Speaking Mandarin is an asset for your weekends but not a requirement for your work placement.
What visa framework applies to international interns in Taiwan?
Interns in Taiwan generally utilize a Visitor Visa for Options of Training or a Working Holiday Visa if their home country shares a reciprocal agreement with Taiwan. AIP’s visa compliance team walks you through the exact application steps, providing the required Ministry-approved host company documentation.

Taiwan is world-renowned for hardware and technology. Our top internship tracks are in Semiconductor Technology & Hardware Engineering, Supply Chain & Global Logistics, International Business Development, Green Energy, and Digital Marketing.
