Hi. Soon I plan to get married in Taiwan with taiwanese men and i have some questions.
What visa do I need? As I am polish I dont need visa if I want to stay 90 days, but my friend said if I want to marry I need one.
After I am married I want to get my JFRV. Can I change it later for APRC? Because some people said no some people said yes. I heard that I can change JFRV for ARC but i dont plan to work for a while and i heard u have to work to get ARC=APRC.
This question is only if JFRV CAN CHANGE FOR APRC. Does it mean no matter if i divorce or my partner dies i can still stay in taiwan? Because JFRV let me stay in taiwan as long as im not divorced etc.
I didnt mean that, its probably because of my english.
What I meant is AFTER we got married in taiwan and i got my JFRV can i try to get APRC?
Or does it work only marriage-arc-aprc?
No, I am in Taiwan every year for 2/3 months as my country (poland) doesnt need visa if i stay max 90 days. But my friend told me that if i want to marry in taiwan, then get my jfrv/marriage arc/aprc i need to have some kind of visa? I’m not really sure so i try to find answer here.
Also I googled that when i marry and got my jfrv i need to get marriage based arc within 15 days is that true?
Oh so after i marry i only need to apply for jfrv (as its marriage arc I DIDNT KNOW THAT I THOUGHT JFRV IS FIRST STEP FOR GETTING ARC). and then i dont need todo anything wai 5 years and apply for aprc?
Can I ask one more thing? I just found one page about marriage and it say “Once the JFRV has been successfully obtained, the foreign spouse will need to apply for an Alien Resident Certificate at the local office of the National Immigration Agency within fifteen days. The following things are required for application:” so after i got JFRV i NEED to apply for that arc to make it marriage based arc? Or that page is wrong and jfrv is already my arc?

That page is correct. You need to get a resident visa based on your marriage(JFRV), then convert it to a marriage based ARC. After being on the ARC for 5 years, you can apply to APRC. You may need to renew your ARC twice during the 5 years.
You need to leave taiwan to get the JFRV, if you are here with visa exempt. If you come on a visitor visa with a stamp of “TS”, you can get your JFRV in Taiwan.
When I choose visitor visa I can choose SINGLE entry and MULTIPLE entry. Which one should I choose ans why?
There’s something like “服務機關或就讀學校(Name of Employer or School)” What should I writte there if I am not going there for school or work. It says that i NEED to writte something and next page is already telling me that i can choose joining family. So what should i writte?
抵台日期(Date of Arrival in Taiwan) ![請點選, 預定離台日期(Proposed Date of Departure) what do they mean by DEPARTURE if i want to join family and get arc to stay there?
Also if they ask me whats the reason for me get visitor visa what should i say? That i want to marry?
Did they asked u any questions?

sorry for trouble and thank you all for big help .
Came in on 90 day visa exempt.
Left to Hong kong for weekend and applied for visitor visa.
Came back to Taiwan on visitor visa and got married.
Applied for ARC in Taiwan, got it about a week later.
I think for the first 5 years you will need to renew it each year. Have your husband talk to them though, my wife was able to get 2+2+1
