If you're an overseas Chinese or foreign student looking to work in Taiwan, there's exciting news coming your way! Starting at the end of August, new regulations will make it easier for you to find work in the hospitality industry. 🏨✨

Policy Update

To address the labor shortage in the hospitality sector, the Workforce Development Agency has announced changes to the Employment Service Act as of August 6th. These changes will ease the conditions for overseas Chinese and foreign students to stay and work in Taiwan. You will now be able to work in mid-level roles in the hospitality industry, including positions in housekeeping, cleaning, reservations, front desk, and restaurant service (but not kitchen roles). The starting salary for these positions will be at least NT$30,000 per month, with implementation expected by the end of August.

What Does This Mean for You?

1. Lower Barriers to Entry: Previously, overseas Chinese and foreign students could only stay in Taiwan if they worked in specialized or technical roles or through a point-based system. If working in hospitality, they had to be in management or technical research roles, which made it challenging for graduates in hospitality-related fields to find jobs. The new rules lower these barriers, making it easier for you to enter the industry.

2. Salary and Contract Terms: Under the new regulations, the starting salary for mid-level roles in hospitality will be at least NT$30,000. The maximum employment term is three years, with potential salary increases to NT$33,000 upon renewal.

3. Employer Requirements: Employers must have valid hospitality business registrations to ensure that the job opportunities are legitimate.

Why This is Great News for You

Previously, overseas Chinese and foreign students could not hold non-managerial roles in the hospitality sector. The new policy not only addresses Taiwan's labor shortage but also increases the chances for overseas Chinese students to stay and work in Taiwan. Whether you're interested in hotels, guesthouses, or other accommodation services, these new regulations make it easier to find a job that suits your skills and interests. 🌐🏨

If you're ready to seize this exciting opportunity, keep an eye on job postings in the hospitality sector and apply as soon as you can. This could be the perfect time to kickstart your career in Taiwan and experience all that this beautiful island has to offer. 🌟🇹🇼
