The Taiwanese Government offers a variety of scholarships for international students. Please direct your inquiries to the Taiwan consular office in your home country. The University offers the NCHU International Scholarship available to both new and current students. Semesterly teaching assistant stipends are also available to graduate students who serve concurrently as teaching assistants.
International students must obtain an alien resident visa at the Taiwan consular office in your home country before entering Taiwan. You must then apply for an alien resident certificate (ARC) on the National Immigration Agency website within 30 days of your arrival. Regular international students should be able to obtain an ARC that is valid for anywhere from 1 to 3 years, which may be renewed upon expiry.
International students who wish to work in Taiwan (including in NCHU laboratories) for additional income must apply for a work permit. Once all tuition and fees are paid for the semester, students may apply online for a work permit valid for 1 year. Each student may work up to 20 hours per week (excluding summer/winter vacation). Violators’ permits will be revoked.
