Due to the impact of COVID-19, most of Taiwan's foreign offices will not issue visas to foreign nationals for "general social visits" , foreigners must come to Taiwan for work reasons to have a higher chance of coming to Taiwan (the policy is subject to change and will be adjusted from time to time). The prerequisite for obtaining a work visa is to obtain a work permit from the Ministry of Labor and a monthly salary of at least NT$47,971. For the relevant process, please refer to NCKU's "Implementation Directions for Recruiting Outstanding Talents".

After confirming with the CDC, due to the rapid changes of the epidemic and the fact that vaccinated persons do not mean they will not be infected, in order to avoid the risk of large-scale infection caused by asymptomatic infected persons entering Taiwan, the CDC still adopts a 10-day hotel quarantine plus 7 days of self-health management. For Taiwan's entry policy, please refer to the latest news from the "Centers for Disease Control" and the latest news from the "Bureau of Consular Affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs".

Yes, you can. Once you have obtained a visa and booked a flight, please forward the flight time to the department and provide the following information to the Overseas Students and Scholars Services of the International Office immediately.

2. Hotel budget (currently about NT$1500~4000 per day, including three meals)

3. Room facilities requirements (e.g. bathtub, desk, chair, window, etc.)

4. Other special services (whether to support delivery service, etc.)

Note 1: If a deposit is required to be paid in advance for the hotel, please confirm the advance payment mechanism with the scholar first (either by the department or by the scholars).

Note 2: In order to avoid compensation for damage to hotel equipment, scholars are requested to take photos and records of the hotel after staying in the hotel to avoid unreasonable compensation from the hotel later.

Note 3: Since the school is located in Tainan, scholars are advised to arrive at Kaohsiung Airport as far as possible to reduce the risk of moving from the north to the south.

For questions about self-health management accommodation and follow-up on-campus dormitories after 7 days, please contact Overseas Students and Scholars Services in the International Student Office. We will arrange student dormitories or provide information on off-campus rental housing for 7 days self-health management dorm.

In general, the tax rate for foreigners can be 6% or 18%. The difference lies in whether the number of days in Taiwan exceeds 183 days in the year, and if it exceeds 183 days, the 6% tax rate applies, while the 18% tax rate is applied to those with less than 183 days.

For related tax rate questions, please contact Ms. Lu Huiqing, Office of Finance Cashier Division.
