Can I travel to Taiwan only in cities that are open to independent travel? In fact, urban residents who have not been granted free travel can also go to Taiwan, but it will be a little more troublesome. For details, please refer to the following methods.

1. Follow a tour group that is qualified to travel to Taiwan.

2. Spouses and children under the age of 16 who have registered residence in the 36 cities open to independent travel, even if they are not in the 36 open cities, can apply for independent travel in Taiwan. (Please consult your local public security bureau to determine the specific local implementation of the new rules)

3. If your registered residence is in a non-open city for free travel, but you work in the above 36 open cities, and you have a temporary residence permit and proof of social security payment for one year (for details, please consult the local immigration bureau to determine the specific local implementation of the new rules), you can apply for a Taiwan pass and G endorsement from the Public Security Bureau in the above 36 cities. After successfully obtaining the G endorsement, you can apply for a Taiwan entry permit from a travel agency with the qualification to operate tourism in Taiwan. It is recommended to directly consult the local immigration bureau before handling.
