According to Google Maps reviews, the Taiwan consulate in Hanoi only processes visa applications from people with long-term legal status in Vietnam — such as a residence permit, work visa, or student visa. Those on tourist visas are turned away and told to apply in their home country.

An alternative worth exploring is applying for a Taiwan visa at the consulate in Ho Chi Minh City. Conditions there may differ, though there is no confirmed success record for tourist-visa holders.
