Hi everyone,

I searched the group but couldn't find an answer.

I am an Israeli citizen on a tourist visa in bkk now.

I am considering to fly to Taipei for a visa run and apply there for a 2 months tourist visa to Thailand.

There is little information about it on the web.

One blog post says its doable.

Has anyone, no  Taiwanese l, did it in the last year or so?

Thanks!

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user, an Israeli citizen currently on a tourist visa in Bangkok, is exploring the option of traveling to Taipei for a visa run to apply for a Thai tourist visa. However, several comments highlight potential challenges, including Taipei lacking a Thai Embassy and the requirement for a Taiwanese residency card for non-Taiwanese applicants. Overall, there seems to be a consensus in the comments that applying for a Thai visa in Taipei may not be feasible for non-residents.

I thought they were calling all able male Israeli back to defend their country against Hamas. Please do the right thing.

no, I am literally encouraging you to go back and fight. You shouldn't be on holiday while you should be fighting.

If the army would recruit me I would go.

Got released many years ago.

Gaza is not a threat to Israel, never was. The real threat is Hizbellah from Lebanon, and that is not highly probable to manifest now.

Gaza and Hizbellah are proxies of Iran. Iran and radical Islam is a threat to the entire western world. We should all be fighting this fight, and will be fighting it for the next decade. The US and EU wrongly think they can stay on the sidelines. It will go everywhere. Whoever thinks this is about the occupation should learn history.

There's a report here from 2022. A person with a US passport was turned away from getting a visa in Taipei for not having a residents card.

never in the amount of years I've been here, have I seen anybody be successful in gaining a visa in Taiwan without having residency there.

I do know that the Trade office for some reason is run by the Philippines.

Just before COVID, Taiwan gave 2 weeks notice of moving to Evisa but I don't think it's happened yet.

There have been long delays though for Taiwanese when applying for Tourist visas. Hence they have been granted all but temporarily, visa exempt entry.

Taipei has no Thai Embassy only a trade and economic office.

You also require a Taiwanese ID card etc to be able to apply there. It does state though you require flights in and out of Thailand for Non Taiwanese nationals.

I believe that's for non Taiwanese passport holders though with no Taiwanese residency.

Best to contact them and be certain you can actually apply there before travelling.

Did you choose Taipei because you want to stay there a week and visit? If not, just take the bus to a neighbor country like Laos or Cambodia, it's much easier to get tourist visa there. Taipei is not a common place for visa runners, but I'm sure some did it this year. Good luck!
