For various nationalities, Taiwan offers free education as well, plus living expenses. there are a number of people here doing this, all the way through PhD. Sadly, politics plays a role as many have gotten the boot when their countries were bought out by China . there are some pretty gripping sad stories here in this. made more disgusting when some of the “right passports” dont get the boot despite zero officialpolitical support for Taiwan. eg: USA, Germany, UK etc.
Taiwan mostly wants allies, but also likes to collect flags and many schools / governments will give scholarships based on passports.
The figure I see most often is usually in and around 30k/month. not bad at all!
of course most schools suck, but if you want the paperwork, it’s a good gig.
