The visa waiver will allow Republic of China passport holders to stay in Israel for up to 90 days
Israel will sign a mutual visa waiver agreement with Taiwan the Israel Economic and Cultural Office in Taipei (ISECO) Simona Halperin said last week.
The visa waiver, which will take effect 45 days after the agreement is signed, will allow Republic of China passport holders to stay in Israel for up to 90 days.
According to Halperin, Israel gives visitors from less than 60 countries, including the US, EU member states, Japan and South Korea, visa exemption privileges.
“It is obvious for Taiwan to become a member of our visa waiver program,” she said, pointing out the country’s low risk of illegal immigration and its potential contribution to Israel’s tourism.
