Work remotely from Taiwan —
visa, places and people.
TDNA is the registered non-profit representing digital nomads in Taiwan. We publish the country's largest first-hand nomad survey, certify nomad-friendly venues, and host Taiwan Digital Fest.
Start here: the visa
Taiwan's digital nomad visa, in plain English: who qualifies, how long you can stay, and what to prepare.
renewable to 2 years
Launched January 2025. Work for employers and clients outside Taiwan while living here.
Applicants must be nationals of visa-exempt countries. Review takes 14–20 working days.
Where to work: the Friendly Mark
Verified places where you can actually get work done — not just a café with Wi-Fi.
94 coworking spaces, cafés and guesthouses across Taipei, Tainan, Taitung, Hualien and Kenting have passed our audit: 100/40 Mbps internet, a real work setup, English-friendly service and local support.
Community and events
You will meet people faster here than anywhere else in Asia — that is the part visas cannot give you.
Our flagship festival. 2025 in Taipei (8 days, 450+ nomads), 2026 across Taitung and Hualien for a month. Next edition: April 2027.

Visa paths, work rights and the 183-day tax line.
The nomad visa caps at two years and has no renewal path today. If Taiwan turns out to be more than a stop, these are the routes people take — and the questions to ask before your visa runs out.
The data behind all of this
Journalists, city governments and venue owners use this dataset — you can quote it too.
