i am an australian citizen living in taipei with a permanent resident identity card

Question

I am an Australian citizen living in Taipei with a Permanent Resident Identity Card issued in Taipei.To visit China will I need a visa or will the Identification Card and passport be sufficient. My wife and son have passports issued in Taipei along with Identification Cards and this gives them Visa-free entry to China.If I do need to apply for a visa where should I forward the application.Best wishes.

Mr.Mike · Answer

You need a tourist visa to visit China. The Permanent Residence Identity Card and Australia passport can't entitle you to enter China. I guess your wife and son hold the Entry Permit of Taiwan Residents to the Mainland, so they enjoy visa-free entry to China, Taiwai passport is not recognized by China government, Taiwan residents should hold Entry Permit of Taiwan Residents to the Mainland or China Travel Document to enter Mainland China.
