About Live in Taiwan

 

Helping Foreigners Feel at Home in Taiwan — Faster

Moving to a new country is exciting, but starting a new life abroad can also be overwhelming.

 

For foreigners coming to Taiwan, everyday life often comes with many questions:

Where should I live?
How do I apply for a visa or residence permit?
How do I open a bank account?
How does Taiwan's healthcare system work?
Where can I find an international school for my children?
How do I get a mobile phone, transportation card, driver's license, or other essential services?
And, most importantly, where can I find reliable information in English?

​

This is why Live in Taiwan was created.

​

​

Our Purpose

Live in Taiwan was established to help foreigners settle into life in Taiwan faster, more easily, and with greater confidence.

​

We believe that moving to Taiwan should be an exciting new chapter — not a frustrating process of searching through scattered information, translating government websites, asking around in expat groups, or trying to figure out how things work on your own.

 

Our goal is simple:

Everything You Need to Start Living in Taiwan.

​

We bring together useful, practical, and easy-to-understand information about living in Taiwan, helping newcomers spend less time searching and more time enjoying their new life.

​

From preparing for your move to navigating everyday life, Live in Taiwan is designed to be a practical starting point for foreigners at every stage of their Taiwan journey.

Our Values

Practical

We focus on real-life questions and useful information that can help foreigners solve everyday problems.

 

Clear

Taiwan's systems and procedures can sometimes be difficult to understand, especially when information is primarily available in Chinese. We aim to explain things in clear, straightforward English.

 

Reliable

We strive to provide accurate and useful information and encourage users to verify important requirements with the relevant government agencies or service providers, especially when regulations and policies change.

 

Foreign-Friendly

We look at Taiwan from the perspective of someone who may be experiencing the country for the first time.

 

Local Knowledge, Global Perspective

We combine an understanding of Taiwan with the needs and expectations of people from different countries and cultural backgrounds.

 

More Than Information

We believe that successfully living in another country is about more than obtaining a visa or finding an apartment.

It is about knowing how things work.

It is about knowing where to go when you need help.

It is about understanding local customs and systems.

It is about being able to make everyday decisions with confidence.

And ultimately, it is about feeling that Taiwan can become a place you call home.

​

​

Our Vision

Our vision is to become a trusted starting point for foreigners who want to live, work, study, invest, travel, and build a life in Taiwan.

 

Whether you are considering moving to Taiwan, preparing for your arrival, or have already been living here for years, we hope Live in Taiwan can save you time, reduce unnecessary frustration, and help you get connected with the information and resources you need.
