Special Notes for Use in Taiwan
Taiwan law typically requires Police Clearance to be an original (not a copy) issued within 3-6 months of visa/permit submission. Timing alignment with your application timeline is critical. If submitting multiple documents simultaneously, NYC recommends requesting Police Clearance last to maximize validity period at submission.
Special considerations for Taiwan: ไม่ใช่ Hague — ใช้ Embassy/TECO Legalization. Additionally, some Taiwan visa categories require Police Clearance from every country where you have lived 6 or 12 months (depending on visa type). NYC can coordinate parallel requests from multiple countries to reduce overall timeline and manage Legalization for each country.

We can also deliver directly to Taiwan authorities (Immigration Office, attorney for visa filing) and provide tax invoices in the format accepted by Taiwan for corporate clients.
