When foreign nationals apply for an extension, change of information, or re-issuance of their resident certificate, the National Immigration Agency (NIA) will simultaneously issue them with a new UI Number (UI No.). For those requesting the new UI No. before the expiration of their resident certificates, no application fees will be charged for the UI No. replacement from January 2, 2021 to January 2, 2022. Therefore, all current foreign students with the new set of UI No. will need to update their records proactively.
