Taiwanese Laissez-Passer Photo

Portraits for Taiwan’s Overseas Entry Permit Application

For emergency travel assistance involving Taiwan, the relevant document may be the Entry Permit described by BOCA rather than a document formally titled laissez-passer. Its overseas application checklist requires a completed form, two colour photographs and evidence of nationality or household-registration identity. The receiving mission also examines supporting documents appropriate to the reason for applying. Establish that this is the correct service before preparing the portrait package.

The new portrait and the evidence of identity documents have different roles. A passport copy may support the record, while a current recognisable likeness helps identify the traveller who will use the permit. Prepare matching prints with clear framing, an uncluttered background and a straightforward facial expression. Retain the original digital photograph so a replacement print can be produced without photographing a photocopy or enlarging a blurred scan.

Use the embassy and consulate directory to find the responsible overseas mission, including a representative office where that is the relevant contact. For a minor, BOCA also lists the legal representative’s identification and consent, so a suitable portrait alone will not complete the file. Check photo quality before attending and discuss the itinerary with the mission. The detailed photo requirements below assist with the image; the authority determines which travel document can be issued and the journey for which it may be used.
