I am planning on going to Taiwan for close to 90 days, a period I am eligible for visa-free entry for. Would it be OK (or possible), for me to temporarily fly out of Taiwan just to get another 90 days, as necessary, e.g. do a visa run?

If it makes any difference, the reason for my visit is to visit my Taiwanese wife, who will be there to give birth to our son. We otherwise live and work full time in Japan.

In a long email correspondence with the Taiwanese authority in Japan, who were made aware of the full details of my situation, I received the following advice:

  • If the stay is known to exceed 90 days, it is recommended to get a visa
  • A visa run would reset the stay eligibility to 90 days from the day of re-entry

They never hinted on it being a problem.
