Introduction
It has taken me a long time to figure out all of the things you’re about to learn. I’ve gone through what I’m about to share with you by trail and error.
This book is meant to be a reference, a step-by-step guide on how to turn your dream of traveling and living in Taiwan into a reality. The best way to use it is to read each chapter and do the things listed at the end of each chapter.
Many people make what I call the “I-Know-It” mistake. They skim through the chapters and checklists, and say, “I know I have to do this” and never do it.
Each time you finish a chapter, DO THE THINGS on the checklist. Don’t make the same mistake.
Do me a favor. E-mail me your comments, complaints and ideas. I want know what you think.

Part 1: How To Get To Taiwan
In this section, I’m going to teach you everything you need to know to get a job. You’ll find out the requirements to teach in Taiwan and what kind of salary to expect. You will learn about the different types of schools that most people don’t know about.
Then I will tell you the secrets of getting the job you want. I’ll cover VISA stuff that you ought to know about. Let’s get started!

Chapter 1: How To Get The Job Most Foreigners In Taiwan Want
Different Types Of Schools You Should Know About
When people talk about teaching English in Taiwan, they’re generally talking about teaching English in cram schools. Before we go any further, let me explain what a cram school is.
Cram Schools or Buxibans and Chain Schools: After school, 99% of all students go to cram schools. These schools are called “Buxibans” in Taiwan. This is where students go to get extra help with their homework and preparation for tests. But the main reason is to learn, or reinforce, what they were taught in school.
These schools open at 12PM and stay open until the last student gets pick up by their parents, which is usually around 9 or 9:30PM.
Cram schools can hire foreign English teachers. Cram schools can also apply for Alien Resident Certificates (ARC).
The biggest chain schools are Hess, Sesame Street, Giraffe and Joy. Most foreigners who don’t have any friends in Taiwan usually start out at one of these schools. The reason is that these schools help you with settling in Taiwan, finding a place to stay and getting an ARC before you even step foot in Taiwan.
This is where almost all foreigners teach.
You can expect to make about $550 NTD - $700 NDT per hour. You can expect to teach 4 hours per day plus 30 minutes of pre work.
Preschools/Kindergartens: Students at these schools are 2 – 5 years old. These schools are similar to a daycare or preschool center in the USA. The difference is that kids don’t learn through play. The curriculum is a lot like the elementary schools. They have Chinese, English, Math, Art and Music, and Gym classes.
Preschools CANNOT teach English to their students. The government thinks that learning another language at this age will interfere with the student’s ability to learn Mandarin (Chinese).
The true is that all preschools teach English...
__________________________________________________________________________________
Teaching English in Taiwan ::: Page 8 of 48 ::: Alexander Dee © 2011 All Rights Reserved
If you get a job at these schools, they won’t be able to help you apply for an ARC. This is because the government “doesn’t” allow English to be taught.
So you will still have to get a teaching job at a cram school…
In my years here, I haven’t seen anyone getting deported because they taught at a kindergarten.
These schools will hire you even if you don’t speak any Mandarin. These schools will tend to hire foreigners who can have fun with the students.
You can expect to make about $550 NTD - $700 NDT per hour.
Hard-core Foreign Run Cram Schools or Buxibans: These schools are mostly located in Taipei. I’ve only seen a few in the south, in Kaohsiung.
These schools are own and run by foreigners. They usually pay better than other schools but they tend to hire you only if you’re white. (Yes, there’s racism in Taiwan).
The most well known schools of these types are Modawei, Cortland and Tomcat. These schools use the same teaching methods – constant drilling of sentence patterns, core-vocabulary and pronunciation.
These schools require you to know a little bit of Mandarin, some teaching experience and the ability to control a large class size (around 30 students).
You can expect to make about $600 NTD - $700 NDT per hour.
Public Elementary Schools: This is your normal elementary school, like something you’d find at home. To teach at these schools, you MUST have a teaching license from your home country.
These schools pay on a salary basis. Your salary will range from school to school.
Requirements To Teach English… You’ll Be Shocked
In order to be able to teach English in Taiwan, you need to meet the following requirements:
__________________________________________________________________________________
Teaching English in Taiwan ::: Page 9 of 48 ::: Alexander Dee © 2011 All Rights Reserved
You have a passport from one of these countries: Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa, United Kingdom or the USA. This ensures that you are a native English speaker.
