Attest university degree certificates for submission to Taiwan
Degree certificates and academic diplomas required for submission to authorities in Taiwan or in support of Taiwanese visa applications should be legalized in the country where the university that issued the degree is based. Diplomas are generally legalized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and then attested at the local Taiwanese embassy or consulate.
Taiwan is not a member of the Apostille Convention. This means that all degree certificates and course transcripts required for submission in support of Taiwanese visa and residency applications have to be attested by the Taiwanese consulate or representative office in the country where the issuing university is based.
