Diploma translation

Legal Visa & Residency

Quote taken from another thread:

“Teachers wanting to change schools should first be hired full-time by their new school (16 hours per week) . In order to do this your new school needs to send the Council of Labor Affairs this form along with an up to date health check (health checks are valid for 3 months) and a translation of your diploma.”

To get a work permit is it necessary to have a translation of a degree?
Does the degree need to be notarised in the home country, as do so many other documents?

I will be having my degree posted to me shortly and this info would be valuable to know prior to that.

Seems to me (don’t quote me on this) that the diploma has to be certified in your home country in SOME cases…not sure just which ones. In some cases the embassy might be able to do it (if you are from one of the few countries that HAS one in Taiwan!)

The translation is a joke – it only has to be in Chinese characters and, I suppose, vaguely readable. The quality of the Chinese doesn’t seem to be an issue, so you can get just about anyone to do it for you as long as you can talk them into it. :smiley:

Thanks for the help.
