Taiwan, officially the Republic of China, has 112 diplomatic and representative missions across the world . Because many countries have a One China Policy that acknowledges the existence of a single China with varying attitudes toward Taiwan's status, no country simultaneously holds diplomatic relations with the Republic of China (Taiwan) and the People's Republic of China. As most countries have changed their recognition to the latter over time, only 13 of Taiwan's diplomatic missions have official status, consisting of twelve embassies and one Apostolic Nunciature. This makes Taiwan one of the few countries in the world that has resident embassies in all of the states with which it has formal diplomatic relations.

Despite these barriers, about 60 United Nations members maintain relations with Taiwan on an unofficial basis. In addition, Taiwan has official relations with the Order of Malta, a UN observer entity and Somaliland, a state with limited recognition. To serve these locations and other places throughout the world, 91 semi-official representative offices are utilized for matters that would otherwise be handled by embassies or consulates. Their heads are still appointed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, making them de facto missions. Owing to pressure from the People's Republic, most of these offices cannot operate under either the country's official or common name, using the name of the capital Taipei instead to avoid addressing Taiwan's political status. There have recently been two notable exceptions to this; the offices in Somaliland (opened 2020) and Lithuania (2021) use "Taiwan" in their names. Taiwan also maintains permanent missions to the European Union and the World Trade Organization, with the latter under the name "Separate Customs Territory of Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen and Matsu".

Taiwan has also established informal representation in China's two Special Administrative Regions. In Hong Kong, the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office, Hong Kong provides services similar to a consulate, while relations to Macau are handled by the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office, Macau. In addition, under a mechanism established in 2010, the Taiwanese government is directly represented in negotiations with its Hong Kong counterpart by the Taiwan–Hong Kong Economic and Cultural Co-operation Council (ECCC), with the latter operating a similar office in reciprocation. Taiwan also maintains unofficial diplomatic exchanges with China using the Straits Exchange Foundation, but the organization does not have a physical presence in mainland China as of 2020.
