台灣居留證事務- 國家移民署
有關在臺外籍教師居留證是移民署的業務，移民署各地地址名單在最末頁。
In general terms, an ARC is the final step in the process of getting hired to teach English in Taiwan. In most cases those steps are:
Work Permit, 7-10 working days → Resident Visa, 7 working days → ARC - Alien Resident Certificate, 7-10 working days
National Immigration Offices are open 5 days a week 8am-5:00pm and do NOT close for lunch.
一般來說，取得居留證是在臺灣被雇用前的最後一個階段。一般階段分為以下:
辦理工作許可，7-10工作天→居留簽證，7個工作天→居留證，7-10個工作天。
國家移民署周休二日，營業時間：早上八點至下午五點，中午不休息。
Beyond ARCs, you can also do your household registration here. The NIA points out that when teachers move, we should go to the NIA office in our new neighborhood and update our address within 15 days.
(Citizens of Taiwan also have to do this when they move - at the office of Household Registration Office within 4 months.)
不只申辦居留證，你也可以在這裡申辦戶口民簿。國家移民署指出當外籍老師要搬家時，要在15天之內更新地址。
（台灣公民在搬家時也必須在4個月內到戶籍所辦公）
Created in 2007 and drawing largely from the staffs of the Foreign Affairs Ministry and the Foreign Affairs Police, officials assert that the impetus for creating the National Immigration Agency arose from the government's need to provide a single, streamlined resource for Taiwan's growing immigrant population.
為了因應在臺外籍人士數量的迅速成長，在2007年的時候政府成立了有大量來自外交部和警政署的員工組成，並且有更佳行政效率的移民署。
Most teachers in Taiwan will teach English in either a bushiban / cram school or in a public elementary, junior or senior high school.
(To teach English in a public school nearly always requires that you hold a certificate to teach in the public schools of your own country.)
大部分在臺灣的外籍英文教師都在補習班，或者各級中小學教授英文。
(在臺灣，幾乎所有學校都會要求教師擁有來自自己國家的教師證。)
The process for getting a Resident Visa and an ARC are the same whether you’re teaching English in a bushiban or a public school. Step 1, however- the Work Permit application for a job to teach English - differs between bushiban English teaching posts and public school English teaching jobs. All three steps, Work Permit – Resident Visa – ARC, along with timelines and Chinese and English terms are outlined below.
不論你在補習班還是各級學校教英文，取得居留簽證和居留證的流程都是相同的。然而，在那之前的第一步－取得在補習班和學校工作時所需要的工作許可的流程則有些差異。下方有中/英文的取得工作許可、居留簽證、居留證的三個步驟的大略流程。
