In which situation will an Alien Resident Certificate NOT be revoked or cancelled?

In the exam (Chinese)

在哪些情形下,外僑居留證不會被撤銷或註銷?

  1. aThe application materials are false or untrue. (For example, giving a false lease contract that records a residence address.)申請資料係虛偽或不實。(例如提供虛偽的房屋租賃契約登載居留地址)
  2. bHolding a document that was obtained unlawfully, forged or altered. (For example, using a forged residence visa to get an Alien Resident Certificate.)持用不法取得、偽造或變造之證件。(例如持用假造的居留簽證辦理外僑居留證)
  3. cBeing sentenced by a judicial organ to imprisonment of 1 year or more. (For example, being finally sentenced by a court to 1 year or more in prison for theft.)經司法機關判處1年以上有期徒刑。(例如因竊盜罪被法院判處1年以上有期徒刑確定)
  4. dGoing abroad for more than 30 days during the period of residence.居留期間出國超過30日。Correct answer

Why?

Applying with false materials, holding a forged document, or being sentenced to imprisonment of 1 year or more can lead to the certificate being revoked or cancelled. Going abroad for more than 30 days does not lead to revocation for that reason.
