digital nomads who want to perform entrepreneurial or innovative startup activities in Taiwan, the best option might be the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boca.gov.tw\/lp-154-2.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Taiwan Entrepreneur Visa<\/strong><\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">However, this type of visa comes with a more complex set of stipulations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">To be granted the Taiwan entrepreneur visa, you need to meet the requirements prescribed by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.moeaic.gov.tw\/businessPub.view?lang=en&amp;op_id_one=6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Examination Directions of Entrepreneur Visa Qualifications for Foreign Nationals<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">You can access the full list in the resource above, however, some of the ways to qualify for the Taiwan entrepreneur visa include:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"translation-block\">Having an established enterprise with at least NT$1 million (~$32,914) investment in Taiwan,&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\">Having been shortlisted or awarded in official domestic\/international fashion shows, film festivals, or other international award competitions, or<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\">Having secured investment or funding of at least NT$2 million (~$65,652) from a government-approved domestic, foreign, or international startup fund-raising platform.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">If your entrepreneurial undertaking meets all the requirements listed in the directions above, you\u2019ll be granted an entrepreneur visa with a 2-year validity period. You can extend your entrepreneur visa for a maximum of 2 additional years if you meet one of the following criteria:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"translation-block\">Your business has earned at least NT$3 million (~$98,736) in sales revenue,&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\">Your business employs at least 3 Taiwanese employees full-time, or&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\">You can demonstrate to the relevant authority that your business is positively contributing to Taiwan\u2019s economic development.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">If you\u2019re eligible for the Taiwan entrepreneur visa, here are the documents you need to submit:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"translation-block\">Application form,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\">Two recent passport-size color photos,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\">Valid passport and a passport copy,&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\">Documents requested by the Investment Commission at the Ministry of Economic Affairs, and&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\">Other supporting documents (may be required on a case-by-case basis).&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"type-3-resident-visa\" class=\"wp-block-heading translation-block\">Type #3: Resident Visa<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">If you don\u2019t qualify for any of the other visa options for Taiwan, you might find some of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boca.gov.tw\/np-150-2.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Taiwan Resident Visas<\/a> a viable alternative.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">In addition to some of the previously mentioned types of resident visas (such as a resident visa for minors joining a parent or resident visas for entrepreneurs), Taiwan offers resident visa options for several other categories of applicants:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"translation-block\">White collar workers,&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\">Overseas Chinese students,&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\">Foreign students,&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\">Missionary workers, and&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\">Participants in international exchange programs.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">The Taiwan resident visa is valid for 3 months. However, once you are granted a resident visa, you\u2019re obliged to apply for the Alien Resident Certificate (ARC) at local National Immigration Agency centers within 15 days of your arrival to Taiwan. The Alien Resident Certificate validity determines the length of your stay in Taiwan.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Here are the documents you need to apply for a resident visa for Taiwan:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"translation-block\">Application form,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\">Valid passport,&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\">2 passport-size color photos (taken within the last 6 months),<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\">Proof that you have paid the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boca.gov.tw\/404.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">application fees<\/a> (applicants in the ROC with a visitor visa looking to change to resident visa will have to pay an additional fee of NT $800 (~$23.3), however, foreign nationals of countries ROC has a reciprocal agreement with are exempted from paying any visa application fees),<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\">Health certificate (if applicable),&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\">Supporting documents or official letters of approval from a relevant authority of the ROC, and&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\">Other relevant documents.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"which-taiwan-visa-type-is-best-for-digital-nomads\" class=\"wp-block-heading translation-block\">Which Taiwan visa type is best for digital nomads?