  • The frozen literal or independent review rejected the previous version. No exact replacement primary-source claim was established in this bounded delta pass; the successor therefore preserves an honest not_found state instead of an unsupported claim.

How long can they stay, can they change host/activity, can family accompany, and can the status be extended?

Those who entered visa-free, on a landing visa or on a visitor visa not for religious studies may not request an extension of stay or transfer to a resident visa to pursue religious studies; people in Taiwan who wish to change their purpose of stay/residence to studying religious doctrine must leave Taiwan and apply to an overseas Taiwan (ROC) mission. The official source does not state the length of stay, whether the host can be changed or whether family may accompany.
