The application processing stops when the quota is used up. Draftees who were born before 2004 and have a master’s degree or above may apply to register as soon as possible at the “Ministry of the Interior’s R&D Substitute Service Information Management System” (https://rdss.nca.gov.tw) or the R&D Substitute Service APP, so to have one more option for military service.