NOTE: If your passport expires in 6 months, apply for a new one.
A bachelor’s degree (or an associate degree with a TESOL/TEFL certificate). Your degree must be from an accredited school.
NOTE: DO NOT buy a fake degree. You will get shipped out of the country (within two weeks and you have pay for all the costs). You will be banned from Taiwan for 5 years. The government is serious about this. Don’t do anything dumb.
To teach English in public schools, you will need one additional thing:
A teacher’s license from one of the countries listed above.
In addition to these official rules, here are the unwritten rules about teaching English in Taiwan:
You must look no older than 40 If you are not white, you have to work on your teaching skills and
sell what you can do. It’s harder to get a job if you’re black but not impossible. If you are Asian, you’ll be okay as long as you show you can really teach.
The true is that everyone hires skill over skin color. Like anything else in life, if you are great at what you’re doing, people will pay you for it.
How Many Hours Do I Have To Teach Per Week?
The council of Labor Affairs (CLA) announced that beginning in April 2006, foreign English Teachers can only teach 32 hours a week. If you teach at two schools, you must put in at least 6 hours at each school.
But the total number of hours must not exceed 32 hours a week.
In order to qualify for an ARC, you must teach at least 14 hours per week.
What To Do If You Are Asian or African American
__________________________________________________________________________________
Teaching English in Taiwan ::: Page 10 of 48 ::: Alexander Dee © 2011 All Rights Reserved
If you are Asian American or Canadian…
One of my closest friends in Taiwan is Asian American. It may seem like a disadvantage being Asian American…but don’t worry. It’s a great advantage in disguise.
If you can speak a little bit of Mandarin, or after you’ve spend a year or two here, you can easily become an English Teacher Trainer, Adult English Teacher or a branch manager…and make more money.
It’s a lot easier for you to make friends with the locals because you look Asian and don’t seem threatening. After the locals find out that you’re Asian American, all they want is to be one of your friends. You’re on a higher social level because you’re from the USA. It may sound like I am exaggerating but it’s true.
No doubt some schools will discriminate against you at the beginning…but after a year or two here, if you WORK HARD, you can make a lot more money and have a lot of fun at the same time.
The point is to NOT give up after a few interviews. Do or show these things when you get to Taiwan:
A foreign teacher who can actually teach – prove that you can teach by focusing on results. What can you teach your students that will be “visible” to the parents? How can you differentiate yourself from ALL other English Teachers? How can you give the school value?
Study Mandarin (if you don’t know it) – use your language skill to build relationships with parents and attract a large number of students to enroll in the school you work at. If you do this, you will be indispensible.
You can negotiate for profit sharing and bonuses because you have the skill to enroll more students.
This will also lead you to owning and running your own school in the future…if you choose to do so.
Make local friends – these connections will give you great advantages like getting a job as a private tutor, and getting a job that is NOT teaching English.
You’ll have a greater chance if you move to the south of Taiwan. Some parents in the south of Taiwan actually prefer someone who is Asian and can speak Mandarin. Once you’ve built your reputation and skills, you can then move anywhere you’d like.
WARNING: Don’t be a jerk about being an Asian American. Some people make the mistake that since they’re from the USA they’re
__________________________________________________________________________________
Teaching English in Taiwan ::: Page 11 of 48 ::: Alexander Dee © 2011 All Rights Reserved
automatically “cool” and “better”…and they only hang out with other foreigners. This attitude will only hurt you in the end. Mingle with the locals at your school and be nice. This will pay off in the long run.
If you’re black…
Throughout my teaching experiences in Taiwan, I’ve seen only 7 black English Teachers. I encountered four in Taipei (the capital of Taiwan) and the rest in Kaohsiung (south of Taiwan).
All of them taught at big chain schools…not Hess or Joy but private chain schools.
So it is possible but it’s a lot harder. You have to save enough money to last 2 to 3 months in Taiwan while you job hunt.
The trick is to come here, make some local friends and get connections that way.
