How this visa is processed
Taipei Commercial Office in Bogotá (Carrera 11 No. 93-53, office 501), which covers Venezuela
Venezuelans need a visa for Taiwan and are not on the list of nationalities that can apply for Taiwan's e-Visa. Taiwan has no office in Venezuela: the Bureau of Consular Affairs of its Foreign Ministry refers Venezuelans to the Taipei Commercial Office in Bogotá, at Carrera 11 No. 93-53 (office 501). The form is filled in online at visawebapp.boca.gov.tw and printed. The office is open Monday to Friday from 8:30 to 12:30 and 13:30 to 17:30, at col@mofa.gov.tw and on +57 601 905 4985, +57 601 905 4999 and +57 601 907 4907. Since the application is made in Colombia, it is worth confirming with the office beforehand which documents it asks for and whether it requires any stay or residence in Colombia.

Transit rules
Anyone who stays beyond the time granted is fined and may be deported, with possible restrictions on re-entry. Taiwan is in a highly seismic zone: the magnitude 7.4 earthquake near Hualien on 3 April 2024 caused landslides in Taroko National Park, which has only partly reopened. Typhoons are frequent from June to October.
