Work Permit Application

International students who wish to work in Taiwan (either on-campus or off-campus), MUST have a work permit before working. Please note that if you hold a job without applying for a work permit, you may be fined NTD 30,000 to NTD 150,000 and ordered to leave the country immediately!

Applying for the work permit does not mean you are permitted to work yet. Students may only start to work after the work permit has been issued.
