Ireland grants 90-day visa free entry to Taiwanese

The Republic of Ireland has granted 90-day visa-free entry to Taiwanese citizens starting from July 1st. The announcement was made by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Wednesday.
In a quid pro quo response, the foreign ministry says that Irish passport holders will also be able to stay for 90 days in Taiwan without requiring a visa.
Earlier this year the United Kingdom granted visa-free entry for Taiwanese citizens on non-working holidays for up to six months. The foreign ministry says it will continue to push for visa-free entry for Taiwanese passport holders for the United States, Canada and the Schengen Convention countries of the European Union.
