Does Greece Need a TWAC?
Greek passport holders must complete the Taiwan Arrival Card before entering Taiwan — including those traveling on visa-free entry. The TWAC is not a visa. It's a free digital entry declaration run by Taiwan's National Immigration Agency (NIA), and it's separate from whatever visa status you hold.
Greek citizens traveling on visa-exempt entry still need to submit one. No exceptions apply based on nationality or travel purpose.
Taiwan Arrival Card and Visa-Free Entry Rules for Greek Passport Holders
⚠️ Verify before publishing: Greece's exact visa-free duration and conditions should be confirmed against Taiwan's National Immigration Agency at twac.immigration.gov.tw before this page goes live. Do not assume a standard 90-day stay without official confirmation.
What is confirmed: Greek citizens fall outside Taiwan's New Southbound Policy group (which covers countries like the Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, India, Myanmar, Cambodia, and Brunei) and are not Hong Kong or Macau residents — so those special conditional entry rules do not apply to Greek passport holders.
The TWAC is required regardless of your permitted length of stay. Even if you're visiting for just a few days, you still need to submit it.
What to Prepare for Your Taiwan Arrival Card (TWAC)
Before you open the form, gather the following:
- Valid passport — your name on the TWAC must match exactly what's printed in your passport. A nickname or abbreviated name will cause problems at immigration.
- Email address — your QR code confirmation is sent here immediately after submission.
- Flight details — airline name, flight number, arrival date, and port of entry.
- Accommodation address — full hotel name and address, or if you're staying with someone, their full name, address, and a Taiwanese mobile number.
- Purpose of visit — tourism, business, visiting relatives, etc.
- Occupation and phone number — required fields on the TWAC form.
Visa holders must also have their visa number and expiry date on hand. If you're traveling without a visa (visa-exempt), you don't need to enter any visa information.
How to Fill Out the Taiwan TWAC — Quick Steps for Greek Travelers
The form itself takes around 5–10 minutes. Here's the process:
- Go to the official portal — head to twac.immigration.gov.tw and select your language. English is available.
- Start your submission — click "Submit Arrival Card" to begin a new entry.
- Verify your email — the first step is an email verification. Check your inbox and confirm before proceeding.
- Enter traveler information — full legal name, date of birth, nationality, passport number, and expiry date.
- Add your itinerary — flight number, airline, arrival date, departure date, port of entry, and purpose of visit.
- Enter accommodation details — hotel name and full address, or host details if applicable.
- Review and confirm — double-check every field before submitting. Errors can be corrected later, but catching them now saves time.
- Save your QR code — once submitted, a confirmation email arrives immediately with your QR code. Screenshot it or print a copy before you fly.

When to Submit Your Taiwan Arrival Card
The TWAC submission window is up to 7 days before your arrival date — a window that was extended from 3 days in June 2026. Your QR code remains valid for a single entry.
| When you submit | What to expect |
|---|---|
| 7–3 days before | Ideal — time to fix errors and verify everything |
| 2 days before | Fine — still enough buffer |
| 24 hours before | Acceptable but tight |
| Day of flight | Risky — some airlines check at check-in |
| After landing | Avoid — kiosks exist at TPE and KHH but queues can be long |
Submitting early is always the safer call. The form is editable anytime before arrival, so if your hotel changes or your flight details shift, you can update it without starting over.
