One Last Note - Visa

As the EAP office told you, you're supposed to get a 60 day visitor visa for Taiwan. IF you are only there for a semester, you DON'T need to get the ARC (alien resident card) unless you want to. Otherwise you have the option of just renewing your VISA for another 60 days--you can renew your visa twice giving you another 120 days.

To do this you have to go to the police station next to Xi Men Ding. You need:
1) your passport
2) your NTU ID
3) the letters from NTU that says your a student there
4) MORE passport photos

I can't remember how much money you need, but its less than the couple thousand NT that you need for the ARC.

You absolutely CANNOT let your visa expire before you leave, even if its by one day. If you do the consequences are:
1) 1000NT fine
2) you get "blacklisted" and you're not allowed back in taiwan without a visa...for a year.

Don't forget to renew your visa before it expires on you! So get it done before your 60 days are up!

HAPPY TIMES IN TAIWAN!!!
