Can I work legally with a marriage-based ARC?

Yeah, well great. Of course it’s not your fault! It’s just that the laws are so unreasonable to have minimum education requirements for foreigners to live and work here. THAT is the typical American privilege attitude in Taiwan (and elsewhere).

Now back to your question. As YYY pointed out, yet it is entirely possible. But there is something I would like to suggest you: as the spouse of a ROC national you qualify for special scholarships in addition the the already generous scholarship offerings provided to foreigners. You should seriously consider attending night school to get a bachelor degree. You are not getting any younger and it might come handy one day. Despite the scolding in the beginning of my post, I do hope that you can improve your situation on this island.
