Can I get a Taiwan visa from China?

Travelling to Taiwan from the People’s Republic of China (PRC) isn’t a simple thing, especially if your return route is also via the PRC. You may find you need a double-entry visa in order to make the return. The PRC can be sticky about the political divide and some travellers have posted in various forums complaining of their treatment.

Taiwan does have a consulate in Hong Kong (within the Lippo Centre on Queensway). For historical reasons, Hong Kong is outside the PRC visa area and treated almost like a separate entity for tourist purposes. You could have your holiday in the PRC, then exit into Hong Kong, apply for your Taiwan visa there, then fly to Taiwan, returning via Hong Kong to Sri Lanka.

Taiwan has almost no embassies left, having lost the battle with the PRC for recognition (with very few, mostly insignificant, exceptions). What are usually present are offices that provide consular services with names such as “Taipei Economic and Cultural Center”. China (The People’s Republic) has nothing to do with Republic of China (Taiwan) visas, so don’t bother contacting their embassy or consulate.

Here is a link to the ROC government page regarding Sri Lankan citizens.

Since Taiwan does not appear to have representation in Sri Lanka, you’d probably have to send your application and passport off to Delhi or elsewhere.
