Stay longer than 180 days with Visitor Visa

Hello,
I am from Austria (Europe) and have a Visitor Visa which lasts 180 days (for studying), this Visa expires in August, but I want to stay longer. As I dont study anymore in August I wont get an Alien Resident Card. Can I stay longer by just travelling to another country and coming back again? Or does this only work after a total amount of 180 days per year?

As an Austrian national, you can leave when your student visa expires then re-enter visa free, for up to 90 days. More information can be found here: http://www.boca.gov.tw/content?mp=2&CuItem=1443
