  Countries with Representative Offices of Taiwan

The diplomatic missions of Taiwan include embassies and representative offices. Due to the special political status, the Republic of China (Taiwan) only maintains a handful of full-fledged diplomatic missions abroad. Notably, Taiwan is one of the few countries in the world that has resident embassies in all of the countries with which it has diplomatic relations.

In countries with which Taiwan does not have diplomatic relations, unofficial intermediary bodies, whose heads are nonetheless appointed by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, are maintained for routine matters that would otherwise be handled by embassies or consulates, such as passport and visa issuance, assistance for citizens in distress, trade, cultural and economic relations, etc. These offices are usually titled "Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office" or "Taipei Representative Office". Owing to the One-China policy practised by many states, very few countries allow unofficial Taiwanese missions to operate under the country's official name, but among those that do are Fiji, Jordan, Papua New Guinea, Ecuador, Nigeria and the United Arab Emirates. In turn, the major countries of the world maintain missions in Taipei, such as the American Institute in Taiwan, that take on the functions of embassies.

Taiwan is represented in an unofficial capacity in the two Special Administrative Regions of China. In Hong Kong the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office, Hong Kong provides a limited range of services on behalf of the Taiwanese government, working strictly in an unofficial capacity [1]. The service was previously managed by Taiwan's foreign ministry until Hong Kong's handover in 1997; it is now administered by the Mainland Affairs Council [2]. In Macau, the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Macau works under a similar remit. In addition, under a mechanism established in 2010, governments of Taiwan and Hong Kong engage through representation by the Taiwan-Hong Kong Economic and Cultural Co-operation Council (ECCC) and Hong Kong-Taiwan Economic and Cultural Co-operation and Promotion Council (ECCPC) respectively.
