Why Expats Love Taipei
One of the top reasons that expats flock to Taipei is the ability to work in the city and because Taipei has outstanding healthcare options. National health insurance is available for anyone that lives in Taipei is they are working or in school. The insurance coverage makes medicine, hospitalization, dental procedures and more much more affordable than without the insurance. For expats not working or in school, an expat health insurance policy is well advised.
Employment is allowed, but as an expat, you will need to show that you are highly skilled in your field, and you will need to obtain a work permit which must be requested by a local employer.
Accommodations in Taipei, including hotels and apartments are affordable, and apartments are larger than in other East Asian locations.
Public transit is excellent in the city, and foreigners usually have no need for personal transport unless they want to import a scooter. Traffic is heavy, and it is easy to get around on a scooter, but a car may have a challenging time navigating the congested roadways.

Professional moving services
You will need to hire a professional moving company to relocate your household goods in Taipei. Some services, such as packing or unpacking, can add extra cost to the bill.

You will need to pay customs duty fees and taxes when importing property to Taipei. The charges are based on the value of the property being imported.
Vehicle Shipping

Sea or Air
Shipping by sea is by far, the cheapest way to ship goods overseas. Air freight is quick and convenient, but the charges will be higher than sea shipments.
