At the start of October 2025, the American Institute in Taiwan (AIT) announced that its scheduled passport, visa, and American citizen services at its Taipei Office will continue despite a lapse in appropriations. The Kaohsiung Office will also maintain scheduled passport and American citizen services during this period.

AIT advised those seeking information about their services or operating status to visit travel.state.gov for updates.

The organization stated, "This website will not be regularly updated until full operations resume, with the exception of emergency safety and security information."