&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Considering all the information mentioned above, we can say that <strong>the Taiwan Employment Gold Card<\/strong> is by far the best option for digital nomads looking to stay in Taiwan long-term.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Some of the most prominent reasons the Taiwan Gold Card qualifies as the best option include the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"translation-block\">The Taiwan Gold Card is a 4-in-1 card allowing holders a resident visa, Alien Resident Certificate (ARC), a work permit, and a re-entry permit.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\">The application process for the Taiwan Gold Card is straightforward and you can finish the entire process online.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\">You don\u2019t need to secure a job before applying for the Taiwan Gold Card.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\">As a first-time Gold Card holder, you can apply for a 50% tax exemption on your annual salary (on the condition that your annual salary income in the first 5 years is more than NT$3 million (~$98,736)).&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\">After 3 years as a Gold Card holder, you can apply for permanent residency (unless you\u2019re Hong Kong or Macau resident).&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\">You can bypass the 6-month wait and directly join the Taiwan National Health Insurance system as a Gold Card holder employed in Taiwan or an employer or self-employed entrepreneur in Taiwan.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">After all, the numbers are a clear indicator of the popularity of the Taiwan Gold Card among professionals across all fields. Namely, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/foreigntalentact.ndc.gov.tw\/en\/Content_List.aspx?n=7AD100214903D534\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">latest statistics<\/a> by the Act for the Recruitment and Employment of Foreign Professionals, 6,800 cards were approved from February 2018 to February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">However, if you\u2019re looking for a more short-term option with (almost) no strings attached, you can apply for the working holidays scheme.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">\n<div class=\"banner banner-dark pumble-gradient-features\">\n    <div class=\"banner-text lg:pr-[6rem]\">\n        <h2 class=\"translation-block text-2xl !mb-4\">Communication made easy<\/h2>\n        <p class=\"translation-block !text-sm\">Make communication simple and effective.

Still, the costs are largely determined by your lifestyle, preferences, and of course, your income.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">That being said, let\u2019s take a closer look at the major expenses to help you get a rough estimate of the budget you\u2019ll need as a digital nomad in Taiwan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"expense-1-rent-or-accommodation\" class=\"wp-block-heading translation-block\">Expense #1: Rent (or accommodation)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">First up, you\u2019ll need to consider one of the highest expenses you\u2019ll have as a digital nomad \u2014&nbsp;rent or accommodation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">On average, monthly rent for 1-bedroom apartments in a city center in Taiwan costs between NT$8,000.00\u2013NT$25,000.00 (~<strong>$263\u2013$823<\/strong>) per month. At the same time, a 3-bedroom apartment in the same location costs between NT$20,000.00\u2013NT$65,000.00 (~<strong>$635\u2013$2,063<\/strong>) per month.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Outside of the city center, you can find a 1-bedroom apartment for around NT$9,741.54 (~<strong>$319.63<\/strong>) per month, and a 3-bedroom for around NT$23,208.79 (~<strong>$761.50<\/strong>) per month.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Of course, rent prices vary across different cities and regions. Larger cities like Taipei have considerably higher accommodation prices than smaller off-the-beaten-path destinations. So, this item in your budget list is largely determined by your general preferences in location.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">With that in mind, let\u2019s get a closer look at the rent prices across 5 different most popular cities for digital nomads in Taiwan.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th><strong>City in Taiwan&nbsp;<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>Average cost of rent for a 1-bedroom apartment (per month)&nbsp;<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Taipei<\/td><td>NT$15,000\u2013NT$30,000 (~$492.27\u2013$984.54)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Kaohsiung<\/td><td>NT$8,000\u2013NT$15,000 (~$262.45\u2013$492.27)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Tainan<\/td><td>NT$6,000\u2013NT$16,000 (~$196.90\u2013$525.07)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Kinmen&nbsp;<\/td><td>NT$9,153.9\u2013NT$18,303.7 (~$300\u2013$600)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Taichung<\/td><td>NT$8,500\u2013NT$15,000(~$278.94\u2013$492.27)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"expense-2-utilities\" class=\"wp-block-heading translation-block\">Expense #2: Utilities<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">A basic utility bill in Taiwan for an 85m2 apartment costs around NT$2,362.66 (~<strong>$77.53<\/strong>).&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">This includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"translation-block\">Electricity,&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\">Heating and AC,&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\">Water, and&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\">Garbage.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"expense-3-transportation\" class=\"wp-block-heading translation-block\">Expense #3: Transportation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Taiwan is rather densely built, which makes it pedestrian and bike-friendly.

