I moved to Taiwan from Hong Kong five years ago. I speak the languages, I’ve done the paperwork, and I still found settling here unnecessarily confusing — not because information doesn’t exist, but because it’s scattered across government portals, dying forums, and Facebook groups where the top answer is from 2019.

This guide fixes that with a simple rule: one recommended answer per problem. Which bank to walk into and what to bring. Where to actually find people, not just events. Which resources are worth your time and which look official but waste it.
