Visa policy of Taiwan (officially the Republic of China) grants visa-free and visa-on-arrival travel for citizens of 45 countries and an online travel authority is valid for citizens of 7 counties/territories. Despite the difficulties in signing bilateral agreements with other countries due to its diplomatic isolation, Taiwan has reciprocal and unilateral visa exemption arrangements with a relatively large number of countries for entry into the Free Area of the Republic of China. Taiwan passport holders enjoy visa exemption arrangements for entry into a significant number of countries.
