Work permit for university job

Legal Legal - Work
1

I’ve tried to make sense of this but I find myself going a round and round in circles.

Could someone breakdown what I need to do to legally work in Taiwan at a university that provides a work permit. If we could begin at the point of being offered a job, what am I supposed to do next? I’m British but currently live in China.

I would appreciate the Idiot’s Guide to it.

Much appreciated.

You’ve come to the right place :rofl:

Lot’s of info here and people usually willing to assist. Me, no idea.

If you’re offered a job, the university should be filing the work permit for you.

You might need a police check from your home country and your degrees notarized by the TECO office back home. Suggest you ask the university about the required documents l.

Normal procedure:

1 or 2) arrive in Taiwan
2 or 1) obtain job offer
3) employer obtains work permit
4) employee obtains ARC and residence visa

Whether or not you can do it starting with a visa exempt entry instead of a visitor (tourist) visa is another topic that you can find discussed in several threads.
