Visa Extension

I went to extend my visa today. Easy peasy.

Shida - 6th floor machine - print out the first two forms (grade + attendance report, and proof of enrollment). Bring your student ID number and 50NT.

Convenience Store - photocopy the first page of your passport and your current visa. 2NT per copy.

Bring above papers and passport to...

National Immigration Agency

Hours: M-F 8am-5pm, through lunch

From Xiaonanmen (小南門) station, exit 2, take the first left and then first right. The large building will be on your right. Bus 660 from Guting also stops nearby.

Get a number at counter 14, fill out the form on the table, and wait for your number to be called. I hardly had to wait - I didn't even have time to finish filling in the form before my number was called! There is no fee for extending. The extension is until the end of your quarter as indicated on the enrollment report, or 60 days, whichever is less. The employees speak English.

Afterwards I went to the Carrefour around the corner. It's open 24 hours.
