Marriage visa questions

[ranlee]

@Britt

When I got married and wanted to switch my work-based ARC to a marriage-based ARC, it was eeeeeasy! I think because you’re not applying for a new one, you’re just “Changing Purpose of Resident Visa.”

My husband had to come with me, with his ID. We also brought our (Taiwan) marriage certificate, my passport and ARC.
We mostly filled out the form at the counter because it was a little confusing, and the lady just told us what we did or didn’t need to fill out.
Paid $1000nt (they only let you have it for one year at first, then up to three after), and boom, it was ready in less than two weeks I believe.

No record check, no health check, nothing. Easy. But I DO recommend going while you still have some time left on your ARC, so you don’t have to bother with any question of a renewal.

This is helpful. I have had my ARC for up to 6 years now (through 3 different jobs) currently filling out the online app and will head over to MOFA later this afternoon to get this done. I believe this is what I need

• Filled out application form
• Valid ARC
• Passport
• Copy of passport
• 2 passport sized photos
• Taiwan marriage certificate (English and Chinese)
• Hard copy of Taiwanese spouses’s household registration
• Spouses ID card

Hopefully no road blocks. I want to get this sorted with the chance that Taipei may end up closing up with the current worldwide situation.
