VISA & ARC 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 letters of acceptance (both Chinese and English) from NTU. Look up Embassies and Missions closest to you. If you are Mainland China Passport holder or, please apply for an Entry Permit (入臺證) through the assistance of NTU. Find out more in the Guide for Mainland China Passport Holders (.pdf 131 KB). 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. 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) simultaneously. The ARC for exchange students is valid for one year and cannot be extended.
Insurance and Health Exam Requirement
NTU Insurance Policy Please provide a proof of accident and medical insurance worth a minimum of TWD 1,000,000 (approx. USD 34,000) valid for the entire exchange period. If you hold an Alien Residence Card (ARC) and have met the six-month minimum residency requirement, you can choose to join the National Health Insurance (NHI) with limited coverage.
NTU Health Exam Policy You can fulfill the requirements of the NTU Health Exam Form by using the following methods: 1. Get the health exam done in your home country, then upload the NTU Health Exam Form by September 01 (First semester) / February 01 (Second semester), or submit it on registration day. 2. If you couldn’t get the health exam done in your home country, and your exchange duration is one semester, you can take the exam at NTU Hospital once you’ve arrived in Taiwan, then submit the form on registration day. However, if you need to change to a Resident Visa in Taiwan, you should take the exam at one of the designated hospitals appointed by the Center for Disease Control, asking them to fill in the results of the NTU Health Form.

Several campus tour groups will also be especially arranged for incoming students, before or after Orientation.
