For those who will host short-term (one month to one semester) visiting scholar, please check the following items:
1.If the visiting scholar is officially appointed by NTHU, please contact the Office of Personnel for details.
2.If the visiting scholar is NOT NTHU employee: 
(1) Please confirm the date and duration of his/her visit first.
(2) If necessary, an invitation letter should be provided by the host academic unit/research centre for the application of visa to Taiwan. 
(3) If necessary, the host can contact the Division of Housing or the General Affairs Office to arrange on-campus accommodation. (Early application is strongly recommended if you want to stay at Tsing Hua Guest House.)
(4) If necessary, the host should assist the scholar to apply for related insurances. (National Health Insurance is required if the duration of stay in Taiwan exceeds 180 days.)
(5) If necessary, the host can apply for a "Visiting Scholar ID card" on behalf of the visiting scholar (for access to on-campus buildings, library, facility rental services and public transport).
(6) Please refer to the National Immigration Agency for the application of an Alien Resident Certificate. 
(7) The host (academic unit, research center, professor) should be the main contact at NTHU, responsible for all administrative affairs related to the visit.
(8) Visiting scholars from the Fulbright Scholar Program (Taiwan) should follow the instructions on "IIE Website → Taiwan → Corresponding Programs → Application Requirement". (For teaching and teaching/research grants, free housing is provided by most preferred host institutions during the length of stay; this should be clearly identified and articulated in the letter of invitation; however, grantees are responsible for securing their housing arrangements directly with their hosts.)
