The Exit & Entry Permit for Taiwan, Republic of China is the document for the bearer to enter and/or depart Taiwan. Currently, there are several types of Exit & Entry Permit that reflect the bearer's residency status. The permit is issued by the National Immigration Agency of the Republic of China (Taiwan). For different purposes, the permit is also known as:
Taiwan Entry Permit (traditional Chinese: 入臺證; simplified Chinese: 入台证; pinyin: Rù Tái zhèng; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Ji̍p Tâi chèng), the travel document issued to the residents of the People's Republic of China (PRC) (including Mainland China, Hong Kong, and Macau) for short term visits to Taiwan. The single-entry permit is a color printed A4 paper, while the multiple-entry permit is a sky blue passport-size booklet. Despite its name, the permit must be used in conjunction with a valid travel document when entering Taiwan, as the permit itself is not a travel document. Specific permanent residents of Hong Kong and Macau are eligible to apply for the permit online or upon arrival in Taiwanese airports.
Kinmen–Matsu Permit (traditional Chinese: 金馬證; simplified Chinese: 金马证; pinyin: Jīn Mǎ zhèng; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Kim Má chèng), the travel document issued to the people who has household registration in Kinmen, Matsu, and Penghu to travel to and back from the People's Republic of China through the designated sea ports in these three places. In 2017, a new design of biometric IC card has replaced the historical sky blue passport-size booklet. This type of permit is a valid travel document and the holder can pass the Taiwanese border control without a Taiwan passport. However, to enter Mainland China, a Mainland Travel Permit for Taiwan Residents issued by the PRC is required.
