New Student Frequently Asked Questions
VISA Application
When should I submit my VISA application?
Once you download the Admission Notice/Enrollment Notification from the TMU admission system, you should contact the overseas Taiwan representative office in/near your country for a visa application.
Will I receive a hard copy of the Admission Notice or Enrollment Notification?
Both documents could be downloaded from the admission system, no hard copy will be provided.
What if the VISA application needs a hard copy of my admission notice/enrollment notification?
TMU has applied a paperless policy for years, and most overseas Taiwan representative offices do accept the soft copy for VISA applications.
If a hard copy of the Admission Notice/Enrollment Notification is requested, please write to admission@tmu.edu.tw and schedule a pickup from the Office of Global Engagement.
Our office is open from 9 AM to 5 PM, Monday to Friday. However, please note that we do not provide service on Wednesdays during the summer break.
Taiwan ARC extension
You can use the Admission Notice to extend your ARC up to 6 months, or extend your ARC up to 1 year with the Enrollment Notification.
6-month Medical Insurance

Before your enrollment to the NHI, all student shall be covered by a medical insurance for any possible medical expenses during their study in Taiwan.

However, your TMU scholarship offer will be revoked.
Also, those holding deferred admission offers are not eligible for Taiwan scholarship applications.
