Personal photography needs no permit. Avoid military installations.
Drone / airspace
Regulated by the CAA; registration and local-government approval required, with no-fly zones near airports and military sites
Tourists can apply on arrival. For detail, see Drone Authority.
Street / public space
Yes, generally allowed, but the Personal Data Protection Act and portrait rights apply to commercial publication
Get releases for commercial use of identifiable people.
Freedom of panorama
Full, with limits
Copyright Act Article 58 lets you exploit architecture and art displayed long-term outdoors, but Article 58(4) bars reproducing an artwork solely to sell copies of it, so public art as the main subject is not allowed.
Practical notes
- Sell architectural images of Taipei 101; a print whose focus is a living artist's outdoor sculpture can infringe.
- Temples generally allow personal photos but may restrict tripods, commercial shoots, and ritual areas.
