Q2:How long can I stay in Taiwan?
A2:For learning Mandarin, you basically can get 60-90 days visa which is extendable. You can extend your visa twice which is up to 180 days. If your visa is non-extendable or your extension is rejected, please leave Taiwan before expired date and apply new visa again.
Q3:In case of that I have 30 days free-visa; can I directly apply the class without applying the visa?
A3:We do not recommend this way since the 30 days free-visa is not extendable. If your class is more than 30 days, you need to depart from Taiwan and apply your visa again. We are afraid that this might affect your class.
