Over the years, feedback from Gold Card holders and other international residents has been clear: personal banking is a major hurdle to settling down in Taiwan

In a coordinated effort to modernize the financial ecosystem and redesign the banking experience to be more foreigner-friendly, Talent Taiwan and the National Development Council have officially launched the "One-Stop Banking Services for Foreigners initiative".

Participating banks will now support enhanced English-language digital banking, dedicated online appointment systems, streamlined one-stop onboarding services, and more.

We are proud to introduce Taiwan's six model banks leading this transformation:
🔹 E.Sun Bank 玉山銀行
🔹 Taipei Fubon Bank 台北富邦銀行
🔹 Taishin International Bank 台新銀行
🔹 Mega International Commercial Bank 兆豐銀行
🔹 First Commercial Bank 第一銀行
🔹 CTBC Bank 中國信託

Innovation doesn't happen in isolation.

At InnoVEX 2026, startups, founders, investors, and innovators from around the world came together to exchange ideas, showcase emerging technologies, and explore new opportunities for collaboration.

From robotics and AI to autonomous systems, the event highlights the breadth of innovation taking place across Taiwan's technology ecosystem—and the people helping shape what's next.

A special thank you to Taipei Entrepreneurs Hub 台北創業幫 for inviting Talent Taiwan to be part of this year's event and for supporting connections across Taiwan's startup and innovation community.

Taiwan is thinking beyond recruitment — and focusing on long-term belonging.

Starting June 30, eligible foreign professionals and their families will be able to access Taiwan’s long-term care services. The policy extends coverage to foreign professionals who have obtained permanent residency and lived in Taiwan long term, as well as their spouses, children under 18, and disabled adult children.

This reflects Taiwan’s commitment not only to attracting international talent, but also to supporting those who have chosen to put down roots here, raise families, and contribute to Taiwan’s communities over many years. Taiwan has already begun expanding pathways for foreign professionals, from labor pension access to discussions on long-term care eligibility and family support policies.

With more than 15,000 Employment Gold Card holders and a growing international community calling Taiwan home, building a society where global talent can thrive at every stage of life remains an important part of Taiwan’s future. 🌏
