$3200 for my ARC

[Milkybar_Kid]

Hi everyone,

I have just got my ARC from my school. The school want me to pay $3200 for my ARC

Is this normal? I thought that it was about $1000?

I have been given a receipt which states:

$2200 - E1 - Alien Resident Certificate
$1000 - EA1

Its an official receipt from the NIA.

$3200 is quite a chunk from a monthly salary of $50,000

How many years is it for?

The fee for one year should be NT$1000. What’s EA1?

If you are converting a visitor visa (ting liu qian zheng) to an ARC, there is an additional charge. I believe it is NT2000. Renewals will then be $1000 per year.

This is exactly correct. I can only speak for those with a USA visitor visa trying to convert to an ARC. There is a $2000 ‘visa conversion’ charge and then there is the $1000 ARC Fee. Total: $3000. Renewals are only $1000 each year.
