Finally!!! My 1-year sentence is up!!! Yippeeee!!! 
They say time flies but the last year was the slowest possible ever lol …
So I took my final trip to the NIA (National Immigration Agency) on this very wet & stormy Monday afternoon to apply for my å®šå±…è‰ (Certificate of continuous residence in the ROC)…[Btw, the NIA moved to a larger facility just next to the small building it was previously housed in]…documents/items needed were:
- Original TARC (It won’t be returned).
- Original Health Certificate from a Hospital recognized by the Dept. of Health (made within the past 3 mths).
- Original and a copy of the Household Registration booklet (made within the past 3 mths) OR your current rent contract.
- 1 passport/ID sized color photograph of yourself that was taken within the past 3 mths.
- Application form (available at the counter).
- A self addressed postage prepaid registered envelope (NT$25 stamp).
- Taiwan Spouse’s ID & his/her chop (Not necessary if you’re single, obviously)
- Processing fee of NT$600.
It will take approx. 2 weeks for my å®šå±…è‰ to arrive in the mail…after THAT-----> Taiwan ID!!!
