Visa requirements for Taiwanese citizens

This article is about the visa requirements for citizens of the Republic of China (ROC), also known as "Taiwan". For the visa requirements for citizens of the People's Republic of China (PRC), also known simply as "China" or "mainland China", see visa requirements for Chinese citizens.

Visa requirements for citizens of the Republic of China (Taiwan) are administrative entry restrictions by the authorities of other states placed on nationals of the Republic of China (Taiwan) who have also established household registration in Taiwan. The law of Taiwan has various distinctions on its nationals' right of abode to its territory for those with or without household registration in Taiwan (NWHR and NWOHR).

The nationals with household registration (NWHRs), also referred to as citizens, are eligible to apply for National Identification Card with an ID number, and the ID number is imprinted on the passport's biodata page to signify the holder's status against the nationals without household registration (NWOHRs). As such, holders of passports with a National ID number can travel to more countries and territories without visas than those without.

In terms of the number of countries that its holders may visit without a visa, the Taiwan passport is one of the five passports with the most improved rating globally from 2006 to 2016 (20+), but became one of the seven passports with the most decreased rating globally from 2016 to 2026 (-4). As of 2026, NWHRs had visa-free or visa on arrival access to 139 countries and territories, ranking it the 33th in the world according to the Henley Passport Index.
