Foreign Embassies in Taiwan

Go to: » Australian » Canadian » New Zealand » South African » United Kingdom » United States

First, one needs to at least be familiar with the question of whether Taiwan really is an independent sovereign nation. Most say no, Taiwan is a part of the Republic of China, while some argue that it is indeed it's own sovereign nation. Whatever you decide the implications are that some countries do not identify their representation in Taiwan as official "embassies".

This list only includes representation from those countries from which we represent English teachers.
