Introduction 簡介

International students in Taiwan are required by law to obtain a Work Permit before taking any part-time job, internship, or on-campus employment. Working without a permit can lead to fines ranging from NTD 30,000 to NTD 150,000 and cancellation of your ARC, and immediate departure from Taiwan.  .
外國學生在臺灣從事任何兼職、實習或校內工作前，依法必須先申請 工作許可證（Work Permit）。未經核准工作者，將面臨罰款新台幣30,000元至150,000元並可能喪失居留資格，需立即出境。

The Work Permit is issued by the Ministry of Labor (MOL) and is usually valid for up to 1 year at a time (spring and fall semesters). Students must re-apply to renew it if you wish to continue working.
工作許可證由 勞動部（Ministry of Labor, MOL） 核發，有效期限最長為 1 年（春季與秋季學期），若欲持續工作須重新申請。
