The newly revised Act for the Recruitment and Employment of Foreign Professionals will officially come into force on January 1, 2026, making residence and employment in Taiwan more convenient and better protected.
It’s now easier than ever for outstanding young talent worldwide to work in Taiwan
After graduating from a Taiwanese university, overseas Chinese and international students may work in Taiwan within two years without applying for a work permit—a zero-barrier pathway to employment! The amendment also relaxes restrictions for graduates from top foreign universities seeking to work in Taiwan.
Faster permanent residency applications
Top global professionals may apply for permanent residency after just one year of residence in Taiwan. For graduating overseas Chinese and international students, the required period for permanent residency is shortened by 1 to 3 years, helping you build your future in Taiwan sooner.
Upgraded social security benefits
Foreign professionals may join the new labor pension system without permanent residency, while permanent residents can also enroll in employment insurance, providing greater security while working in Taiwan.
In addition, the Talent Taiwan Center offers one-stop, case-managed support for employment and daily life!
Job matching — no more getting lost in the job market!
Job opportunities are consolidated and matched with the needs of Taiwanese enterprises, helping talent find employers and employers find talent.
Life services — helping you settle down with peace of mind
Support is provided for housing, banking, and children’s education, along with professional consultations from lawyers and accountants, making it easier to put down roots in Taiwan.
