【外國居民訂車票、網路購物、醫療掛號不再卡卡！】
#新式外來居留人口統一證號 110年1月
正！式！上！路！
外國朋友歷年來時常透過歐洲在台商會以及美國商會等團體，表達統一證號使用上的不便。
國發會為此與內政部移民署及相關各部會協調多時，
終於將自110年1月2日起，核發載有新式外來人口統一證號的證件👍
新式證號將比照國人的身分證號，開頭的兩碼編碼將由兩個英文字母，改成「與台灣人一樣的」一個英文字母、一個數字。
不但降低各種困擾，並增加對我國的歸屬感，外國朋友也能夠順暢地進行各類 #網路購物、 #訂票、 #醫療掛號 等與日常生活息息相關的各項服務🙌
為使外國人更融入台灣生活，國發會過去建置外僑居留證使用問題的解決平臺，也修正相關法規使外僑居留證與外國護照有同等的法律效力等，解決外僑居留證各類問題，近2年再經多次會議，爭取經費及協調辦理。
國發會亦將持續推動 #雙語國家政策 及 #攬才留才政策 等
加強打造友善環境，提升外國朋友在台歸屬感，營造我國成為全球人才匯聚中心！

【No more impediments for foreign residents using an ARC to book transport, shop online, or register to see a doctor!】
January 2021 brings the official launch of a new UI No. format for foreign residents!
In the past, foreign friends have often been vexed by inconveniences stemming from the UI No. format of ARCs, as has been communicated to the government through the ECCT, AmCham, and other organizations. The NDC has held multiple consultations with the National Immigration Agency and other relevant agencies on achieving a solution to this problem. Now, at last, from January 2, 2021, the problem will be solved by the issuance of a new UI No. format for resident permits!
The new UI No. format matches the national ID card number format. Instead of beginning with two English letters, it starts with a single English letter followed by a nine-digit number, the same as citizen ID cards. Apart from removing all kinds of difficulties for foreign residents, it will also give them a stronger sense of belonging in Taiwan. The new UI No. can be used without a hitch to utilize all kinds of everyday services such as booking seats on public transport, buying things online, making medical appointments, and more.
The NDC has made a strong commitment to helping foreigners fit into life in Taiwan. Besides setting up a platform for addressing problems relating to the use of ARCs, it has also orchestrated the amendment of various regulations to provide ARCs with the same legal validity as foreign passports for the purpose of identifying the holder. The NDC has also held numerous meetings over the past two years to secure funding and coordinate solutions to problems of ARC utility.
The NDC will continue promoting the bilingual nation policy along with measures for talent recruitment and retention, to create a welcoming environment, give foreign friends a heightened sense of belonging in Taiwan, and make our country a gathering hub for talent from around the world!
