If instead you intend to remain more than 180 days, apply for a resident visa (and an Alien Resident Card, ARC). The resident visa and ACR can be requested beginning with your 121st day in Taiwan on your student visa.<\/p>\n<p>Important: while in the past it was possible to obtain a student visa and stay in Taiwan also for long periods without going to school, today it is no longer possible: to get &#8211; and renew &#8211; a tourist visa, you must enroll in a course of at least 15 hours a week. If you skip 11 or more hours of lessons in a month, the immigration office will refuse to renew your visa.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the necessary documents to renew your student visa:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Document of enrollment from the school.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Document showing the hours you were in class the month before renewal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Document showing the hours you were in class the month of the renewal (necessary only if you are renewing your visa after the fifteenth of the month).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Passport and photocopy of the passport.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"visa-taiwan-4\">How can I get a work permit, a resident Visa and an ARC?<\/h2>\n<p>We&#8217;ve already seen how one can get a resident visa and an ARC (Alien Resident Card, or the document that allows you to enter and exit Taiwan without needing other visas, to live there, to enter the national health system, etc) as a student. If however you intend to work in Taiwan, the procedure is a bit different.<\/p>\n<p>In particular you must arrive in Taiwan (for example on a visitor or work visa, for which an invitation is necessary), find a job, get a work permit (which you must get from your Taiwanese employer, <a title=\"Chinese Visa application: a complete guide\" href=\"https:\/\/www.saporedicina.com\/english\/chinese-visa-application\/\" >how it goes in China<\/a>), get permission to live in Taiwan long-term (or a resident visa, which again would come through your employer) and, lastly, obtain an ARC (which you can apply for at the immigration office once you have your work permit and resident visa). Many <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saporedicina.com\/english\/open-company-in-taiwan\/\" >foreigners come to Taiwan<\/a> to teach foreign languages. <\/p>\n<p>Important: The only way to legally work in Taiwan is to have a work permit. As was already mentioned, it is your employer that must request the permit, presenting their business license, your contract, your resume and your passport to the Labor Department. To get the permit requires several weeks, and until you get it, you can&#8217;t work.<\/p>\n<p>If you found work before coming to Taiwan (perhaps you found it on the internet) you can ask your employer to request your permit right away so that it will be ready when you get there. In this case you can begin working right away.<\/p>\n<p>One last note: a work permit is valid only for the company that has requested it. In the event that you wish to change jobs, you must first find a new employer that will request another permit on your behalf.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"visa-taiwan-5\">Can I get a visa while I&#8217;m already in Taiwan?<\/h2>\n<p>Yes, in certain circumstances it is possible to come to Taiwan without a visa, obtain a work permit and apply for a visitor visa. When applying for your ARC you must however change your visa (from a visitor visa to a resident visa).<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"visa-taiwan-6\">Joint Family Residence Visa (JFRV)<\/h2>\n<p>If you are married to a Taiwanese resident you can apply for a Joint Family Residence Visa (JFRV). If more than simply living in Taiwan, your wife (or your husband) is also a Taiwanese citizen, then the JFRV also gives you permission to work.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"visa-taiwan-7\">Alien Permanent Resident Certificate (APRC)<\/h2>\n<p>If you manage to keep your ARC for five continuous years (as an employee, not as a student) or your JFRV, then you may get an Alien Permanent Resident Certificate (APRC). This document will allow you to reside in Taiwan and work at your leisure without requiring an employer to sponsor you.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"visa-taiwan-8\">Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n<div itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/FAQPage\">\n<div itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n<div itemprop=\"name\" class=\"accordionsdc\">Do Philippine passport holders need a visa to Taiwan?<\/div>\n<div itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\" class=\"faqpanel\">\n<div itemprop=\"text\">No, Filipinos are exempt from having visas when travelling to Taiwan until July 31st, 2019, If a visa will be needed after this date, you\u2019re still capable of applying for a an e-visa and you won\u2019t need to visit an embassy to apply for the visa.

The penalties have even been dropped from 10,000 Taiwanese Dollars (325 US dollars) down to 2,000 Taiwanese Dollars. Yet, you might risk getting banned from entering Taiwan for up to 1 year.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n<div itemprop=\"name\" class=\"accordionsdc\">Can Chinese visit Taiwan?<\/div>\n<div itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\" class=\"faqpanel\">\n<div itemprop=\"text\">Yes, nowadays they can. It\u2019s always been fairly easy for Taiwanese to visit mainland China, but not always easy for mainland Chinese to visit Taiwan. That\u2019s only since recently.<\/p>\n<p> If you\u2019re from mainland China and want to travel to Taiwan ROC, you need to have a so called \u2018Entering into Taiwan Permit for Chinese\u2019 or a \u2018Free travel permit in Taiwan for Chinese\u2019. The expiration is 15 days.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cta-big\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.visahq.com\/taiwan\/?a_aid=vaff8253\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Need help to get you Taiwanese visa? <br \/>Click here to find out more!<\/a><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"credits\">Photo Credits: <a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/2.0\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.saporedicina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/icon\/cc.png\" alt=\"Creative Commons License\" width=\"14\" height=\"14\"\/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ken_mayer\/3408501848\/in\/photolist-7uSWUd-4TtaS4-6EwMks-6EwMjm-pripqq-5PfZnW-2iyGeA6-8Svyek-68wh99-61y315-6ccsRf-29FEMos-6xQdKW-7f7rp7-9ozx6p-qUT77-4t8Jgg-9oKapx-7UQzYG-qUSZx-qUTdE-8NDkqc-2cnPcYu-QjpT9d-QjpK57-Qjrafj-Qjr5mm-Qjr8as-2b4vBQx-29FDo9y-29FBuy1-QjraN3-29FBv25-2bmaRgs-2b4vD6D-dM1FVw-2cnPDXy-6TFWnM-2cnPDaG-ssDkT-4ncNJw-72r4WZ-NFYmM4-2bmdP9f-8Rbi28-2iBYumQ-4xEoZK-8mfxv-8RepX1-4xEpiF\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Passport21<\/a> by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ken_mayer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Ken Mayer<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-nd\/2.0\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.saporedicina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/icon\/cc.png\" alt=\"Creative Commons License\" width=\"14\" height=\"14\"\/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/jennifer-kecl\/4956450031\/in\/photolist-8xZ6V2-ohSdNv-cyHrHU-cCbERY-cvEHfW-f61dwx-pUjZ9F-Lmv6St-rQ852B-cWBdaQ-m8XJrr-cv7CfJ-cBtXAw-26pwyKC-eQR7P1-2a4wkYL-eR4hYx-cBWYPd-cUCee7-cYfKvq-eUrLjy-cBX1Qw-f7ykYS-cJ2MNY-dS8E4z-eQQv8J-xo6hR8-rNmzus-cCPTQw-kXXUUF-pmpDJh-cGhYRw-27aHw5m-oUQWYr-eZzW59-cnLtC1-e2RpNg-e1ALS1-2j6QeFW-r9Leqx-r3dSGi-GFhidU-JWs7DL-FVNqC9-L8hCHq-2jxQfRk-2j6LaYj-2jdmfCu-2jcYNfY-2fdRdRg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Taipei 101 Skyscraper<\/a> by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/jennifer-kecl\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Jennifer \u771f\u6ce5\u4f5b<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Need help to get you Taiwanese visa?
