I’m pretty sure South African passport holders can get a 2 week landing visa right?..
Friends are coming for just over a week in November, on a legitimate visit…i.e. they aren’t coming to try and find work on the sly…if it’s under 2 weeks and they have a return ticket, it’s all above board to just arrive and ask for the landing visa, no?..
the regulations changed recently but I think u can’t get a landing visa.
i always use my EU passport and not my South African so I’m not 100% sure. give the “embassy” a call, here are the details:

Alleycat is right. RSA nationals are not one of the nationalities allowed vis free entry. To find out who is, just type ‘taiwan landing visa’ in google and you’ll find a list.
There is a RSA teacher from my school who came in with a 1 month non-extendable visitor visa, he had to get it back in Johannesburg.
I was told that he was able to get a resident visa w/o having to do a visa run out of Taiwan! Our school got him a work permit from the MOE, he went to the MOFA, filled in the forms, paid the fee and boom, resident visa!
