📌 New Policy Highlights

Stay in Taiwan with Zero Barriers!

According to the latest amendment to the Act for the Recruitment and Employment of Foreign Professionals, international students who obtain an Associate degree or higher in Taiwan now enjoy three unprecedented benefits:

  • Benefit 1: Free to work after graduation
    During the extended residency period after graduation (max. 2 years), you can stay in Taiwan to freely look for jobs and develop your career.

  • Benefit 2: Unlimited Industries & Roles
    Full-time and part-time jobs are both allowed. All industries and roles are open to you, allowing you to gain diverse practical experience without restrictions.

  • Benefit 3: No Work Permit Required
    No need to apply for a permit from the Ministry of Labor! You can work legally as long as you hold a valid extension of stay ARC. This means super fast entry into the workforce.

💡 Bonus: Faster Path to APRC
Don’t forget! Your Taiwanese degree counts! You can use it to fast-track your application for Permanent Residence (APRC) by reducing the required residency years. (Deduction: 3 years for a PhD, 2 years for a Master’s, and 1 year for a Bachelor’s/Associate degree.)
