•Visas for business purposes are much easier to obtain than tourist visas, provided you have a Taiwanese company sponsoring you.
•Expect enhanced security screening due to the Syrian passport.

Easiest Way to Get It

Apply for a Business Visa with a strong Letter of Guarantee from a registered Taiwanese company at your nearest TECO office.

Visa rules can change. Always verify with the official embassy.
