No more short-term visa for Taiwan

5 July 2010

Taiwanese citizens travelling to the EU for a shorter period of time will no longer need a visa, according to a new proposal put forward by EU Commissioner Cecilia Malmström today.

"I am glad to be able to put forward this proposal, which I hope will contribute towards strengthening EU-Taiwan relations. Not least since the EU is Taiwan's fourth largest trading partner", said Cecilia Malmström.