How To Find A Job…My Secret Method Most People Will Never Know About
Now let’s talk about the most important thing, the thing that will keep you in Taiwan or keep you out… getting a job!
Some people never find work and some find it immediately. Before I show you how to find a job, these are my tips.
Dress up. Cover your tattoos. Looking clean, neat and well dressed matters.
Be POLITE and know a bit about the culture. Smile and don’t talk to people like they don’t understand English. Most people make the mistake of stressing every word and pronouncing every single syllable.
Bring your degree, passport and any teaching certificates when you go to your interview.
Get an international driver’s permit before you go to Taiwan so you can rent a scooter.
Come either at the end of December or the end of July. These are the best time to find a job because it marks the start of a new semester.
Get a prepaid cellphone when you get to Taiwan. Most people here do business through phone, not email. You’ll be seen as reliable if you have a cellphone.
__________________________________________________________________________________
Teaching English in Taiwan ::: Page 12 of 48 ::: Alexander Dee © 2011 All Rights Reserved
Don’t complain about anything related to Taiwan during your interview. Save it for your friends. No one likes a complainer.
Be a “member” of the school staff. Most English teachers make the mistake of thinking that they’re an “outsider” because they’re a foreign teacher. They don’t interact with the staff and just show up for work. And then leave as quickly as possible when class is over.
With this attitude, you’ll be quickly replaced if someone “better” comes along. Better means nicer and has a better attitude.
You’ll miss out on referrals (Taiwan is all about referrals) and private lesson gigs. The best way to make YOU a highly valued teacher is to consider yourself part of the teaching team.
This is the best advice I’ve received. It made all the difference in my income and satisfaction living in Taiwan.
So how do you find a job? There are four ways to get a job in Taiwan:
Find an agent or recruiters to help you with the job search and then move to Taiwan
Find a job online and then fly to Taiwan
Go through big chain schools like Hess or Joy
Fly to Taiwan and then look for a job (this is what I did…I will share the disadvantages and advantages of this technique later on)
My secret method…announcing “The Alexander Approach”
I think each of these methods has its own drawbacks so you should choose the method that suits your personality.
For example, if you MUST know for sure that you have a job lined up and CAN’T stand uncertainty, then it’ll be best for you to go through the big chain schools or agents.
Because there’s such a large pool of teachers to choose from in Taiwan already, most all schools will only hire people who are in Taiwan. School owners want to see what you look like and want to know with 100% certainty that you’ll show up for class.
So if you’re not in Taiwan, you have a big disadvantage. And you’ll most likely be discouraged after a few unanswered emails.
This is what I tell friends of mine when they ask for my opinion:
__________________________________________________________________________________
Teaching English in Taiwan ::: Page 13 of 48 ::: Alexander Dee © 2011 All Rights Reserved
Work as much as you can and save up $3000 USD – don’t touch this money! Use it in Taiwan during your job hunting period.
Work as hard as you can to buy a round-trip ticket (around $1000 USD)
Get a visitor visa
If you can, get a TESOL or TEFL Certificate – it only takes about a week
Find a hostel in the city you want to live in and book it for a week
Fly to Taiwan
Go to the hostel and negotiate the price to stay there for a month
Take the list of schools in Appendix A and call every single one
Use the secret job hunting method I’m going to explain to you later on
Dress up, go outside and walk around. Go into any school you see and ask for a job.
In my opinion, this is the best way to find a job.
METHOD
Find Agents or Recruiters
HOW
Here’s a complete list of agents that will help you find teaching jobs in Taiwan. They are not in any particular order.
1. ESL Dewey
http://www.esldewey.com.tw/
2. EU Growth Education Group
http://www.eugrowth.com/default.php
3. Asian Consultants International
http://www.asianconsultants.com/index.html
__________________________________________________________________________________
Teaching English in Taiwan ::: Page 14 of 48 ::: Alexander Dee © 2011 All Rights Reserved
4. International Avenue Consulting Company (IACC)
http://www.iacc.com.tw/
5. Reach to Teach Recruiting
http://reachtoteachrecruiting.com/
6. Teach Away, Inc.
http://www.teachaway.com/
7. Foresight International Education Center
http://www.fiec.com.tw/front/bin/home.phtml
8. Footprints
http://www.footprintsrecruiting.com/
The agent or recruiter usually makes money out of the transaction. They can sometimes provide help with finding a place to stay, or offer housing and getting settled down.
