• The ban is not applicable to Chinese nationals or non-Chinese nationals holding an ARC.
  • Chinese nationals or individuals holding an ARC must undergo a mandatory quarantine at designated group quarantine facilities if they have traveled in or through India within 14 days of arrival into Taiwan.
  • PRC tests will be administered upon arrival and before the quarantine period is completed.
  • After receiving a second negative test, individuals must complete a seven-day, self-health management.
