If I am unable to apply for the 6-month job-seeking ARC in-person, can I ask someone else to apply for me?

You have two options:

① Online Application: Apply for a Job-Seeking ARC through the “ Foreign Professionals Online Application Platform ” (Apply for an Extension for Other Reasons).

② Authorize a representative: Depending on the applicant’s location, the process is as follows: If the applicant is in Taiwan: The representative should bring the following documents to an NIA Service Center to apply: • Letter of Attorney • Original Passport • Original Employment Gold Card • A 2-inch color photo (headshot, without a hat) taken within the last 6 months • Fee: NT$1,000 • Foreigner Residency (Stay) Application Form

If the applicant is outside Taiwan: The representative should bring the following documents to an NIA Service Center to apply: • A Letter of Attorney verified by a Taiwan overseas mission • Copy of the passport verified by a Taiwan overseas mission • Original Employment Gold Card • A 2-inch color photo (headshot, without a hat) taken within the last 6 months • Fee: NT$1,000 • Foreigner Residency (Stay) Application Form

Note: Please arrange for your representative to collect the Job-Seeking ARC and mail it to your overseas address.
