No. The TPASS has no restrictions based on nationality. Anyone holding an eligible electronic card may purchase a TPASS.

Because Senior, Concession, and other special cards already receive statutory public transport fare discounts, TPASS plans are not sold for these card types.

1. Your electronic card must have sufficient stored value, or, if using a co-branded credit card, auto top-up must be enabled. (For example, to purchase a NT$999 Taichung–Changhua–Nantou–Miaoli TPASS, your card balance must be at least NT$999.)
2. To receive the Taichung Citizen Discount, you must first complete the Taichung Citizen card binding procedure.
3. If your current regional TPASS has not yet expired, you may renew it with the same electronic card within 10 days before the expiration date. The renewed TPASS will take effect the day after the previous one expires and does not require reactivation.
4. Each electronic card can only hold one TPASS plan at a time, and a new TPASS from another region or system cannot be purchased until the current one expires. For example, if your card already has an active Northern Taiwan (Taipei–New Taipei–Keelung–Taoyuan) TPASS, you cannot purchase the Taichung City TPASS, Changhua County TPASS, Nantou County TPASS, or the Taichung–Changhua–Nantou–Miaoli TPASS.
