VISA

中文

★According to the regulation of MOE, those who apply for a student visa must take at least 15 hours of class per week.

★After four months of consecutive study at the CLC, with good academic records, students are able to go to National Immigration to apply to change their visitor visas to alien residential visas.

★Student who is absent for more than one-third of total course hours is not allowed to extend visa and apply for alien residential visa.

★Please note that Taiwan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs sometimes requires students to have a guarantor or contact person before a visa is issued. According to the policy of the Ministry of Education, the CLC staff is not allowed to act as a guarantor.

★Be sure that you understand the rules and regulations regarding visas before you leave your country. For further details, contact the nearest Taiwan embassy, consulate or representative agency, or check the following websites:
