Important Requirements:

• Passports must be valid for at least six months before expiration at the time of entry.
  (U.S. and Japanese passports must be valid for the entire intended stay.)

• Visa-exempt travelers must present proof of onward or return travel from Taiwan, such as a confirmed flight ticket or other documentation showing departure from the Republic of China (Taiwan).
