Applying for a national park drone operation permit 🇹🇼 (2021-10)

How to apply for a Kenting National Park 墾丁國家公園 drone operation permit?
Preparations for aerial filming (drone) at Kenting National Park as a hobbyist are as follows. Register the drone online with Civil Aeronautics Administration Drone Office of Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) of the Republic of China at https://drone.caa.gov.tw/en-US .
Select tentative locations that promise nice imagery as an advance planing of the shoot areas.
A (free) permit is required for drone operation within the park boundaries. Related information is available on the Kenting National Park website https://www.ktnp.gov.tw/ (Chinese only).
The drone operation permit application form can be downloaded from the Kenting National Park website https://www.ktnp.gov.tw/ (Chinese language only).
The filled out drone operation permit application form then needs to be mailed to the Kenting National Park headquarters. This should be done at least one week ahead of the intended park visit.
The drone operation permit will then be mailed back to you. It includes some rules as well (Chinese language only).
Besides following the National Park rules for drone operation the CAA regulations apply of course as well. See in particular the airspace query section at https://drone.caa.gov.tw/ .Show more
