Mr. John D. TaylorTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on the visa requirements for persons from Taiwan seeking to enter and work in the United Kingdom; and in which currency they are required to pay for visas in Taiwan before departure. [56706]
§ Mr. FatchettAll Taiwan passport holders require a visa to enter and work in the United Kingdom. The requirements will vary according to the type of work. For certain categories of employment, a Work Permit issued by the Department for Education and Employment is also required. Visas are paid for in local currency; in this case the New Tawain Dollar.
