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: No ordinary permit for hotel line jobs; since 2026 hotels may bring in skilled staff (Indonesia first) after hiring locally first; managers use the degree-based permit.
Watch for: Imported hotel staff need basic Chinese or English (level A2) plus hotel training or experience; for each place the hotel must raise a local worker's pay by NT$2,000.
Official source: Ministry of Labor: first skilled foreign workers arrive for the hospitality industry (14 September 2026). Checked November 2026.
