Students applying from abroad who have received a formal letter of admission should apply to the nearest ROC embassy, consulate or representative agency for a visitor visa. Extendible and non-extendible visitor visas are issued to students. Most allow the holder to remain in Taiwan for 60 days. The former may be extended twice for a maximum stay of up to 180 days. If the visa is non-extendable or when no further extensions will be granted, the holder must leave Taiwan for a short time. If the visa is not valid for multiple entries, a new visa must be obtained from abroad. Student should pay close attention to the date stamped by customs upon entry into Taiwan. Since visitor visas are limited to 6 months (180 days), students planning to study for two terms should be aware that the expiration date may fall before the end of the term. Students who have been issued a 14 or 30 day landing visa should note that this visa is non-extendable, and requires that the student leave the ROC after the stipulated duration and apply for a new visa from abroad. After four months of consecutive study at the MTC, students in good academic standing who plan to continue studying at the MTC may apply to change their visitor visa to a resident visa, with which they can apply to become a registered alien. Please note that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs sometimes requires students to have a guarantor before a visa can issued. Due to Ministry of Education policy, the MTC is unable to act as a guarantor. Please be sure you understand the rules and regulations regarding visas before you leave your country. For further details, contact the nearest ROC embassy, consulate or representative agency.
