What is the Vocational Training Living Allowance?
To assist unemployed new immigrants in enhancing their job competitiveness, the government provides a "Vocational Training Living Allowance." This ensures new immigrants have basic living security during their training, allowing them to fully dedicate themselves to skills learning.
Subsidy Standard
Amount: NT$12,000 per month.
Duration: Calculated based on the number of hours in the vocational training course, with a maximum duration of 6 months.
Application Requirements
Identity Restriction: New immigrants holding a valid residence permit (including foreign nationals and spouses from mainland China).
Course Requirements: Participation in vocational training (full-time or specific classes) organized or commissioned by any branch of the Workforce Development Agency.
Attendance Rate: Attendance rate during the training period must reach 80% or higher.
How to Apply?
Course Selection: Visit the "Taiwan Jobs" website to find courses eligible for the vocational training living allowance.
Application Submission: Submit your allowance application to the organizing unit simultaneously when registering for the vocational training course.
Approval and Disbursement: After approval by the branch office, funds will be disbursed monthly to the designated account.
Important Reminder
You must be "unemployed" (not insured for full-time work) at the time of application.
If you withdraw from the training midway or are forced to withdraw due to personal reasons, the allowance will cease, and any amounts already received may be recovered.
