ARC Extension after Graduating

Once you graduate, if your ARC purpose of residence is Study at NTU, it will be cancelled within two weeks.

However, do not fret! If you would like to find a job or continue to study in Taiwan, you may apply for ARC extension for 1 year twice (for a total of 2 years). All you need to do is take your NTU graduation diploma to the National Immigration Office, and you can apply for the extension. You can use this extension time to seek employment, internships, and/or apply for other visas to remain in Taiwan. 

For more information, please refer to the ARC online application system
