May I know usually how long does it take to be approved if the status is "pending for decision" in Taipei embassy?

If anyone have any experience, please let me know.

Answer summary

The approval time for visa applications at the Taipei embassy can vary significantly. Based on community experiences, it typically takes about 4 weeks, but some individuals report shorter wait times of around 4 days after the status changes to 'Pending Decision'. It's important to note that external factors like high application seasons and the need for additional documents can extend this timeline.

Use search including Embassy name, you are asking questions that has been answered numerous times.

Those status messages doesn’t tell you anything useable about when you get your application approved/rejected.

You have to read the Embassy website thoroughly and take into account the right now is high season for visa applications.

Most Embassy website gives a very thorough information about processing time.

Additional Documents reset the time counting back to 0, at the day the documents are submitted.

Some Embassies process according to travel date ( to the benefit of the applicant) rathed than application date.

You just have to wait patiently.

For me, it took 4 days once the status changed to 'Pending Decision'. This includes saturday and sunday. So in reality, it is 2 business days.

In total, the process was 4.5 weeks.

I am located in Sydney, Australia.

yes, that does seem a bit long but at least you know your documents have been reviewed. have you tried to call or email to check in? i have read instances where people have done that, and then the visa was released within 1 or 2 days.

it means approval time begins from the day they receive the new docs not from the date of application. Hopefully you get approved soon, not unusual to be approved within a few days of a pending decision.

Don't worry, it is normal to not hear anything until now. Once they receive requested docs the approval clock is reset to 0.

I got mine from Taipei Dec 2024 when it was same day approval. I know a few approved recently from there and there are posts which detail 4-6 weeks to get approved. Taipei no longer the fastest for approval. When did you apply?
