I'm traveling from LA to Bali, with a 4 hour layover in Taiwan. Would I need to go through customs in Taipei?
Additionally, do I need to hold any special visas upon entry to Bali? Or am I granted one upon entry?
Best Answer
No, Taipei airport has airside transit, so you do not need to go through customs in Taiwan, assuming you have a single ticket.
Also for Bali you'll be getting a free Indonesian visa now, as long as you're leaving Indonesia through Bali or other approved airports. Visas are free since mid-March 2016 (as usual, they made them free two days after I entered Indonesia :()

Do you need a visa for a layover in Taiwan?
Taiwanese visa law also states that any visitor wishing to pass through Taiwan to a third destination will not need a transit visa, as long as they do not go through immigration control.Do I need a visa for a layover country?
One of those layovers is within the United States. This means that you will have to transit through the US. To do this, you will need a Transit Visa for USA. A US Transit Visa is a permit to to enter the US and stay for a layover.i
