Academia Sinica puts Taipei living costs at about NT$12,000–27,000 a month (US$400–900), and other cities are cheaper. National Health Insurance costs about NT$4,956 per semester.
Working while studying
While studying: international students need a work permit, applied for online with the Workforce Development Agency (EZ Work Taiwan) before starting any job. The limit is 20 hours a week during the semester, with no limit during the summer and winter vacations, and each permit is valid for up to six months per semester. Huayu Enrichment Scholarship holders may work only if their course lasts six months or more. After graduation (new rules since 1 January 2026): graduates of Taiwanese institutions with an associate degree or higher can extend their residence to look for work for one year, renewable once, i.e. up to two years; you apply to the National Immigration Agency within 30 days before your ARC expires, for NT$1,000. During this extension graduates may work full time or part time in any field without a work permit. For professional jobs afterwards you can qualify through the points system (70 points) or the salary and experience criteria, and the Employment Gold Card gives highly skilled professionals an open work permit and residence for up to three years. Degrees earned in Taiwan also count partly towards permanent residence.
