I helped a friend, who does not have a Taiwanese passport, get a local bank account 2 years ago. It just takes time and helps to have a Chinese speaking person. But the actual process isn’t hard.

After living in Taiwan for 2 years, there is really only 1 way I recommend now, ATM Withdrawal.

I’d always wanted to get a comprehensive checkup in Taiwan and I got a chance to do so this time around. I figure it’s like a car’s 100k tuneup. Perfect when ones having a midlife crisis.

I’m sure you’ve heard about how great Taiwan’s healthcare system is. It is also relatively cheap(er) to get whatever health check ups you want out of pocket here.
