Visitor arrivals to Taiwan are set to rise with the
implementation of an easier process for visa application.
Since 1 September 2010, travellers from Hong Kong and Macau
have been able to apply for a visa to Taiwan online for
free. Once their online applications have been approved,
they can print the approval statements and use them to enter
Taiwan. Arrivals from Macau and Hong Kong rose 5.89% to
450,927 for the first seven months of 2010. The new visa
application process may see the rise of weekend travel to
Taiwan during long weekends. |
