Well then tell NIA your “personal” reason.
Yes
I can’t give any legal advice but my aprc being based on marriage and I left for 9 months. I asked them prior how to arrange as it was directly after receiving my aprc and they said apply online. Asked if I need to confirm and come in after sending the form, they said nope. After the leave from Taiwan I was still allowed into the country without an eyebrow raised.
Seems far too simple though. I’m curious how it all works as well as every time I ask nia questions I get different answers on various topics. So search acts, regulations and government websites. At least then when you go to court you have that to show the judge not a forum discussion, Facebook reply or a non evidence based claim they told you that.
I printed out everything before my departure as I felt it was way too easy to be real, at least then I had a bargaining chip when things went pear shaped. Luckily, they did not.

Thank you for the information.
May I know when you applied? And since you left for 9 months only, did you have to apply for the full 2 years extension or only the period you would be out of the country?
2 years ago. I didn’t apply for 2 years I gave them departure and return dates as for my situation it was a specific period. I also made a point to explain to them it is related to my education for my return back to work and bringing new ideas back to Taiwan. I’m self employed.

Has this proven out to be true? Just seeking more data points or official rules that state that work ARC to APRC allow for just one day every 5 years to maintain APRC. Thanks!
Hello everyone.
May I ask, If I were to upgrade to APRC, will it require you to exit and enter Taiwan again?
TIA
No. Never been any requirement like this.
