Got job offer... but no mention of contract, ARC, etc

So I got my first job offer since arriving in Taiwan a week ago and passing out resumes by hand.

It’s few hours to start but the Taiwanese family that runs the cram school is insanely nice. Giving me gifts, taking me out to eat, taking me to museums and tours, driving me all over town…

The offered me the job and told me my schedule yesterday. I thought the first thing they would want was to have me sign a contract, but so far, there has been absolutely no mention of it.

I’m mostly nervous about getting my ARC. Surely, they must know that I need one, as I’ve only been in the country for a short time and I can only get it through an employer.

So what’s the deal? Is there a reason they haven’t laid out the logistics for me yet? Are they hiding something? Are they just that laid back that we’ll get around to that stuff later? Of course, I’ll ask them about it sooner or later. I’m just wondering if this should be a red flag or whathaveyou.

If it makes any difference, I’m in Yilan City.

I would bring it up immediately. Ask whether they’re free this afternoon to start the paperwork for your ARC. Make it clear that you can’t work for them without one. Don’t be shy about it.
