3. Appendix

Appendix 1: Regulations Regarding Study and Counseling Assistance for Overseas Chinese

Students in Taiwan

Article 1

These Regulations have been formulated in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 3

of Article 25 of the University Act, Paragraph 1 of Article 32 of the Junior College Law,

Paragraph 1 of Article 41 of the Senior High School Education Act, and Paragraph 3 of

Article 6 of the Primary and Junior High School Act.

Article 2

In these Regulations, the term "overseas Chinese student" refers to a student of Chinese

descent who has come to Taiwan to study, who was born and lived overseas until the

present time, or who has been living overseas for six or more consecutive years in the

immediate past and obtained permanent or long-term residency status overseas. Please note

that a minimum of eight consecutive years of overseas residency is required if the person is

applying to study in a university department of medicine, dentistry, or Chinese medicine in

Taiwan.

A person’s overseas Chinese student status must be validated by the Overseas Compatriots

Affairs Commission (OCAC).

An overseas Chinese student who received assistance applying to study in Taiwan

who studied for less than one year and then returned to their country of residence because

they discontinued their studies for some reason or forfeited their student status may lodge

another application to return to Taiwan to study, but only one such re-application is

permitted.However, if an educational institution in Taiwan where an overseas Chinese

student was studying considers their academic performance or conduct was

unsatisfactory, or if the student seriously violated its regulations or was sentenced in

criminal case proceedings, and therefore in accordance with the provisions of the

regulations governing student awards and penaltieshad to discontinue their studies or

forfeited their status as a registered student, the student is not permitted to re-apply to study

in Taiwan.

An overseas Chinese student is not permitted to change their status of being an overseas

Chinese student while they are studying in Taiwan, unless permitted to do under the

provisions of some other ordinance.

Article 3

The term "overseas” used in Paragraph 1 of the previous article refers to countries or

regions other than Taiwan, mainland China, Macau, and Hong Kong.

The consecutive years of overseas residency referred to in Paragraph 1 of the previous

article means calendar years in each of which an overseas Chinese student has not spent

more than 120 days in Taiwan. When calculating the number of consecutive years spent

overseas, if the initial or final year of the period is not a complete calendar year, any time

spent in Taiwan in the initial or final year must not exceed 120 days. However, time that a

person has spent in Taiwan is not subject to this restriction and is not counted when

calculating how long they were in Taiwan in a particular year if in that period of time the

overseas Chinese student has:

1. attended an overseas youth technical training course conducted by the OCAC or a

technical professional training program accredited by the central competent education

administration authority;

2. attended an activity held by the OCAC or by a government agency and recognized by the

OCAC, or taken a Chinese language course provided by a Chinese language education

institute which has been approved by the governing authority to recruit students overseas,

and has spent a total period of less than two years undertaking such activities or courses;

3. spent a total period of less than two years in Taiwan as an exchange student;

4. spent a total period of less than two years undertaking an internship that they came to

Taiwan to undertake with the approval of the designated central competent authority;

5. returned to Taiwan to do military service and has been enlisted and served;

6. stayed in Taiwan because they were unable to return to their country of residence because

of war, some natural disaster, or a major outbreak of some infectious disease; or

7. stayed in Taiwan because they were unable to return to their country of residence because

of some other matter that the student was not responsible for and they have documentary

evidence of this.

Documentary evidence of the having obtained permanent or long-term residency status

overseas referred to in the first paragraph of the previous article may include proof of

having citizenship or permanent residency in the applicant’s country of residence, or having

a Republic of China passport which officially records the person’s overseas Chinese status.

Article 4

The standard way to calculate the period of continuous residency overseas referred to in

Paragraph 1 of Article 2 is to calculate from the final date that overseas students can apply

in the current year designated in the admission guidelines for overseas students. This does

not apply, however, to applicants whose period of continuous residency overseas must be

calculated using August 31 of the year of the application to meet the requirements set out in

Article 2 and Article 3.

An overseas Chinese student who makes an application to study in Taiwan, in accordance

with the proviso set out in the previous paragraph shall complete and submit a written

declaration regarding their overseas residency before their application may then be

processed. After they have been allocated a place at an educational institution in Taiwan in

the OCAC shall review their actual residency circumstances in the period between the final

date for enrollment and August 31 of the same year. If the period spent overseas does not

satisfy the provisions of Article 2 and Article 3, then the student shall have their enrollment

eligibility revoked.

If an overseas Chinese student who independently returned to Taiwan makes an application

in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 1 of Article 9, the length of

continuous residency overseas referred to in Paragraph 1 of Article 2 is calculated from the

date of their most recent arrival in Taiwan. People who independently undertook studying in

Taiwan and are applying for assistance with procedures to arrange an admission in

accordance with Paragraph 5 of Article 9, the period of overseas residency is calculated

from the date of their most recent arrival in Taiwan since beginning their independently

arranged study.

Article 5

Overseas Chinese students may apply to come to Taiwan to study at educational institutions

at all levels in accordance with these Regulations, and they may apply to study, or

independentlytransfer into or advance to a professional degree program offered by a

domestic university in collaboration with a foreign university, that has been approved on a

case by case basis by the central competent education administrative authority, and for

which the universities have specific administrative mechanisms in place. They may not,

however, apply to study any recurrent or continuing education bachelor’s degree program or

in-service master’s degree program at any cram school, college (institute) of continuing

education, or in distance learning mode at any university, college, or junior college, or any

other program which is only taught in the evening or during vacations.

Overseas Chinese students who have already obtained legal resident status in Taiwan for

non-study related purposes are not subject to the restriction set out in the proviso in

the previous paragraph.

Overseas Chinese students who are in breach of the proviso in Paragraph 1 shall have their

registration as a current student cancelled and not be awarded any certification whatsoever

regarding their related academic undertakings. If such a breach is discovered after

graduation, the educational institution shall revoke the former student’s eligibility to

graduate and shall require any degree already awarded to be returned and shall rescind it.

The educational institutions referred to in the proviso in Paragraph 1 shall state clearly in

their student admission guidelines that overseas Chinese students are not permitted to enroll.

Article 6

school, a junior high school, senior secondary school, or junior college shall include a

document of agreement to being the student’s guardian in Taiwan, notarized by a notary

public in Taiwan, as well as the documents listed in each subparagraph of Paragraph 1. This

awarded any certification whatsoever regarding their related academic undertakings. If any

degree already awarded to be returned and shall rescind it.

Article 6-1

institution to study at each program year level shall draw up their own admission regulations,

submit these to the central competent education administrative authority for approval, and

then formulate a set of admission guidelines for overseas Chinese students that outline

details of the programs that may admit them, the maximum length of time in which each

program must be completed, the admission quotas, application eligibility requirements,

reviewing and screening methods, and any other related regulations.

Universities which establish programs exclusively for overseas Chinese students as part of

an international academic cooperation program or to meet some other special need shall

educational institution at junior high school level or higher in accordance with the

provisions of Article 6 or of the previous article will be given preferential treatment when
