Overview

CORRECTED: Taiwan has NO representative office in Bangladesh. The Taipei Economic and Cultural Center (TECC), New Delhi (India) handles Bangladeshi visa applications instead — confirmed independently by two Bangladesh-focused visa agencies (one states verbatim: 'all Bangladeshi Nationals need to process this visa from their Economic and Cultural Center in New Delhi, Bangkok, Singapore etc.'). Prior DB record's repeated references to a 'TECO Dhaka' are inaccurate. Also corrected: the general tourist eVisa is NOT available to Bangladesh passport holders. Taiwan's official BOCA eVisa-eligibility page (checked live) lists ~20 nationalities eligible for the broad 'holds a valid US/UK/Canada/Australia/Schengen/etc. visa' eVisa route, and Bangladesh is not among them. Bangladesh nationals instead qualify only for a narrow Business-purpose eVisa when recommended by an overseas TAITRA (Taiwan External Trade Development Council) office. For tourism, Bangladeshi nationals must apply for a standard sticker Visitor Visa at TECC New Delhi: USD 50 single entry / USD 100 multiple entry, per BOCA's official visa fee table (these amounts match the prior DB figures).

Visa types: Standard Visitor Visa (sticker, via TECC New Delhi - single or multiple entry); Business eVisa (narrow route - only with TAITRA-office recommendation, business purposes only, general tourist eVisa NOT available); Student Visa (Resident Visa, apply via TECC New Delhi after school admission); Work Visa (ARC with Work Permit / Employment Gold Card); Family-based Visa; Transit; Diplomatic/Official.
