Hey guys,
After teaching in Taiwan for 3 years I found a non teaching job. Problem is I’m worried about the work permit application.
I know the requirement is a bachelor’s degree and two years post-graduate relevant work experience. I came to Taiwan right after graduation and started teaching but I have been working online/part time for a website(editing, proofreading, social media, content writing) back in my home country while I’ve been in Taiwan. This is relevant experience to my new job and believe its why I was successful.
But is it good enough to get a work permit? Could ask the website boss to say my work was full time but even then will remote working while I’ve been in Taiwan as a buxiban teacher count?
Would love to hear anyone else who’s made the transition from teaching to business work in Taiwan. Did you have a similar experience applying for a work permit?
TLDR: is remote work experience while in Taiwan as an English teacher good enough for a work permit?
Thanks!
