Can Americans Without a Residency Permit in Taiwan Apply for a DTV Visa?
DTV in Taipei? As an American?
I can’t find any info on the Taipei website because it just lists people who can apply that have a residency visa in Taiwan .
But can Americans without a residency permit in Taiwan apply?
I am in Taipei preparing my documentation and want to use the local embassy here for DTV which I heard takes 2 days to process

Does anyone know if there is an issue proving your freelance revenue if you only recently started a new company?
I was employed until April, now run an LLC in Dubai remotely. Now I wonder if the mix of documents will be an issue.

I was planning to go to Taiwan next week but also thinking about the digital nomad visa for Thailand. I got a German passport so it seems like I can actually apply in Taiwan while only being there as a tourist. That's amazing. Thank you for this link! 🫶Michael **********
Do you have an ARC/APRC?

@Janelle ****
when I applied for a tourist visa in January (as a foreigner), I got asked to prove that I was a resident here (arc/aprc) otherwise they wouldn't have processed my request. I actually tried to apply for that visa through a travel agent but they all refused that cuz I'm a foreigner (even tho I got an aprc).If you are on visa exempt then you might have some issues when it comes to apply for your visaJanelle *****

ahhhhh makes sense!!!Michael **********
@Janelle ****
Till few months ago you could just get 30days on visa exempt. I wanted to stay one and half month and I didnt want to waste a day of holidays to apply for a visa extension in thailand so I applied for a tourist visa here (it is also cheaper, 1200$ vs 1900$ visa extension)Janelle *****
OP@Michael *********
interesting. But why would you need to apply for a tourist visa as an American?Brandon ************
Yes Taipei accepts DTV applications from non-residents

OP@Brandon ***********
thank you . So I just use the pdf for the general visa application? Cause the one on Taipei site says MANILA , and it also doesn’t list the dtv visa as an option

@Janelle ****
yes you use the application that says Manila on it. Also in the ‘other’ line is where you write down DTV.Joyce ****
@Janelle ****
sorry I’mNot sure what an ARC is?
There is a line for ID number close to where you write your name.
I put down my country’s ID number but they never cross referenced or checked it.
Janelle *****
OP@Joyce ***
thank you I did that. I had an ARC before , so I wrote my number for ID on the left - is it correct ? I no longer hold an arc
