International student in NY- Getting taiwan tourist visa

Hello to everyone. This is my first time here.
I'm currently living in New York. I'm planning to visit Taiwan about 30 days. Could you please tell me...
1. How do I get a tourist taiwan visa? How much approximately does it cost?
Do I need to apply it through travel agencies? Anyway, I don't want to join a tour.
2. In addition, I'm holding F-1 visa as international student. Can I just get my ticket one way to Taiwan then book another ticket to my country from Taiwan? Because I'm also planning to leave USA for good. I read a website, it's written that I need to submit a round trip ticket.

Thank you for your help and appreciate for your reply asap.

Visa for Taiwan in New York

It's quite amazing how fast you can get answers by just searching for the right thing. In this case "taiwan visa new york". It will take you to the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in New York where you can all of those questions answered, or atleast - a phone number you can call and ask.

All details you need should be here : http://www.taiwanembassy.org/us/nyc/lp.asp?CtNode=2963&CtUnit=62&BaseDSD...

 

Most of the hardcore Taiwan VISA info is on the BOCA Taiwan governmet webpage. For example - 

Visa application form : http://www.boca.gov.tw/lp.asp?ctNode=92&CtUnit=58&BaseDSD=7&mp=2

 

Hope that helps, have a good trip.
