Q1：如何申請簽證？我應該申請什麼種類的簽證？How to apply for a visa? What type of visas should I apply for?
A1：簽證申請人應在線上填表系統，填寫申請表。至本中心學習中文的學生，應選擇「停留簽證」（Visitor Visa），目的為中文研習 （研習中文的簽證代碼為FR）。送出表格後，請列印出來，再到您選擇的中華民國駐外大使館或辦事處，繳交本中心入學許可信及相關申請文件。
Students should apply and present the NPTU Language Center admission letter to the nearest ROC embassy, consulate, or representative agency for a visitor visa. Admission letters are only valid for the term applied for. Be sure to apply for a visitor visa specifying study at the NPTU Language Center (visa code: FR.)
Q2：持有停留簽證可以在臺灣停留多久？How long can I stay on a visitor visa?
A2：駐外單位核發研習中文簽證時，通常會核發60天或90天的可延長簽證。可延長的簽證可延長兩次，最長可停留180天。若駐外單位核發的簽證是不可延長的，或是延長申請被駁回，簽證持有人必須在停留期滿前離開臺灣，重新申請簽證。
Usually, FR visas allow holders to remain in Taiwan for 60 or 90 days. Extendable visas may be extended for a maximum stay of up to 180 days. If visas are non- extendable or when no further extensions are granted, the holders must leave Taiwan to obtain a new visa.
Q3：我的國家屬於30天免簽證入境的國家，我可以不申請簽證，直接來華語中心就讀嗎？My country is on the list of 30-days visa exempt countries. Can I come to study without applying for a visa?
A3：由於30天免簽證無法延長期限，30天期滿後必須出境，才能重新申請簽證。因此，申請正期班（3個月或2個月）的學生，請不要以30天免簽證的方式入境，減少頻繁出境之擾。
As a 30-day visa-exempt entry is not extendable, students must leave Taiwan to apply for a new visa from abroad after the visa exemption period expires. For students’ convenience, we do not recommend students to come to Taiwan on 30-day visa-exempt entry since a regular term at NPTU Language Center lasts for 3 months.
Q4：我的國家屬於90日免簽證入境的國家，我可以不申請簽證，直接來華語中心就讀嗎？My country is on the list of 90-days visa exempt countries. Can I come to study without applying for a visa?
A4：可以。90日免簽證的停留期限足夠完成本中心一期的課程，但由於入境日期將影響您的上課天數，因此您很可能因為較早入境而無法上完最後幾天的課程，請參考本中心行事曆，安排行程後再決定是否申請簽證。若您計畫在臺灣就讀兩期或以上的課程，且不想每90天就離境臺灣一次，可事先申請研習華語的停留簽證。
As 90-days visa-exempt entry allows students enough time to complete one term’s study with NPTU Language Center, it is possible to come to Taiwan without applying for a visa. However, you may miss a few days of class depending on the date of your entry, please consult NPTU Language Center's calendar before making your travel plans. Make sure your passport has at least 6-months of validity upon entry. You must also present a confirmed seat reservation for departure to the immigration officers.
Attention: 90-days visa-exempt entry is not extendable (except for UK & Canada citizens,) students must leave Taiwan and enter again if they wish to continue their studies. If you plan to study in Taiwan for a longer period of time and do not wish to leave Taiwan every 90 days, we still recommend that you obtain an extendable visa before coming to Taiwan.
Q5：我的簽證將在課程結束的前幾天到期，我還可以延長簽證，完成課程嗎？My visa will EXPIRE just a few days before the last day of class. Can I still extend my visa to complete my study?
A5：如果簽證到期日離開課程最後一天相差不遠，學生可以向移民署申請寬限期（通常不會超過10天），以完成課業。請注意：簽證是否能夠延長，需依移民署官員的裁量而定。
If the expiration date is not far away from the last day of class, students may apply for an extension for a short grace period (usually no more than 10 days) so they can complete their study and leave Taiwan without applying for a new visa. However, please note that only the Immigration Agency holds the authority to grant/deny extensions.
Q6：我想要就讀三期以上，在臺灣會停留超過180天，就讀期間，我可以不用離開臺灣申請簽證嗎？I want to study for three terms or longer. How can I stay longer without having to leave the country?
A6：學生在台連續居住120天，期間沒有出境，成績和出席紀錄良好，並有意在國語中心就讀三期以上，可以申請居留簽證（Resident Visa）。申請流程請見第7個問題。申請到居留簽證後，將可取得居留證（ARC）。請注意，外交部有時候會要求居留簽證的申請人提供保證人，本中心無法為學生擔任保證人。
Students who have studied in the NPTU Language Center for 4 months consecutively and have never left Taiwan during the period can apply for a resident visa if they wish to study for three terms or more. With a resident visa, they may apply for an Alien Resident Certificate (ARC). Please note that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs sometimes requires a guarantor before a resident visa can be issued. NPTU Language Center does not act as a guarantor for any student.

Students who have studied in a language center for one year and have an ARC can apply for a part-time work permit. Foreigners who don't have a work permit cannot work in Taiwan.
