Hi Jenna,
I currently teach in Taoyuan county in the north, outside of Taipei. I would really like to move to Kaohsiung next year and have already started to job hunt a little. I was wondering what type of school you work for?
Thanks!
Colleen
Hey Colleen,
I work for a small buxiban with kindergarten aged kids. I’m really happy with the school and just signed on another year. The job market in Kaohsiung is great, so if you move here, you shouldn’t have a problem finding a job.
Thanks so much for the info!
No worries! Don’t hesitate to contact me again if you have any more questions 🙂
Hi! I am currently living in Kaohsiung. I just arrived February 7th so am still adjusting. Let me just please tell you how very happy I am to stumble across this blog. Seriously, your help and insight is invaluable! Thanks soooooo much! I do have a question about where you worked. I am looking for a kindergarten job in Kaohsiung. Any recommendations? ❤
P.S. I am a little sad to see that you have left Kaohsiung because I wanted to be friends. 🙂
That’s so sweet Carmen. Thanks! Shoot me an email and I will be happy to answer a few questions. Jennaroselongoria@gmail.com
Hi Jenna,
I’m so glad I found your blog! Especially now, since I’m looking for someone with a first hand experience working as a teacher/living in Taiwan. I’m currently working as a teacher trainee for an IELTS institute in Kerala, which is great, but I’ve started thinking about my next move. The thing is, I’m an EU passport holder, but not a native English speaker and so far I haven’t found any information on wheather it is possible to get a working visa as an English teacher in Taiwan. Do you know anything about that?
Thank you 😀 Have a nice day!

Hello Sanja,
You could probably find a job, but probably not one that will sponsor you for a Visa. One option is for you to come to Taiwan (you get a 3 month travel visa free upon arrival) and try to find work. If you don’t find a job that sponsors you for a visa, you can just leave the country every 3 months and return. Many people do it this way. Hope this was helpful! Good luck, Jenna