Most of the schools that contact agents or recruiters are usually very small, unpopular or located out of nowhere. Be careful and make sure it is what you want. This is not to say all jobs through agents and recruiters are horrible.
If you have no teaching experiences at all and the thought of venturing out on your own is not something you look forward to, going with an agent may be the best way. Some people have great experiences with agents.
It may take some schools a long time to get the proper documents for you to legally work in Taiwan… so be prepare for doing “visa-runs”. I will go over what visa-runs are in the next chapter.
Make sure you read the contract carefully before you sign. There will be an English and Chinese contract. It’s best if you can get someone to check that both contracts say exactly the same thing. If there’s a dispute the Chinese contract will be the one everyone follows.
Questions to ask:
- Can I get to the school by MRT or bus?
- Is the school a chain school?
__________________________________________________________________________________
Teaching English in Taiwan ::: Page 15 of 48 ::: Alexander Dee © 2011 All Rights Reserved
- How many foreign teachers teach at the school? If there are none, how long
do teachers usually stay?
- Will there be an assistant teacher?
- How big is the class size?
- Will I be able to get an ARC with this job? And how long will it take?
- Can I see some pictures of the school, inside and outside?
- Will there be someone in the school who can speak English?
- Does a foreigner or a Taiwanese own the school?
- Ask how much the agent charges. Do they charge you directly or take it out
of your salary?
- Can they offer any of these services? Airport pickup, housing, health
insurance?
- If you breach the contract, what is the penalty?
METHOD
Find A Job Online And Then Fly To Taiwan
HOW
If you’re a licensed teacher, check the list of private and public schools in Appendix A and contact them directly. When you call, ask to speak to someone from the HR or English department.
__________________________________________________________________________________
Teaching English in Taiwan ::: Page 16 of 48 ::: Alexander Dee © 2011 All Rights Reserved
If you’re not a licensed teacher, you can check jobs at cram schools on the websites listed below.
METHOD
Go Through Big Chain Schools
HOW
Go to any of these websites and apply online or call them directly.
HESS: http://www.hess.com.tw/careers/english/
JOY: http://eng.joy.com.tw/index.php
KOJEN: http://www.kojenenglish.com/
The pay is the lowest if you go through this method (usually around $500- $550 NTD per hour compare to $600 or $650 if you were to look for a job by yourself). They will usually pick you up from the airport, and provide hotel accommodation and training before you start.
Most people who start out with the big chain schools usually leave when the contract ends (1 year). If you get to Taiwan by this route, don’t plan on breaking your contract when you find out that another school will pay you more.
You’ll only be going through a headache and getting your pay deducted. If you choose this route, be responsible and stay until your contract ends.
You’ll hear horrible stories about chain schools. Your experience all comes down to the owner of the school you work for. Some are horrible and some are good.
__________________________________________________________________________________

METHOD: Find An Agent
HOW:
METHOD
The Alexander Approach
HOW
1) Contact the local publisher, Melody Publishing Co., Ltd.
This is different from going through an agent because the publisher doesn’t make any money from this.
How does this work? Most schools don’t want to deal with finding foreign teachers… they either don’t have the skill or just don’t want the hassle. When sales agents go to these schools, they say, “Hey, use my books. In additional to our great books, I’ll even provide you with an English teacher.”
After the sales agent refers you, the school and you will work out your pay and hours. The school pays you directly. Nothing is taken out of your salary and given to the agent. What does the agent get out of this? A sales purchase from the school. What do you get out of this? Free advertisement.
Call this number 07-322-7493 and ask to speak to Heidi. When you get a hold of Heidi, ask her if she knows any school that’s looking for an English teacher. If she says, “No” then tell her to let you know when something comes up.
If you can’t get a hold of her, leave a message. Say that you’re an English teacher and you want to know if there’s any school that’s looking for a teacher.
Be polite and remember to thank her. If you are extra nice and you know a thing or two about teaching, she might contact you for one-off gigs like voiceovers and films, which are more fun and pays better than teaching.
