Urgent Taiwan VISA Help!

[expositox]

Hello! I'm currently in Taipei, but my Mum's in SG because her passport is left with 5 months 25 days validity (5 days past 6 months requirement).

May I know what does she need to do such that she can arrive ASAP? Does she need to visit Taiwan embassy or ICA? What are the fees involved?

Any help would be appreciated. I understand that today is Sunday so the offices will be close.

I flew here first without her cos it was a hasty decision made. We were only notified of the validity issue right before boarding the plane. My flight home is 6 days later.

Thanks in advance!

Renew passport at ICA.

And seriously, this oversight, unless she can get it done in one day at ICA sans your assistance.

Too late for your mom. She needs a passport renewal at the ica which takes about 2-3 weeks for the new passport to be issued. Buy her some souvenirs yar, there's always next time.

Try claim from travel insurance.

She looks certain to miss this trip. Nothing that the Taiwanese can do. She has to have a her passport renewed at ICA, and I doubt she can get it done before you come home. Perhaps she can visit Level 2 at ICA to make an urgent request for the Passport Officer, bringing all the tickets, itinerary, bookings etc. No guarantee, I think.

I believe can do.
But for an old folk to do this on their own, rather intimidating.
Doubt will be as successful.
Even for my mum to board the plane on her own and meet me on the other end, she's also not going to do so.
Rather miss the trip.

Which airline
I feel sq can arrange for someone to guide her in airport?
For passport , take pics then go down early
There's a hotline to call also? But guess must prepare to burn many hrs there.

Hi, you can try calling Taiwan immigration for advice. Normally Airline does that before deciding whether to accept pax
