If you are an overseas Chinese student and have participated in the joint admissions organized by the University Entrance Committee For Overseas Chinese Students (UECOCS) in order to pursue further studies in Taiwan, no matter whether it is “individual application” or “united distribution”, you will receive a "Notification of Admission” after being admitted. What is it? What it is used for?

3 Purposes of Notification of Admission

"Notification of Admission” is the official letter issued by UECOCS to overseas Chinese students who have been admitted by Taiwanese universities or colleges through joint admissions. You will be informed to collect it at the ROC Embassies and Missions Abroad, or the offices of Overseas Community Affairs Council, ROC (OCAC) in your country that received your application. In brief, the “Notification of Admission” has the following three major purposes:

1. For university registration
In general, the new school year usually starts in September. The admitting university will normally notify you by phone, email or letter of the relevant information about the entry and registration of new students. You are required to enter Taiwan within the specified time, and bring the "Notification of Admission" to the admitting university to complete the registration procedures before the start of the semester. You may also take the initiative to contact the admitting university for the registration information if necessary.

2. For the application of Resident Visa
Resident Visa is the single-permit entry visa for degree-pursuing overseas Chinese students to enter Taiwan. You need to apply for it at the ROC Embassies and Missions Abroad in your country with the "Notification of Admission" and other required documents before entering Taiwan.

3. For the application of Alien Resident Certificate
Alien Resident Certificate (ARC) is the identification card for overseas Chinese students to stay in Taiwan. You will need to apply for the ARC within 15 days after arrival. Application should be made through the "Students Online Application System” of the National Immigration Agency with the "Notification of Admission" and other required documents.
