Hey guys, I’m in a bit of a complicated situation and was hoping someone could help as I can’t find an answer online anywhere.
I got Job A (company job) and received my work permit while abroad, but was told to enter Taiwan on a tourist visa. I entered on May 10th as a tourist and received my ARC about ten days later.
However, the job has not been as expected and the pay is absolutely unliveable (didn’t realize Taiwan got so expensive since my last visit ㅠㅠ). I have received an offer from Job B (teaching job) and they want me to start next week. However, I know I need to switch my work permit to the new employer first.
From what I understand, I now just need to tell Job A that I resign and need a Letter of Release from them so that Job B can file for my new work permit. If I tell them I quit this week and start work at the school next week, is that allowed? Do I need to exit the country and re-enter as a tourist again? But I already got the tourist visa on May 10th, so would it still be active or has it been cancelled since I have an ARC now? The school has never had this situation either so they’re also not sure about the process.
Any advice would be appreciated! Thank you!