2) Look for job postings in forums and Yahoo Groups
__________________________________________________________________________________
Teaching English in Taiwan ::: Page 18 of 48 ::: Alexander Dee © 2011 All Rights Reserved
English teachers who are trying to help out their old schools usually post jobs in Yahoo Groups. Other times school owners or agents post them.
In the south of Taiwan, Kaohsiung or Tainan, go to the forums and groups listed below. Become a member so you can use the search function.
http://www.forumosa.com/taiwan/viewforum.php?f=146
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/KaohsiungLiving_com/
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Tainan_bulletin/
3) Fly to Taiwan and then call the schools in Appendix A
The Perfect Resume
How To Get Hired On The Spot
Most people will say that all you have to do to get a job is to speak English (these are the people you should not listen to). This statement was true 10 years ago. Bosses these days are looking for people who can actually teach because there’s such a huge pool of candidates to choose from. If you do a quick search on forums, you will find that foreigners in Taiwan are having a hard time finding jobs.
Even if you managed to find a job with nothing but the ability to speak English, you will have to work horrible hours, and you’ll get a horrible wage.
You might also have read hundreds of posts on unfair contracts and requirements, and crappy bosses. The contracts are a result of irresponsible foreigners. While there are horrible bosses, there are good ones who will pay you for what you’re worth.
Like anywhere else in the world, the easiest way to get the job at the school of your choice is to set yourself apart. Be responsible and actually read and study a bit about teaching English to children.
Interviewing Tips
__________________________________________________________________________________
Teaching English in Taiwan ::: Page 19 of 48 ::: Alexander Dee © 2011 All Rights Reserved
Here are some things I suggest you do before going to your interview.
Don’t wear sandals – put shoes on. This is a true story. Some guy from South Africa came to his interview at my school with sandals and shorts. This is the easiest way to tell school owners that you are irresponsible and still live in the past.
Show that you care by asking questions about what you will be teaching. Be specific and ask to see their curriculum, the textbook you will be using, and ask about the students.
The culture in Taiwan is very different from the one in the USA. Make sure you smile a lot, wave to the students when you walk inside and greet the staff. Be professional and show that you are different.
Even if you have no experience, talk about things you’ve read that are related to teaching English. This will probably set you apart from most interviewees already.
Do a quick search on Google for “ELT textbooks”. You should check out Macmillan and McGraw-Hill’s websites and browse through their ELT textbooks. You will get an idea of the current hot teaching methods. You can then talk about this with your interviewer. This is the one piece of advice that will make you look like a pro.
Be polite and thank the interviewer before you leave.
Wait! Don’t Sign The Contract Until You Do These Things
Teaching Hours
If you work in a kindergarten, the teaching hours may be anywhere from one to four hours per day. Some schools require you to teach on Saturday and some don’t. This depends on the school.
If you work at a cram school, you can expect to start work at 3:00 P.M. and expect to get out of school at 7:00 P.M. The hours vary from school to school. You may have some classes that don’t end until 9:30 P.M. The hours you can teach per day, to the number of hours per week depends on how many classes your school offers the number of foreign teachers they have.

Salary: How Much Can I Make A Month?
If you are a teacher from your home country (you have a teacher’s license from the USA or one of the English speaking countries) and work fulltime in an elementary school, you can expect to make $60,000 ~ $100,000 NTD ($3,000 USD) per month. This will be your salary working from 9:00 A.M. to 6:60 P.M. (or some hours similar to this).
If this is what you make in Taiwan, this is good money. A college graduate make around $21,000 ~ $22,000 NTD. Most top-level managers in Taiwan make $60,000 NTD per month. The minimum wage is 95 NTD per hour!
If you teach at cram schools or at kindergartens, you’ll be pay per hour. You can expect to start at $600 NTD ($19 USD) per hour (not working for the big chain schools which start you at $500 ~ $550 NTD per hour).
When you gain experience and build your skills, you can negotiate for $650 ~ $700 NTD per hour.
If you teach adults, you usually can make anywhere from $700 – to $1,000 NTD per hour. This all depends on your experience and how good you are.
On average, if you don’t want to very hard and you’re just trying to get, you’ll make around $28,000 ~ $30,000 per month teaching at one to two cram schools a couple of hours per day.
