And so temporarily and the future you want to travel to Taiwan is really difficult, not simple at all.

However, after this information, many people are misunderstanding that the Taiwan Embassy will stop providing Taiwan tourist visas to all subjects and visa forms, causing confusion for everyone.

In fact, Taiwan Embassy only banned visa leniency for travel companies to organize tour groups, while tourist visas and Advanced Visa,  E-visas are still able to apply normally.
So, those who already have a Japanese, Korean, developed countries visa will still declare their E-visa and apply for a normal Taiwan visa as before. For those who have not gone to developed countries or have the same name on the blacklist, they can apply for a Taiwan visa as well. Of course, after this case, those who have weak records must be careful, because Taiwan Embassy is and will tighten it.
