Dear Tonto
No one knows seems to be the best answer. I’d say it’s worth trying exchanging at BOCA in Taipei.
We are attempting to get to the bottom of this one in another thread
[forumosa.com/taiwan/viewtopic.ph … 345#236345](Visitor Visa to ARC - New Law?
and in a third thread referenced there.
I’d say it’s worth trying exchanging at BOCA in Taipei. If you do please let us know the outcome.
