Final call! Expanded Overstayers Voluntary Departure Program will end on June 30th
National Immigration Agency's "Expanded Overstayers Voluntary Departure Program" has reached the last stretch this year. NIA appeals to overstayers to seize the opportunity and self-report before June 30th to receive minimum fine of 2,000 NTD and be exempted from entry ban and detention.
The legislation will be amended to enhance the penalty from July 1, 2023.
Program Highlights
In order to encourage overstaying foreigners to come to the case, those who "self-report" during the program period will be treated “leniently" by exempting them from detention and control of entry ban, requiring them to pay a minimum fine of 2,000 NTD.
The legislation will be amended to enhance the penalty from July 1, 2023.
In order to prevent foreigners from overstaying in our country, the overdue fine will be increased from NT$2,000 ~ NT$10,000 to NT$30,000 yuan ~ NT$150,000, and the certain period of time of banned from entering Taiwan will be increase from a maximum of 3 years to a maximum of 10 years.
National Immigration Agency has also set up a special free consultation hotline 0800-024-881 (ByeBye), which provides multilingual services. Migrant workers and foreigners who have overstayed are welcome to use this hotline for consultation.