Of course, the prices vary depending on distances and the means of transportation, but public transportation in Taiwan is generally not expensive.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">A one-way city bus ticket is around NT$15 (~<strong>$0.49<\/strong>), while a metro ticket costs between NT$20 and NT$65 (~<strong>$0.65\u2013$2.13<\/strong>). Depending on the destination distances, a regular train ticket is on average anywhere between NT$11 and NT$836 (~<strong>$0.36\u2013$27.43<\/strong>), while the high-speed train ticket prices generally range from NT$35 to NT$2,500 (~<strong>$1.15\u2013$82.02<\/strong>).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">If you prefer to explore Taiwan cities by bike, you\u2019ll be able to rent bikes at a starting price of NT$5 (~<strong>$0.16<\/strong>) per 30 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"expense-4-groceries\" class=\"wp-block-heading translation-block\">Expense #4: Groceries&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Whether you\u2019re not a fan of eating out in restaurants or you are on a tight budget, you\u2019ll be happy to learn that groceries in Taiwan are pretty cheap, especially when compared to grocery prices in the US, for example.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Taiwanese cuisine is famous for delicious seafood, rice, chicken, pork, and a wide array of seasonings, so you might want to explore markets and greengroceries for fresh produce and a great quality-price ratio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">If you want a rough average estimate of how much you\u2019ll spend on groceries in Taiwan, here\u2019s a list of average prices of some commonly bought groceries:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th><strong>Groceries<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>Grocery prices in Taiwan<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Milk (1l\/~34 fl oz)<\/td><td>NT$93.77 (~$3.07)&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Bread<\/td><td>NT$60.53 (~$1.97)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Water (1,5l\/~51 fl oz)<\/td><td>NT$34.25 (~$1.12)&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Local cheese (1 kg\/2.2lbs)<\/td><td>NT$486.04 (~$15.04)&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Chicken fillets (1 kg)<\/td><td>NT$247.86 (~$8.10)&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Red meat (1 kg)<\/td><td>NT$592.39 (~$19.42)&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Tomatoes (1 kg)<\/td><td>NT$100.84 (~$3.30)&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Apples (1kg)<\/td><td>NT$126.29 (~$4.13)&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"expense-5-restaurants-and-cafes\" class=\"wp-block-heading translation-block\">Expense #5: Restaurants and cafes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">One of the best ways to soak up Taiwanese culture is to visit local restaurants and bars as well as the famous Taiwan night markets and try some of the delicious traditional meals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Luckily, this endeavor won\u2019t break the bank, as you\u2019ll find great meals even at the smallest street food vendors.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">For example, you can get a regular-size portion of a street food meal for around NT$100 (~<strong>$3.30<\/strong>).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">At the same time, a 3-course meal for 2 people at a mid-range restaurant costs anywhere from NT$600 to NT$1,500 (~<strong>$19.66\u2013$49.15<\/strong>), which is a bargain for the overall food quality and diversity of options you get.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Prices in cafes and bars go from NT$31.20 (~<strong>$1.02<\/strong>) for a bottle of Coke or Pepsi and NT$180 (~<strong>$5.90<\/strong>) for a beer, while a bottle of mid-range wine is around NT$350 (~<strong>$11.47<\/strong>).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"expense-6-internet\" class=\"wp-block-heading translation-block\">Expense #6: Internet&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">One of the greatest benefits of being a digital nomad in Taiwan is that you\u2019re able to enjoy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.taiwannews.com.tw\/news\/4568738\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">one of the fastest internet<\/a> speeds in the world, pretty much anywhere in the country, at a bargain.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">The median download speed of fixed broadband Internet in Taiwan is currently 124.20 Mbps, while the median upload speed is 53.58 Mbps.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Cable or ADSL Internet of 60 Mbps or more with unlimited data, costs around NT$731.50 <strong>(~$23.99)<\/strong> per month.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">A prepaid SIM card valid for 6 months with 36GB of data, costs around NT$1,006.13 (~<strong>$33<\/strong>).

