【Application and Notification Process】

  1. The National Immigration Agency (NIA) will notify you via email once your application has been approved. Make the payment online or at the convenience stores.

  3. Then please download the receipt from the NIA system and submit it to the OIA.

【Remarks】

  • Resident Visa holders MUST apply for ARC within 30 days of arriving in Taiwan, and are responsible for any registration delay and potential ARC overdue penalties.
  • The application won't be accepted if required documents are missing or if the uploaded photo does not meet the requirements.
  • The OIA will collect the ARC card for new international students in Taoyuan City; residents in other cities MUST collect the ARC themselves. If you urgently need your ARC, please go to the National Immigration Agency to pick it up in person.
  • Students must apply online for an ARC extension within three months before their residence permit expires and collect it in person at the Immigration Agency.
