What exactly does the JFRV look like? Is it pasted in your passport or is a seperate piece of ID?
I got married to a Taiwanese a few years ago, and had my ARC changed from my school sponsorship to that of my wife. I went thru the whole process of submitting police record, health test, registereing with the Household Registration agency etc.
I rec’d a three year ARC. In my passport there is a valid multiple re-entry permit which expires one week after my ARC is due for renewal. There is also a greenish yellow Visa document pasted in my passport. Nowhere on this document does it say “JFRV”. It merely says “Visa”, “Republic of China”, “Visa Type - Resident”, “Entries-Single”. There is also a 12 digit visa number: for example " 090TPE031589" There is a “USED” stamped onto the visa.
Can this be my JFRV, or is it some other kind of Visa? What is JFRV in Chinese?
Be assured, you have it, doesn’t matter where. If you have an ARC based on you’re marriage, you have one, otherwise you wouldn’t have an ARC based on your marriage.
They should have put your wife’s name somewhere on the ARC.
The process works as follows:
first you get a visa to enter Taiwan, if wrote on your application Joining family than your visa is of that kind, when you enter Tiawan and go yto the MOFA than they change (in exchange for all of your documents) your entry visa into a resident visa, this resident you take to the FAP in your jurisdiction and thjey will issue an ARC and re-entry permit stamped into yor PP. Sounds easy, right? Understood?
