Mainland Travel Permit for Taiwan Resident
The Mainland Travel Permit for Taiwan Resident (also known as the Taiwan Compatriot Permit or Taiwan Compatriot Pass) is a travel document issued by the Exit and Entry Administration of the People's Republic of China. This card-size biometric document is issued to Taiwan residents for traveling to mainland China. Since 2017, Taiwan residents with this document can stay in mainland China indefinitely for any purpose, including working and studying, with no restriction imposed.
Due to the special political status of Taiwan, neither the PRC nor the ROC recognizes the passports issued by the other and neither considers travel between mainland China and Taiwan as formal international travel. This permit is therefore issued as the travel document for Taiwanese residents to enter mainland China since 1987, when the then President of the Republic of China Chiang Ching-kuo decided to lift the mutual travel ban across the Taiwan Strait.[citation needed]
This entry permit serves also as the de facto ID card for ROC nationals who are residents of Taiwan in mainland China. As a result, the permit can be accepted in cases of real estate purchasing, banking, medical treatment, insurance, employment, and more.[citation needed]
Due to its usage as an ID card and the increasing instances of Taiwanese's long-time stay and settlement in mainland China, the Taiwan Affairs Office announced that effective from 24 September 2008, the serial number of the Mainland Travel Permit for Taiwan Resident will remain unchanged for the person's lifetime. The permit served as a de facto identification card for Taiwan residents in mainland China until the Residence Permit for Taiwan Residents was issued in September 2018.[citation needed]
Taiwanese can apply for the permit in China Travel Service's Hong Kong or Macau branches or through travel agencies in Taiwan. Renewals can be done in CTS branches in Hong Kong and Macau, travel agencies in Taiwan, as well as Exit and Entry Administration bureaus in mainland China.
The single-entry travel permit (not to be confused with "entry endorsements", now abolished) is intended for Taiwanese residents who have never held the travel permit, or whose travel permit has recently expired, and who need to travel to mainland China. To be eligible, the applicant must hold their Taiwanese passport with remaining validity for more than six months, in conjunction with the person's Taiwanese ID card as well as two 2-inch photos. Some airports may require additional documents, such as a return ticket or an invitation letter. Eligible airports are: Shenyang, Qingdao, Dalian, Shanghai, Fuzhou, Xiamen, Wuhan, Chengdu, Haikou, Sanya, Beijing, Nanjing, Chongqing, Hangzhou, Guilin, Shenzhen, Xi'an, Changsha, Kunming, Harbin, Ningbo, Wuxi, Nanning, Wenzhou, Yancheng, Xuzhou, Zhengzhou, Changchun, Yantai, Tianjin, Jinan, Guiyang, Quanzhou, Nanchang and Hefei. The single-entry travel permit is valid for a stay up to 3 months. Holder of a valid, long-term travel permit is not eligible to use this service, they must instead carry the long-term permit or will be refused entry for not doing so.
All new long-term permits issued after 2015 have taken the design of the (current) ID card, although short-term (single-entry) travel permits appear more like the previous passport-book style travel permit.
The ID-card style permit is designed and produced in accordance to ICAO standards, and contains a contactless integrated circuit chip equipped with many anti-counterfeiting and digital security technologies. The front side of the card includes personal information like the bearer's photo, names in Chinese and English, date of birth, and sex, and document information like the period of validity, issuing authority and location, permit number, and the number of issuances. The reverse side of the card includes the bearer's name and ID number as listed on the ROC national identity card, the machine-readable zone, and any comments in regards to any of the bearer's previous travel permits.
