Taiwan allows Vietnamese international students to use test score certificates to apply for visas

Taiwan now accepts Vietnam's high school exam result certificates or temporary graduation certificates for student visa applications.
Previously, Taiwan required the official high school diploma, causing visa delays for many Vietnamese students.
Students should contact their Taiwan school for flexible options if diploma delays affect their visa timeline.
Late arrivals may be allowed if the school approves and the Taiwan education authority grants an extension.
