我有資格在台灣工作嗎?
I just moved to Taiwan on a spouse visa (my spouse is not a Taiwanese citizen). I'm looking for a professional job in Taiwan. I have a PhD in electrical and electronic engineering and have previously worked in Japan as a measurement engineer in a company specialize in 3D imaging for visual inspection. I've applied for nearly 25 positions on this platform but haven't received any responses. Am I initially ineligible to work here? If you have a similar background, please share your thoughts. Thank you very much.
Good afternoon
It sounds like your current situation is understandably causing you to feel anxious and frustrated. You have a high level of education and professional experience, yet after submitting many applications, you haven’t received any responses. This gap between your efforts and the outcome, along with the uncertainty, can naturally make you question whether you had the eligibility or opportunity in the first place.
Although you hold a residence permit (ARC) as a spouse, which allows you to legally reside in Taiwan, you will still need your employer to apply for a work permit on your behalf in order to work. This requirement generally applies to both full-time and part-time positions. You may need assistance from a professional in this area.
Hi,
Answering your question below.
1)Am I initially ineligible to work here?

I am not sure. Please consult with lawyer. I quickly googled the rule. I think you still need a working permit, but I may be wrong.
Worse case, if you need separate permit, based on your education background and working experience, you can easily find a company to hire you and get you working permit (or VISA).
2) I've applied for nearly 25 positions on this platform but haven't received any responses
