My girlfriend is from Mainland China and wants to visit Taiwan with me in Oct. We are both in the States right now and I was wondering what she needs to have in order to visit Taiwan. I couldn’t find much information anywhere about this type of situation. I know that the visiting policies have been laxed recently but wasn’t sure if she needs to apply for a visa and if she could apply for the visa her in the states?
Suggest you call the nearest Taiwanese Liaison Office for the right information. There are quite a few in the US.
There are still a lot of hurdles, so I wouldn’t get your hopes up too much.
But, like bigduke said, you should check with the nearest Taiwan office in the States.
