Can I work in Taiwan?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: Professional work permit: a master's degree, or a bachelor's plus 2 years' experience, and pay of at least NT$47,971 a month (about USD 1,500); the employer applies.
Before you apply: Dealing, advising and senior roles usually need a regulator's licence or approval, which checks your honesty, skills and finances. Ask if your job does.
Watch for: The Employment Gold Card has a finance field and needs no employer to apply; it is meant for senior staff.
Official source: Ministry of Labor: foreign professionals in specialised and technical jobs (page updated 18 October 2021). Checked November 2026.
