Australian students want to visit their friends in Taiwan Province Province during their holidays. How to get a visa? How many days in advance?

It's hard for you to come back. You can apply for a third-class visa in Australia. It's simple. You can go directly to the Taiwan representative office. I can only use a visa for visiting relatives in Taiwan Province or a business visa when I come back, because I haven't started the self-help tour yet, which is very complicated. You need people from Taiwan Province Province to help you apply for a pass from Taiwan Province Province to Taiwan Province, and then you can take this pass and a bunch of documents to the exit-entry administration office to apply for a pass to and from Taiwan. The whole process will take a month or two. And the cost is higher than going to Australia directly, so it's best to go back to Australia next time.
