▍It is illegal to engage in work not authorized by your work permit
I had no idea I am not permitted to do this kind of work
A: Mary, I noticed a lot of people selling our hometown snacks and sundry goods on the internet. It looks very profitable. Do you want to work together as purchasing agents?
B: No way. That counts as unauthorized work that could violate the Employment Service Act and risks having our employment permits revoked and then we will not be able to continue working in Taiwan.
A: It’s that serious? What other types of work are we not permitted to do?
B: Having part-time jobs, selling things online and being a street vendor are illegal.
In accordance with the provisions of Paragraphs 1 and 2, Article 73 of the Employment Service Act “working for an employer not listed on the employment permit” and “engaging in unauthorized work on one’s own initiative and not at the behest of an employer” can result in foreign workers having their employment permit revoked and being ordered to leave the country.
