I would suggest other perspective students coming from overseas to make themselves familiar with visa requirements when applying for their student visa. At the same time, they are recommended to choose their university and the specialization so that it can effectively help with their career in the future. And also they are recommended to do some research on the culture of Taiwan especially when they are coming from countries with totally different culture in this way they can prepare themselves better and focus more on their studies when they arrive here.