If you’re serious about making money, you can teach at 2 – 3 cram schools and make about $60,000 ~$70,000 NTD per month. Or you can find two good schools that offer a lot of hours so you won’t have to waste time traveling.

How To Get To Taiwan Checklist
Chapter 2: VISA And Legal Things No One Told You About
Here are the VISA types you should know about…because you might encounter a situation where this information will give you a huge advantage. I will go over each one and how to go about getting it.
VISA Types You Should Know About
1) 30-Day VISA-EXEMPTED PERMIT (landing visa)
If you are from Canada, USA, Australia, New Zealand, or UK you can fly to Taiwan and will be granted a 30-Day VISA EXEMPTED at the airport.
You don’t have to apply or do anything special. Just show up in Taiwan, show your passport from one of these countries and you can stay for 30 days.
People who go to Taiwan to look for a job just show up. If they don’t find a job after 30 days, they do a “visa-run”. This is basically to fly out of Taiwan to a nearby country and then fly back.
I know people who have done visa-runs for 13 to 17 months in a row!
This is usually the case if they’re teaching illegally, lying about their qualifications or can’t get a job.
I don’t recommend doing visa-runs if you’re teaching illegally or lying about your qualifications. You’re going to get caught and get deported. Just don’t do anything stupid.
The only exception is only if you’re qualify to teach and can’t find a job yet.
2) 60-Day Visitor Visa
__________________________________________________________________________________
Teaching English in Taiwan ::: Page 22 of 48 ::: Alexander Dee © 2011 All Rights Reserved
This type of visa allows you to stay in Taiwan for 60 days. What’s so sweet about this visa type?
You can renew or extend this visa for up to a maximum of 180 days.
These visas are usually multiple-entry so you can leave and enter Taiwan as you pleased.
You can apply for one of these in Taiwan or from your home country
Anyone can apply for one
How To Get One
If you are in Taiwan, go to the Foreign Affair Office in your city. Dress up a bit because looking good “counts” in Taiwan.
Make sure you have these things:
Your passport that will not expire 6 months from now. And not marked “Prohibited from entering the Republic of China”.
2 headshots photos 2”x2” in size. The photos must be taken within the last six months, in color and has a white background.
You can print out the application and have it completed first. Or you can complete it at the Foreign Affair Office. If you are in Taiwan and live in Taipei, you should complete it first. If you live in Kaohsiung, you can do it at the office.
Go here to download a copy of the application form: http://www.boca.gov.tw/lp.asp?ctNode=92&CtUnit=58&BaseDSD=7&mp=2
A copy of your round-trip plane ticket to Taiwan
A bank statement showing that you have at least $3,000 USD
A number and name of person they can contact in Taiwan. If you don’t know anyone, just give the name of the hotel and the phone number.
A supporting document stating your visit purpose (basically a letter stating how much you love Taiwan and want to visit)
If you in Taiwan on a landing visa and need to apply for a visitor visa, you should also have:
A written statement explaining why you are applying for one
__________________________________________________________________________________
Teaching English in Taiwan ::: Page 23 of 48 ::: Alexander Dee © 2011 All Rights Reserved
When you get to the office, tell them you want one because you want to travel around and explore Taiwan. NEVER mention that you’re looking for work (it’s illegal to work under a visitor’s visa) or you’re going to school (they will ask for the school to apply on your behalf).
Smile and be polite. In Taiwan, it’s a lot more about likability than anything else.
Single Entry: The single entry visa will normally be for 60 days. After 60 days, you will have to leave the country. You can extend this visa for up to 180 days. This visa costs $50 USD.
Multiple Entry: The multiple-entry visa will normally be for 60 days. This visa After 60 days, you will have to leave the country. You can do visa-runs if your multiple-entry visa is valid for one to three years. The important thing to remember is that you have to leave the country every 60 days. This visa costs $100 USD.
3) Alien Resident Certificate – ARC
This is the ONE! If you get one of these, you don’t have to leave Taiwan and can stay as long as you like. All you have to do is to renew it and prove that you qualify for one.
What are the benefits of an ARC?
