Visa
After being admitted by NTPU, you need to apply for a Residential Visa from the embassies and missions in your local country.
There are two ways for you to apply for a Residential Visa,
- You can contact the nearest Taiwanese embassy, consulate, or representative office in your country of residence.
- If you are already in Taiwan with a Visitor Visa and qualified for applying for a Resident Visa with the purpose of undertaking studies, you can go to the Bureau of Consular Affairs, or any of its branch offices for application.
Taiwan has over 109 embassies and missions in 73 countries. If there are no Taiwanese embassies or missions in your country, you can contact the nearest one in your neighbouring countries or any embassies and missions around the world at your convenience. To find the embassies and missions, please check the List of Embassies and Missions
