Visa Application

這是一張圖片

nternational students must apply for a valid Resident Visa in order to study in Taiwan; and the admission letter is necessary but not sufficient to guarantee a Resident Visa. Your highest-level diploma and an affidavit of financial support for visa application must be authenticated by Taiwan Embassy or Representative Office near you and the process may take about one month to complete. Those who fail to obtain a Resident Visa may receive a Visitor Visa to enter into Taiwan. In that case, students must spend another NT$3,000 to change their visa status first before applying for Alien Resident Certificate (ARC). We thus strongly suggest you to start the paperwork soon so as to enroll in time. For detail information, please visit the following web site and find an embassy or consulate of Taiwan near you.
