We recommend students obtain a RESIDENT VISA prior to entering Taiwan since ONLY a RESIDENT VISA holder can apply for an Alien Resident Certificate (ARC). The holder of a visitor visa may spend a lot of time changing it to a resident visa. Applicants are required to do the Type B health check-up and go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) to apply for a visa change.

由於持有停留簽證者無法申請居留證（ARC），我們強烈建議您先取得居留簽證（resident visa）後再入台。停留簽證轉換為居留簽證之程序複雜且費時，必須先取得乙式體檢並親自至外交部轉換簽證。
