Taiwan passport

Visa requirements for Taiwan (R.O.C) passport holders are administrative entry restrictions by the authorities of other states placed on Republic of China nationals who hold Household registration, and thus right of abode in Taiwan.,[1] (i.e. "registered nationals") and those who do not ("unregistered nationals"). In the case they hold the household registration, they are entitled to a ROC ID Card[disambiguation needed] and the number of that card is printed in the passport. Several countries and territories have more favorable visa regimes for those holding passports with this identity card number.

This article deals with holders of Taiwan passport containing an identity card number.