class=\"translation-block\">One of the first and most distinct benefits of Taiwan is the amazing friendliness and hospitality you\u2019ll notice from the moment you set foot there. Even the language barrier can\u2019t come between the desire of Taiwanese people to showcase their welcoming attitude toward foreigners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Although English is not commonly spoken in all areas of the country, you\u2019ll often find people using translating apps to be able to greet you, provide helpful information, or simply ask about your day or your experience staying in Taiwan.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">On top of that, you\u2019ll also enjoy getting immersed in a one-of-a-kind blend of traditional and modern culture most notable for amazing visual arts, architecture, and performing arts. Choosing Taiwan as your digital nomad destination means your off-work hours will be spent:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"translation-block\">Exploring some of the best collections of ancient Chinese artifacts in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npm.gov.tw\/?l=2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">National Palace Museum in Taipei<\/a>,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\">Experiencing vibrant folk celebrations, such as the famous <a href=\"https:\/\/goldcard.nat.gov.tw\/en\/why-taiwan\/top-6-traditional-festivals-in-taiwan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Lantern Festival<\/a>, and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\">Eating delicious food while enjoying the hustle and bustle of Taiwanese <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tatlerasia.com\/lifestyle\/travel\/best-night-markets-to-visit-taipei-taiwan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">night markets<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Speaking of food, let\u2019s not forget that Taiwan is widely known for having the most delicious and versatile cuisine. With 4 <em>official<\/em> meals a day, it\u2019s clear that the food culture is a big part of Taiwanese cultural tradition, and the options are endless. Even if you\u2019re not a big foodie, you simply won\u2019t be able to resist some of their statement street food delicacies such as grilled seafood, coffin bread, rice cakes, and a massively popular bubble tea.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"benefit-2-great-healthcare-system\" class=\"wp-block-heading translation-block\">Benefit #2: Great healthcare system<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">If you\u2019re planning on becoming a digital nomad in Taiwan, you\u2019ll be happy to learn that the country has <strong>one of the <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/worldpopulationreview.com\/country-rankings\/best-healthcare-in-the-world\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>highest-ranked healthcare systems<\/strong><\/a><strong> in the world<\/strong>. The Taiwan healthcare system is 2nd globally based on the following categories:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"translation-block\">Healthcare infrastructure,&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\">Healthcare professional competencies,&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\">Cost,&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\">Quality medicine availability, and&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\">Government readiness.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Moreover, expats praise Taiwanese healthcare for being <strong>affordable and widely accessible<\/strong>, which is a considerable benefit for digital nomads planning to leave the security of their home country&#8217;s healthcare system temporarily.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Taiwan&#8217;s National Health Insurance (NHI) system follows an efficient, universal framework that allows everyone to have proper medical care for any type of treatment needed. In addition to being affordable and widely accessible, Taiwanese NHI allows citizens the full freedom to choose between private medical establishments they want to be treated at.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Digital nomads staying in Taiwan can enter the NHI 6 months after obtaining the Resident Certificate. However, you can bypass the waiting period and join the National Health Insurance on one of the following conditions:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"translation-block\">If you get legal employment in Taiwan, you can immediately apply for NHI.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\">If you are a Gold Card holder with an employer or self-employed business owner status, you can apply for NHI immediately upon receiving the Resident Certificate. (This also applies to your dependents who have obtained Resident Certificate(s).)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"benefit-3-affordable-and-accessible-public-transportation\" class=\"wp-block-heading translation-block\">Benefit #3: Affordable and accessible public transportation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Public transportation in Taiwan is known to be fast, safe, clean, reliable, and cheap. On top of that, the Taiwanese government has announced the initiative to replace all diesel public buses with electric ones by 2030. The plan is implemented by introducing 1,000 electric buses each year.