外僑居留證ALIEN RESIDENT CERTIFICATE (ARC)

• 來台就學的外國學生，入境時需要出示有效之居留簽證或停留簽證，預計在台居留六個月以上的國際學生則必須申請外僑居留證。
• 若您持有免簽證國家護照來台，雖擁有合法居留台灣6個月權利，但預計停留6個月以上，國合處仍建議您申辦居留簽證。否則您在面臨在台灣申辦居留簽證的時候，會被迫要求離開台灣重新辦理一次來台就學簽證申請程序。
• 符合申請居留簽證的外國學生，於來台前於母國的當地台灣駐外辦事處申辦學生居留簽證。
• 若符合申請學生居留簽證資格之學生以停留簽證入境，務必最晚在停留簽證到期前的八個工作天申辦。可向外交部領事局或其他中部、雲嘉南部、東部辦事出提出申請改辦居留簽證。
• 無論您是持居留簽證入境臺灣，或是在中華民國境內獲改換發居留簽證者，請您務必於入境次日，或是居留簽證簽發日起15天內，向您居住地之內政部入出國及移民署各縣（市）服務站申請您的外僑居留證及重入國許可。Moreover, whether you have entered Taiwan with Resident Visa or obtained Resident Visa through visa change within Taiwan, please remember to apply for the Alien Resident Certificate and Re-entry Permit at your local office of Ministry of Interior National Immigration Agency on the next day upon arrival or within 15 days of the issue of your resident visa.

外僑居留證就如同外國學生在臺灣的身分證，是您居留在臺灣的身分證明文件，

因此，對每個外籍學生來說，它是非常重要的！請務必妥善保管並隨時注意您的居留期限！

For international students, the Alien Resident Certificate (ARC) serves as their temporary ID card which can prove your resident status in Taiwan. It is a very important document and we advise you to take good care of it and pay attention to its expiration date!
