The German Institute Taipei ( German: Deutsches Institut Taipei); ( Chinese: 德國在台協會; pinyin: Déguó Zài Tái Xiéhuì; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Tek-kok chāi Tâi Hia̍p-hōe) is the overseas representative office of Germany in Taiwan, which promotes the non-diplomatic German-Taiwanese relations [3] and looks after German interests there. [4] Tasks of the institution includes the increasing of bilateral cooperation (especially in the field of culture and economy), [3] dealing with consular affairs like Visa or passport, providing a variety of services for German citizens in Taiwan [5] and German-related information to Taiwanese people. [1] In some instances, it maintains contacts with Taiwanese government on behalf of the Federal Republic of Germany, acting as a de facto embassy. [6] Institute affairs are led by a Director General ( German: Generaldirektor), who acts as the German representative to Taiwan. [7]
Its counterpart in Germany is the Taipei Representative Office in the Federal Republic of Germany in Berlin. [8]