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">In addition to city and long-distance buses, other most popular affordable means of getting around Taiwan include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Public bikes<\/strong> \u2014&nbsp; For shorter inter-city destinations, you\u2019ll find plenty of public bike docking stations, especially in larger cities in Taiwan.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Trains<\/strong> \u2014 Along with a great <a href=\"https:\/\/tip.railway.gov.tw\/tra-tip-web\/tip?lang=EN_US\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">standard railway system<\/a>, Taiwan also has a <a href=\"https:\/\/en.thsrc.com.tw\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">high-speed rail system<\/a> operating in 11 cities. With up to 300 kilometers per hour (186.41 mph) speeds, the high-speed trains are perfect for cross-country travel. For example, you can get from Taipei in the north to Kaohsiung in the south by high-speed trains in around 95 minutes.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Metro<\/strong> \u2014 The metro system is another convenient and affordable way to get around bigger cities such as Taipei, Kaohsiung, Taichung, and Taoyuan.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">That being said, driving is also an option, especially for digital nomads living in Taipei, which is the only city in Taiwan that is considered safe and where traffic laws are generally obeyed. Scooters are the most popular and most convenient means of navigating the narrow streets and generally disorganized traffic culture in Taiwan.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Outside of Taipei, driving culture is rather chaotic, and you might be better off taking public transportation if you\u2019re not used to navigating these conditions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"benefit-4-great-overall-safety\" class=\"wp-block-heading translation-block\">Benefit #4: Great overall safety<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">All factors considered, <strong>Taiwan is a very safe country to live and work in<\/strong>. Whether you\u2019re a digital nomad, an expat, or a female solo traveler, you should have a pleasant and welcoming experience staying in Taiwan.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">The overwhelming majority of expats (98%) in the previously cited Expat Insider 2022 report by InterNations shared feeling safe in Taiwan.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Moreover, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/319861\/taiwan-crime-rate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">statistics on the crime rate in Taiwan<\/a> show a decreasing trend. In 2021, Taiwan had around 1,036 reported crimes per 100,000 inhabitants, which is considerably lower compared to the 1,101 incidents per 100,000 inhabitants reported in the year before.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Although the numbers alone place Taiwan in a medium range globally, it\u2019s important to note that for example, the US metrics for this category are higher by more than double.

From basking in the sun on gorgeous beaches and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lonelyplanet.com\/articles\/best-hikes-in-taiwan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">hiking the magnificent trails<\/a> to exploring big cities like a local \u2014 by bike, there\u2019s no limit to the type of activity and scenery you can enjoy in Taiwan.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Most importantly, you don\u2019t have to opt for just one option, nor take long trips for a change of scenery. Another great advantage of Taiwan for digital nomads is its relatively small size, so you\u2019ll be able to explore the entire country in just a couple of weekends and a few short train or bus trips.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">If you\u2019re looking for a nomadic experience that offers a perfect work-life balance, you\u2019ll most certainly find it in Taiwan.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"what-are-the-drawbacks-of-being-a-digital-nomad-in-taiwan\" class=\"wp-block-heading translation-block\">What are the drawbacks of being a digital nomad in Taiwan?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Although Taiwan scores high on the list of countries digital nomads and expats like to stay at, it\u2019s not without its limitations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Let\u2019s take a closer look at some of the most common cons you may encounter as a digital nomad in Taiwan.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1198\" height=\"1445\" src=\"https:\/\/pumble.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Drawbacks-of-being-a-digital-nomad-in-Taiwan.png\" alt=\"Drawbacks of being a digital nomad in Taiwan\" class=\"wp-image-2921\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pumble.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Drawbacks-of-being-a-digital-nomad-in-Taiwan.png 1198w, https:\/\/pumble.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Drawbacks-of-being-a-digital-nomad-in-Taiwan-249x300.png 249w, https:\/\/pumble.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Drawbacks-of-being-a-digital-nomad-in-Taiwan-849x1024.png 849w, https:\/\/pumble.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Drawbacks-of-being-a-digital-nomad-in-Taiwan-768x926.png 768w, https:\/\/pumble.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Drawbacks-of-being-a-digital-nomad-in-Taiwan-10x12.png 10w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1198px) 100vw, 1198px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"drawback-1-complex-banking\" class=\"wp-block-heading translation-block\">Drawback #1: Complex banking<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Historically, the biggest inconvenience foreigners face in Taiwan has been related to banking issues.