Step 2
Apply through the official route
- Check eligibility and the travel year in the 2026 Taiwan instructions, then register interest with the designated agent.
- After initial assessment, prepare the English form, colour copies of every passport page, photos and original banking evidence.
- Post the file as instructed with the handling-fee bank draft; do not initially post your original passport.
- Once approval is communicated, provide the original passport, ticket and insurance for the authorisation-issuance stage.
Step 3
Read your approval and entry conditions
Read the entire approval notice: identity, dates, entry deadline and conditions. Keep it available offline. Do not assume the visa starts on your preferred date.
Step 4
Get ready for the trip
Keep your passport valid 6 months beyond planned departure and copy blank pages too. The authority advises against buying tickets before approval. The EUR 4,000 funds option avoids relying on a purchased departure ticket initially; follow the agent’s instructions.
- Passport, visa and requested evidence accessible offline.
- Initial funds, insurance and departure costs checked separately.
- First accommodation and airport transport arranged.
Step 5
Start your Working Holiday
Authorisation holders remain subject to border checks. For stays over 90 days, register with ISD and pay the applicable registration fee. Keep full-stay medical, hospital and repatriation cover.
Work
This official document does not specify an employer-duration limit; check the issued permission before work.
