Hi there
I have a friend in Taiwan who needed to get a new ARC and was denied in Taipei because her University wasn’t on their list of “approved” schools…
What does this mean and how do we know what schools qualify? I’m coming to Taiwan in February and am a little hesitant as I had no problems when I was there 3 years ago… What has changed? Is it much harder to get an ARC now? It was quite easy the last time I was there…
Please help!
confused… :s

Your question is a bit vague. Do you mean she is attending a university (language school) in Taiwan that is not recognized as being an approved school for visa issuing and extending? Or do you mean her University back home was not recognized for her work permit?
If it is the 2nd: This magical legendary list of schools is yet to be seen by the eyes of the general foreign public. It is best to know the following:
Long Distance Degrees are not accepted
Internet Degrees are not accepted
Smaller community colleges have been known to not be accepted (there are exceptions)
Try calling the right governing agency in Taiwan before applying and tell them the name of the school in advance. Might help.
Also, what country is your friend from? What University did she attend?
