Step 2
Apply through the official route
- Check Taiwan permanent residence, first participation and age, then prepare a signed motivation letter and CV.
- Email the Luxembourg office in Taipei to arrange an interview and language assessment.
- Personally submit the type D file, funds, authenticated documents and initial accommodation; buy the required insurance after interview approval.
- Collect as instructed and check visa validity and municipal arrival formalities; employment must be temporary.
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
Prepare the first 15 days’ accommodation, bank or notarised funds evidence, and a return reservation or ticket funds. Confirm medical authentication and current fees before the interview, and follow the instruction to buy insurance after interview approval.
- 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
Make the municipal arrival declaration. This programme exempts you from an immigration residence permit; the long-stay visa also authorises fixed-term work. Declare departure to your municipality before leaving.
Work
Fixed-term work with different employers is permitted. Registration with ADEM and unemployment or social welfare benefits are excluded.
