【ExchangeStudent】VISA & ARC in NTU

Visa

Before you enter Taiwan, you should apply for a Resident or Visitor Visa from the Taiwanese Embassy or Mission in your residence country with acceptance letter (both Chinese and English) and admission letter (only in Chinese) from NTU. Look up Embassies and Missions closest to you.

Please note that if you fail to obtain visa issued from Taiwanese Embassies or being rejected, the exchange student identity will also be canceled.

If you are a Mainland China Passport holder, you will need to enter Taiwan with an Entry Permit (入臺證). According to regulation of National Immigration Agency, we will help you to apply for an Entry Permit. Find out more in the Guide for Mainland China Passport Holders.

ARC

Will you stay in Taiwan for one academic year?

If so：once you have registered at NTU, you can apply for a Resident Visa at the Bureau of Consular Affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs if you entered Taiwan on a Visitor Visa.

As soon as you receive your Resident Visa, you have 15 days to apply for an Alien Residence Certificate (ARC) at the National Immigration Agency in Taipei. You can also request a Re-entry Permit (多重入國許可) in the meantime.

The ARC for exchange students is valid for one year and cannot be extended.
