The application process for the Research Visiting Program is conducted entirely online. Once you have identified a supervisor, please send an email to the program manager to request the application system link. Here is an overview of the application timeline:

1. Application Start:

• It is recommended to begin your application process three months before your intended start date.
• Refer to the “Overview” page and find an NTU faculty member who is willing to act as your supervisor for the program. You should provide the template of the “Letter of Consent” to the professor and receive their signatures. Next, contact the program manager to obtain the application system link. 

2. Application Deadline:

• The online application must be fully completed and submitted no later than two months prior to your intended start date.
• Late applications will not be accepted, so it's crucial to follow the deadline.

4. Receiving the Admission Result

• The review process for applications usually takes approximately 4~6 weeks before the final admission results are announced. We will send you the admission result by email. 
• Please note that during the review process, we are unable to accommodate requests for speeding up the progress. If you have a specific deadline for obtaining admission materials, we recommend calculating the application timeline accordingly to ensure it aligns with your needs. 
• Upon successful acceptance of your application, you will receive a Letter of Invitation from NTU, the Consent Letter from the Ministry of Education, and a registration notice. These documents will provide important information for your enrollment at NTU.

Application Documents

All documents must be clear color photocopies of the original documents. The photocopies should be in either Chinese or English. Please ensure that the photocopies are legible and easy to read.

Acoomodation

• NTU dormitories are open for application but not guaranteed due to a shortage of housing space. Please indicate your room preferences in the application system, and your application will be placed on a waiting list. Currently, the two options available for research visiting students are (1) Twin Room, and (2) Quad Room. After the online application deadline, requests for changing room preferences will no longer be accepted. 
• The results of the dormitory arrangement are usually announced 2~4 weeks before the start of the program. You may check the result on the application system and will be notified via email. You will only receive our notice if you are assigned a dormitory; you will not receive a notification if there is no dormitory available.
• Please be aware that university dormitories can only accommodate you during your program period. If you plan to arrive earlier or depart later than the designated period, you will be responsible for arranging your own housing.
• If you would like to search for off-campus accommodation, you can refer to  the Off-campus Accommodation page for some useful information.
