-entry tourist permit. 4.Nationals without household registration who do not hold a Resident Certificate.
