自 2026 年起,於「畢業後延期居留(尋職期間)」內,可免申請工作許可合法工作(兼職),但無工作許可的期間的天數不納入永久居留天數計算。
While searching for a new job after leaving a previous position, part-time or side work is not permitted.
離職至找到新工作期間,不得進行打工兼職

Comment system
評點制

For those wishing to stay and work in Taiwan after graduation, the "Comment System " is one of the documents required for a work permit application. Applicants are scored based on criteria such as educational background, language ability, professional skills, internship experience, and work experience. Applicants who accumulate 70 points or more are eligible to use this scoring result to apply for a work permit.

畢業後如欲留臺工作者,「評點制」為申請工作許可的文件之一。申請人將依學歷、語言能力、專業技能、實習經驗、工作經歷等條件進行評分,累積達70點以上者,即可用於申請工作許可。
