Explanation:

1. According to Articles 43 and 68 of the Employment Service Act, foreigners are not allowed to work in Taiwan without their employer applying for and obtaining a work permit. Violations are subject to a fine ranging from NT$30,000 to NT$150,000. Additionally, Article 50 of the same Act stipulates that international students enrolled in public or accredited private colleges and universities may work a maximum of 20 hours per week during the semester (excluding winter and summer breaks). The work permit issued by the Ministry of Labor becomes invalid if the student loses their student status due to suspension or withdrawal.

2. In accordance with Articles 2 and 2-1 of the Qualifications and Criteria Standards for Foreigners Undertaking Jobs Specified in Items 1 to 6, Paragraph 1, Article 46 of the Employment Service Act, applicants must not have worked illegally (without a permit) within three years prior to applying for a work permit.

3. Therefore, if you wish to work part-time while studying, or plan to stay and work in Taiwan after graduation, you must apply for and obtain a work permit from the Ministry of Labor in advance. Failure to do so may constitute a violation of the Employment Service Act and could negatively impact your eligibility for future employment in Taiwan.

[Key Summary]

According to regulations, except during winter and summer breaks, international students may work a maximum of 20 hours per week. Moreover, if you plan to work in Taiwan after graduation, note that one of the eligibility requirements is that you must not have worked without a permit in the three years prior to applying. Therefore, whether you plan to work during your studies or stay in Taiwan for employment after graduation, you must first obtain legal work authorization to avoid affecting your future work rights in Taiwan.