You can live like a normal person – no more visa-runs, you can enter and leave as many times as you want
Rent or buy a place to stay
Buy a scooter or car
Drive legally without an international driver’s permit
Qualify for national health insurance (the health care here is great!)
How To Get One
To get an ARC you must be an official student at a university, have a legal job, or have a spouse who is a citizen of Taiwan and can sponsor you.
The easiest way to get an ARC is to get a job at a cram school that can offer you at least 14 hours of work per week. Or a job at another country who can offer you a full-time position.
After you have the job, ask your employer to apply for it. You just have to provide copies of these things:
__________________________________________________________________________________
Teaching English in Taiwan ::: Page 24 of 48 ::: Alexander Dee © 2011 All Rights Reserved
Your degree
Your passport (you will have to give them the actual one so make copies for yourself)
Passport photos (2)
Any supporting documents that you may have like a TESOL certificate
Resume
2 letters from previous employers in your home country stating that you did work at the places listed on your resume (this is for non-English teaching jobs)
The employer usually pays for this. If they don’t want to or they’re asking you to pay for it, I say just pay for it. The comfort of knowing that you have an ARC is worth $100 USD.
I have GREAT news for you! If you stay in Taiwan for 5 consecutive years, you can apply for another type of document that will allow you to stay in Taiwan forever! You don’t need to work for anyone and you don’t need anyone to sponsor you.
You sponsor yourself!
But let’s not get ahead of ourselves…let’s get you to Taiwan first.
WARNING: If you overstay in Taiwan, you’ll have to pay. Under 10 days is around $35USD, 11 to 30 days is $94USD, 31-90 days is $157USD.
Chapter 4: Finding A Place To Stay
Taiwan is a very diverse country. The diversity of Taiwan is represented by the seasons, the weather at different altitude, the cultures and the cities.

Where’s The Best Place To Stay?
You may be able to find work anywhere in Taiwan but I am going to talk about the major cities because almost all foreigners live in one of these cities. There may be a few foreigners living out of nowhere but they usually end up lonely and eventually move to the cities.
Starting north and going down south, here are the major cities:
Taipei – The biggest city in Taiwan.
This is the capital of Taiwan. This is the most developed and most crowded. If you have seen pictures of New York City, it’s exactly like that. But Taipei is the city that never sleeps and New York City is the city that dies after 10 P.M.
The city is surrounded by some of the oldest temples and trendiest stores. On the outskirts of the city, there are hot springs, beautiful temples, quite parks and plenty of trails for your outdoor adventures.
Taipei is rich in art and culture. The most famous temples are located right in the center of the city. Museums and memorials grounds are opened to the public.
The world’s tallest building, Taipei 101 is right next to the city hall. The view from the top of Taipei 101 is just pure amazement.
You can find any type of food in Taipei… for any budget. I mean it. One thing unique about Taipei is Shilin Night Market. It’s the largest night market in Taipei with so many things to eat…and at prices so cheap you believe it.
The best bars and clubs are in Taipei. Doors usually open at 10 P.M. or 11 P.M. and stay opened until morning.
The best thing about Taipei is the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT). It’ll take you anywhere in the city and beyond. It’s fast, clean, cheap, and extremely safe. In my opinion, this is the best way to get around.
Watch out for scooters and crazy taxi drivers. They don’t stop for pedestrians. The air in Taipei polluted and you’ll be in for a shock if you’re from the Midwest.
Hsinchu
Taichung – The third largest city in Taiwan.
__________________________________________________________________________________
Teaching English in Taiwan ::: Page 26 of 48 ::: Alexander Dee © 2011 All Rights Reserved
I think out of all the cities in Taiwan, Taichung is the cleanest. In the winter, it rains a lot in Taipei. Kaohsiung is extremely hot in the summer. Taichung is located right in the center of Taiwan so the weather is just beautiful year round.
I love the big open roads and the great food. Taichung has the best selection of teahouses.
Taichung is a great city to live in but you won’t find as many bars, clubs, temples and museums.
Transportation isn’t great so you’ll need a scooter to get around the city.
Tainan
Chayi
Kaohsiung – The second largest city in Taiwan
If you love the beaches and want to experience summer year long, then Kaohsiung is the place for you.
The city has gone through some very amazing changes and cleanup efforts.
