What Raahi used, when it was last refreshed, and what it cannot promise
Source data supports Raahi’s recommendations; it does not replace the destination’s immigration authority, airline or live booking provider.
Raahi presents visa and entry information for the Indian passport compiled from public datasets. This is general information for planning, not legal or immigration advice.
Visa rules, fees, and processing times change frequently and without notice, and the underlying data can be outdated, incomplete, or wrong. Requirements also depend on your specific situation — purpose of travel, length of stay, past travel history, and connecting/transit countries.
Before you book or travel, always confirmwith the destination country's official embassy, consulate, or immigration website, and with your airline. Raahi holds no responsibility for travel decisions made using this information.
⚠ Requirements, fees & processing times vary — always confirm on the official route, and beware lookalike agent sites.
Simplest — keep your number. Activate an international-roaming pack before you leave India (activating abroad is costlier).
Carrier names are a guide; check current tourist plans and coverage before you buy.
Visa/Mastercard are widely accepted, but your normal card adds ~3.5% forex markup plus ATM fees — a forex card avoids both. See Pay like home above for UPI/RuPay where it works.
Under RBI’s LRS you can carry forex within limits; large forex loads attract TCS — check current rules & rates before you buy.

Good to know

The optimal time to visit Taiwan is late winter to early spring, especially March and April, when temperatures are mild and rainfall is moderate, giving the highest comfort scores.
Best window
March – April
Shoulder tip
October offers decent comfort (72/100) with lower crowds and still pleasant temperatures, making it a good value month.
Maybe skip
May through September should be avoided because rainfall spikes (215–390 mm) indicating the monsoon season, while temperatures remain only slightly higher.
Comfort is a travel guide from climate averages, not a forecast · timing notes explained by AI. Always check current conditions before booking.
Taiwan shares familiar urban warmth with bustling markets and street food stalls, but with a quieter, more organized vibe. Indian travelers may notice Chinese cultural overlaps but will find Indo-Taiwanese hybrid dishes like paneer wontons or masala tea alongside local flavors.
Indian community
A long-established Indian community resides in Taipei's Beitou and Zuoying districts, with temples and casual eateries catering to regional tastes.
Veg / Jain food
Vegetarian and Jain options are moderately available in major cities, though labeling can be inconsistent; apps like HappyCow help locate reliable spots.
Indian food
Indian grocery chains like Metro Food City in Taipei offer spices and basic staples, while niche cafes serve dosas or samosas near tourist zones.
Places of worship
Hindu temples like Taipei Temple of Shiva in Shilin, Sikh Gurdwara in Tamsui, and Muslim Jamia Mosque in Beitou serve diverse communities.

“Taiwan is very safe for tourists, even for women walking down the street alone at night. This is not to say, however, that there is no crime, and you should always take the usual precautions. In crowded areas such as night markets or festivals, for example, pickpockets are a known problem, but violent crime and mugg…”
