Work Permit Q&A
Every mid-April, Human Resources will e-mail the personal information and current employment roster to foreign teachers for further confirmation. Faculty members who are continuing employment at MCU should provide a photocopy of passport, a photocopy of alien resident certificate, one passport-size photo, a photocopy of withholding and non-withholding tax statement, and a photocopy of tax receipt for previous year (or tax payment proof) by mid-May. After the review of MCU department-level faculty hiring and promotion committee, the abovementioned documents and foreign faculty roster with the signature of department director should be submitted to Human Resources. Then, all required documents will be sent to Council of Labor Affairs for extension of work permit as soon as MCU University Faculty Hiring and Promotion Committee has completed the review procedure. Human Resources will transfer the work permit certificate issued by Council of Labor Affairs to foreign teachers so that they are able to apply for extension of alien resident certificate at National Immigration Agency.
New faculty are offered employment after 3-level review of faculty hiring and promotion committee; then the hiring department will deliver the foreign faculty roster with the signature of department director, a photocopy of passport (including entry stamp page), one passport-size photo, a photocopy of alien resident certificate (if one was already issued), a photocopy of withholding and non-withholding tax statement, and a photocopy of tax receipt for previous year (or tax payment proof) to Council of Labor Affairs for work permit. Then, Human Resources will transfer the work permit certificate issued by Council of Labor Affairs to foreign teachers so that they are able to apply for alien resident certificate at National Immigration Agency. Finally, an electronic scan of alien resident certificate should emailed to Human Resources for further procedures.
Foreigners who are married a household-registered national citizen and thus obtain an alien resident certificate, do not need to apply for work permit. The only requirement is to email an electronic scan of valid alien resident certificate to Human Resources for further reference.
Direct blood relatives with household registration in Taiwan, or permanent residents, are allowed to directly apply to Council of Labor Affairs for work permit. The only MCU requirement is to submit a photocopy of alien resident certificate and work permit certificate to Human Resources. If MCU applies for the work permit for said foreign teachers, this follows the procedure for new appointment (or renewal appointment).