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Almost half of the respondents (48%) in the previously cited 2022 Gold Card Community Survey, said that the <strong>banking services were overwhelmingly inflexible, outdated, and time-consuming<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">This issue apparently goes as far as to make it extremely complex for ARC and Gold Card holders to perform basic banking processes. Even setting up a banking account can take a month and multiple visits to the bank, according to respondents\u2019 feedback.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">However, before you let this factor discourage you from staying in Taiwan, it\u2019s important to mention that things are changing for the better. Authorities have taken notice of the issue and are taking steps to improve banking for foreign nationals, which shows in a slight decrease in the percentage of people experiencing this issue in 2022 compared to 2021.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"drawback-2-poor-air-quality\" class=\"wp-block-heading translation-block\">Drawback #2: Poor air quality<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Taiwan has been experiencing bad luck with air quality, most notably with the high concentration of PM10 particulate matter, which reached some dangerous levels in the past couple of years.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Aside from fossil fuel combustion, for the most part, the reasons behind poor air quality in Taiwan are beyond the control of Taiwanese people and authorities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">The topography of Taiwan cities (with high mountains surrounding large industrial centers) acts as a trapping system for pollutants, making it much more difficult to fight this issue.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Moreover, another significant aggravating factor is that during winter months the winds bring polluted air from China, which has a long track record of dealing with the worst air quality in the world.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Luckily, the <a href=\"https:\/\/ws.dgbas.gov.tw\/001\/Upload\/464\/relfile\/10320\/2150\/air%20pollution_quality%20account.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">air quality in Taiwan<\/a> shows continuous improvement year by year thanks to a number of pivotal measures that have been implemented since extremely high concentrations of PM2.5 and PM10 were identified in 2014.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"drawback-3-common-language-barriers\" class=\"wp-block-heading translation-block\">Drawback #3: Common language barriers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Even though, as a digital nomad staying in a foreign country, you might expect to experience some level of <a href=\"https:\/\/pumble.com\/learn\/communication\/communication-barriers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">communication barriers<\/a> based on languages (at least in less urban areas), this issue seems particularly pronounced in Taiwan.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Language barriers came second on the list of most common issues the Gold Card community experienced in Taiwan, with 45% of respondents citing this issue as the biggest problem they came across in Taiwan.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">This doesn\u2019t come as a total surprise, given that Taiwan has historically ranked low in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ef.edu\/epi\/downloads\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">EF\u2019s global English Proficiency Index<\/a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Still, you can get along just fine using English in larger centers like Taipei, while in smaller, less urban areas, you\u2019ll need the help of a translating app.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Moreover, things seem to be looking up in this segment as well, especially since Taiwan has announced the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ndc.gov.tw\/en\/Content_List.aspx?n=BF21AB4041BB5255\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bilingual 2030 policy<\/a> aimed at improving its global

However, if you plan on staying in the country&#8217;s most southern parts \u2014 expect more extreme, tropical temperatures.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Moreover, Taiwan is known for being affected by the strongest typhoons in the world, with the eastern parts being hit the hardest. Therefore, to remain completely safe, try to avoid staying there during the late summer to early fall period. Alternatively, make sure to stay in the loop on all the latest news and announcements and regularly check reliable weather forecast services, and prepare to stay indoors for a while.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"tip-2-use-the-time-difference-to-your-advantage\" class=\"wp-block-heading translation-block\">Tip #2: Use the time difference to your advantage&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Most digital nomads who have lived in Taiwan while working remotely for a company in the US or Europe have found <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/pumble.com\/blog\/working-across-time-zones\/\" target=\"_blank\">working across different time zones<\/a> to be rather convenient.
