Quick update that the Taipei embassy is open again as of Friday, 10/4. Our paperwork was submitted for review this morning. Fingers crossed!

UPDATE: Visa paid and approved today. Pickup for our passports is on Monday - so it's a two-day process. Feel free to ask questions in the comments.

TLDR : Answer Summary
A user shared a positive update about their Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) application process in Taipei, which reopened on October 4. They successfully paid and received approval for their visa within two days and will collect their passports soon. The conversation explores various aspects of the application process, including payment methods, required documents, bank statements, and experiences applying in other locations like Singapore. Several community members engage by asking questions, sharing experiences, and providing support regarding dependent visas and specific documentation requirements.

Hey! Congrats. Could you provide the list of docs and which format of photo they require? Like 4x4 colour or...?

@Maxim ********
All of the requirements specific to Taipei are on their website. I believe it's a 2 x 2 passport type photo they need.

@David **********
one very last question. Does the bank statement has to include the bank stamp or signature? My bank can only provide the statement without any stamps...

@Maxim ********
Mine had neither. I just printed statements from my online account.

@David **********
cannot find the requirements, if you have a link, please share, thanks!

Wow, congrats on the DTV for you and your wife! I’m also planning to apply for my family as dependents.

Did you submit both your DTV applications on the same day, or did you apply for hers only after yours was approved? Thanks!
David ***********
ORIGINAL POSTER
@Xav ***
Yes, they allowed us to submit both applications at the same time.

Congratulations! How did you apply?

I applied in Singapore with a two-week cooking course, but unfortunately, they rejected me. I'm considering doing it in Taipei next, though I'm not sure if they will accept my two-week cooking course there.

Are you bringing any dependents? We need to request a dependent visa as well.

Thank you for your help!

I applied via the 'digital nomad' path with my wife as a dependent. So sorry that you were rejected in Singapore. Worth a shot to try again elsewhere I would say.

Is that a thing? I didn't know they did that.

@David **********
Taipei does, there are several posts confirming this. It was always same day pick up but they are now busier and next day pick up has become the norm.

congrats! Did you submit your wife's application yet? If not, did they say when you'd be able to? Thanks!

@Yuval ******
Thanks! And yes, they accepted both of our applications at the same time and both were approved at the same time.

@David **********
That's great! They previously said we'd only be able to submit the dependent's application after the main one is approved.

If it's you and your wife applying together, be sure to bring the original copy of your marriage certificate. They wanted to see ours, not just copies as indicated on their website.

@Yuval ******
We were told the same via email but it seems like they are letting people submit simultaneously in person.

@David **********
You gave one month statement?

I gave them 4 statements but only the most recent statement had a balance in excess of 500K.
