What to prepare

Steps

  1. Distinguish a school entrance exam, residence exam, and short-term exchange or visitor form.

  2. Confirm the eligible group, form, deadline, and receiving office in your school’s notice.

  3. If residence is involved, check whether your visa category needs a health certificate.

  4. For a residence-purpose exam in Taiwan, use a designated hospital when required.

  5. Ask about identification, photos, fasting, fees, and report turnaround time.

  6. Allow time for reports and corrections, use only the designated channel, and ask early about delays.

Every step has its own link, so a single step can be shared.
