Taipei, Oct. 13 (CNA) The American Institute in Taiwan (AIT) Taipei office announced Friday a new online appointment scheduling system for services at the American Citizen Services Unit at AIT Taipei's Consular Section.
From Nov. 6, applications for all services will be accepted by appointment only using a free online scheduling system that will begin accepting appointments Oct. 23.
Due to increasing numbers of applications and limited office space, the current application process for passport, notarial and social security services can require several visits to AIT and waiting times in excess of one hour, AIT said in a press release. The new scheduling system will mean customers will need to make just one trip to AIT.
