National Chengchi University (NCCU) is excited to welcome participants to ISS 2025. However, we wish to inform applicants from Mainland China (PRC passport holders) of an important update regarding entry permit requirements. 

政大誠摯歡迎大家加入 2025 年國際暑期課程 (ISS)。然而,基於入臺證政策,我們希望提醒來自中國大陸(持有中國護照)的學員關於入境要求的相關規定。
1. Updated Government RegulationAccording to recent updates from the Immigration Agency (移民署), individuals entering Taiwan for "short-term professional exchange (短期專業交流)" purposes—such as students participating in the NCCU ISS program—must declare a daily schedule during their stay. The schedule must align directly with the stated purpose of the trip. Non-compliance may result in the rejection of the entry permit application.
根據移民署最新規定,以「短期專業交流」為目的申請來臺的人士(參與 ISS 的學員即屬於此範疇),申請時必須提交每日行程表(此部分會由政大代為提交)。行程內容須與此次來臺的主要目的相符,如包含無關行程,可能影響入臺證的申請結果。
2. NCCU ISS Schedule Requirements

To comply with the regulations:

  • Your NCCU ISS timetable must be consecutive and will determine the permitted duration of your stay.
  • For example, if you register for courses from Session 1 to Session 3 (July 1 to July 29):
    • Your schedule will cover June 30 (orientation day) to July 29 (last class of Session 3).
    • Your permitted stay in Taiwan will be from June 29 (arrival) to July 30 (departure).
  • Due to these restrictions, students who do not enroll in the full program may be unable to attend the closing ceremony. Transcripts and certificates of completion will be mailed to affected students after the program ends.
  • To simplify the entry permit process and ensure a smooth experience, NCCU strongly recommends that participants arrange courses for the full 6-week duration of the program.

為符合相關規定:

  • 您的 NCCU ISS 排課時程必須連續,且您的排課時間將決定您在台停留的許可期限。
  • 例如,若您報名參加第 1 至第 3 週期課程(7 月 1 日至 7 月 29 日;Academic 1/2+3/4+5/6):
    • 您的課程時間將涵蓋 6 月 30 日(開幕式)至 7 月 29 日(第三週期的最後一天上課)。
    • 您在台灣的停留許可時間則為 6 月 29 日(入境日)至 7 月 30 日(離境日)。
  • 因此,未六週全程參加課程的學生可能無法出席結業典禮。對於這部分學員,我們將在課程結束後,郵寄成績單及結業證書給您。
  • 為確保入臺證辦理結果以及最佳化您來政大的學習體驗,我們建議參加的學員選修為期 6 週的完整課程。
3. Special Package for PRC Passport Holders

NCCU ISS 2025 is offering an exclusive package to support students from Mainland China. This package includes:

  • Four academic courses (for 6 weeks)
  • Administrative fees
  • A one-day excursion
  • Accommodation fees

Total Package Cost: USD 3,000

我們理解這樣的規定可能與您原先的預算規劃不符,因此國際夏日學院為來自中國大陸的學生提供專屬方案,此方案包括:

  • 四門學術課程(為期六週)
  • 一趟一日遊行程
  • I-House 六週住宿費用
  • 報名行政費

總費用:3,000 美元 (原價 3,520美元)

For questions or further assistance, please contact the NCCU ISS team (nccuiss@nccu.edu.tw). Applicants who find this announcement unclear are encouraged to communicate in Chinese. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. NCCU looks forward to welcoming you to ISS 2025!

若您有任何問題或有申請程序上的疑問需要我們的協助,請聯繫國際夏日學院團隊(nccuiss@nccu.edu.tw)。我們接受任何中文或英文的諮詢。
