Working Holiday Visa Taiwan

Am thinking of coming to Taiwan on a working holiday visa. Do you know of anyone doing this also, is there a problem with working for a year for the one company on such a visa. I only ask because it made no difference in Japan, (where they stipulate a maximum of 20 hours) working 50 hour weeks for the entire duration of my stay.

cheers, any info would be great. roger.

Re: Working Holiday Visa Taiwan

On a Working Holiday Visa to Taiwan, you CANNOT work for the one employer for more than 3 months. These are the rules, and whether you and your school wish to abide by them is another story.

No. Schools are not THAT desperate to start hiring teachers illegally. If you want to work for a decent school, then I suggest getting the school to sponsor you. If the school hires you illegally, then don't expect them to be professional towards you either.

Re: Working Holiday Visa Taiwan

Is it possible though for a school to sponsor me without me having a degree?

No. It's against the visa office rules. Alternatively, you can be sponsored with only a TEFL certificate and diploma.
