Plan Ahead — Student Work Permits, Internships, and Staying in Taiwan
The Office of Global Affairs recently held the workshop “Plan Ahead: Student Work Permits, Internships, and Staying in Taiwan” to help international students better understand the regulations and procedures related to working, undertaking internships, and remaining in Taiwan after graduation.
The workshop featured Megan Chiu, a legal professional at Winkler Partners, which she joined in 2021. Megan assists foreign professionals across a wide range of industries with applications for work permits, Alien Resident Certificates (ARCs), Plum Blossom Cards, and Taiwan Employment Gold Cards. Her experience includes assisting award-winning musicians, renowned acting coaches, Tony Award nominees, and senior executives in the semiconductor industry. She also handles matters relating to residence, settlement, and national identity card applications for nationals without household registration in Taiwan.
The workshop covered three important stages of an international student's journey in Taiwan: part-time work during studies, internships, and staying in Taiwan after graduation. Through practical guidance from an experienced legal professional, students had the opportunity to better understand the relevant regulations, application procedures, and considerations for planning their academic and professional futures in Taiwan.
Understanding the applicable regulations is essential for protecting students' rights and making informed decisions. International students are encouraged to check the relevant work authorization requirements before accepting employment or undertaking an internship. Those planning to remain in Taiwan after graduation should also familiarize themselves with the applicable eligibility criteria and application procedures as early as possible.
The Office of Global Affairs strongly encourages all international students to make full use of the resources and support services it provides. By seeking information early and taking advantage of available guidance, students can better prepare for their future careers and explore opportunities in Taiwan with greater confidence.
As part of its ongoing commitment to supporting international students, the Office of Global Affairs will continue to organize this workshop every semester. Students are encouraged to stay informed about future sessions and take advantage of these resources throughout their studies. Planning ahead is an important step toward building a successful future in Taiwan.
