1. Working after graduation: Your student work permit becomes invalid on the date you receive your diploma. You may not work during your post-graduation stay. You may start working only after obtaining a work permit for your new job.
2. Working without a work permit: Working without a valid work permit may result in a fine imposed by the Ministry of Labor and a ban on working in Taiwan for up to three years.
3. National Health Insurance: The university provides National Health Insurance coverage through the end of August. Starting in September, graduates should enroll through their local district office or the National Health Insurance Administration. If you are not insured during this period, your employer will enroll you in National Health Insurance once you obtain a work permit. You will be required to pay the premiums for the uninsured period.
4. Leaving Taiwan: If you do not obtain employment, secure the required work permit, and update your Alien Resident Certificate (ARC) within the required period, you must leave Taiwan in accordance with the regulations.

After graduation, NTNU will report to the Immigration Agency the name list of all the graduates, and the ARC (Alien Resident Certificate) will be invalid in 14 days (including weekends). If you want to seek employment in Taiwan after graduation, please contact the Immigration Agency to extend your ARC, the maximum extension period is 6 months starting from the month you graduated.

Students who join NHI (National Health Insurance) of Taiwan will only be insured until the end of August after graduation, starting September you will not be covered by the NHI unless you get employed. Please bring your ARC to apply for the NHI at the NHI Administration (NHIA) or your district office.

For encouraging foreign students who received bachelor’s degrees or higher level degrees to work in Taiwan, the Ministry of Labor has introduced a new scoring comment system(as below table) since 2014, which qualifies foreign graduates to work in Taiwan by scoring 70 points (or higher). In addition, employers of foreign graduates should meet the “qualifications under employing foreigners for specialized or technical works” (please refer to EZ Work Taiwan), and prepare required documents to apply for the work permit online at https://ezwp.wda.gov.tw.
