One group agreement or destination policy can support many passport relationships. Dates are recorded only when an official source establishes them.

  1. Visa required

    Named ordinary passports: pre-entry visa required

    The Ministry of National Security's live notice expressly identifies twelve passport nationalities for which a visa is required for entry, including Bangladesh and Nepal, and directs use of its new visa-application platform.

    • Applies to the listed nationalities' ordinary-passport short-visitor baseline; the notice does not establish treatment for diplomatic, official, service, refugee, emergency, stateless, residence or other special documents.
    • The Ministry requires a pre-entry visa application and identifies supporting evidence, including passport bio page, photograph, sponsor letter, police certificate, financial evidence and, where applicable, accommodation, charter and itinerary evidence.
    • The online Ministry service accepts an application, documents and payment. The reviewed official sources do not say that the entry visa itself is issued electronically, so this is not normalized as eVisa.
    • Final admission, visitor-permit duration, extension, onward travel, funds, purpose, security and other immigration controls remain separate from the pre-entry visa requirement.

    Taiwan ordinary passports: named visa-free short visits

    Taiwan MOFA BOCA's current outbound schedule places these destinations in its visa-free category for Taiwanese travellers.

    • This is the ordinary Taiwanese-passport short-visitor baseline recorded in BOCA's current visa-free schedule; destination rules, stay limits and entry conditions can change.
    • It excludes work, residence, transit-only facilities, emergency or other non-ordinary travel documents, carrier controls and individual final-admission decisions.

    Saint Vincent and the Grenadines residual ordinary passports: visitor visa-free entry

    The dated National Security notice exhaustively names twelve nationalities requiring entry visas. All 159 residual ordinary passports are outside that list, and Passport and Immigration grants an arrival entry permit to other international countries.

    • Applies to the listed residual ordinary-passport nationalities for a short visitor stay. The sources do not distinguish special passport classes, so this records only the catalog ordinary-passport baseline. The 12 nationalities expressly requiring entry visas are outside this batch.
    • Passport and Immigration says entry permits are granted on arrival; its 'Other International Countries' line states three months. Foreign Affairs instead says a majority of foreign nationals receive one month, so no uniform stay duration is normalized.
    • The dated National Security notice is the controlling nationality rule: it presents the twelve countries for which a visa is required and gives an effective date. The undated central visitor and National Security application pages retain a shorter ten-country list, while Foreign Affairs says thirteen but displays ten; none names a residual passport as visa-required.
    • An entry permit is not normalized as a visa on arrival. Passport and Immigration describes the arrival document as a permit, while Foreign Affairs separately calls ordinary visitor treatment visa-free.
    • Work, residence, extension, CSME, diplomatic, official, service, emergency, refugee, stateless and other special-document treatment, final admission, health, funds and security requirements remain outside this baseline.
