Hello! My husband and I (both US citizens) are are planning to visit Taiwan and Mainland China for a month in mid-November to mid-December. We had the intention to move to China or Taiwan early next year.
However, I have just found out I am pregnant. Only about a month in. We would like to keep our plans to move to Asia, and we feel Taiwan is likely cleaner/safer/easier than Mainland China.
I am trying to work out if it is possible to obtain a job, and/or medical insurance in Taiwan while pregnant. It’s hard to find straight-forward information about this. I have years of ESL experience, a Bachelor’s degree, and a TESOL certificate.
My husband repairs cars and has an Associate’s degree.
Does anyone have ideas regarding the following:
a) Is it possible for my husband and or I to get jobs and/or NHI insurance (pregnancy being the issue for me, lack of Bachelor’s degree potentially problematic for him)
b) How much medical care/giving birth in Taiwan costs without insurance
c) Recommendations of companies, places, or any other advice that can help us sort out our future plans.
I really appreciate your help with this, I’ve been Googling like crazy but haven’t found answers yet.
