Best freelance, gig and earning platforms in Taiwan
Taiwan's local earning platforms focus on services, tutoring and online selling. PRO360 is a platform where freelancers find projects and business owners outsource work, AmazingTalker, based in Taipei, hires online tutors, Pinkoi sells original design goods from Taipei across East and Southeast Asia, and Shopee and Ruten host online sellers. 104 Job Bank and 1111 Job Bank list jobs, and Yoxi and LINE GO offer ride-hailing. Money is in New Taiwan dollars (TWD). PayPal works in Taiwan, but its Taiwan fee schedule lists withdrawals only to E.SUN Bank: TWD balances go to an E.SUN TWD account with no fee without conversion, and USD balances go to an E.SUN USD account for 2.5%. Wise does not list Taiwan as a send destination, and Upwork's Direct to Local Bank list does not include TWD, so Upwork freelancers rely on options such as PayPal or a USD 50 wire transfer. Tip: open an E.SUN Bank account before your first PayPal withdrawal.

What are the best freelance and gig platforms in Taiwan?
PRO360 for freelancers and service pros finding projects, AmazingTalker for online tutoring, Pinkoi for selling original design goods, and Shopee or Ruten for online shops. 104 Job Bank and 1111 Job Bank list jobs, and Yoxi and LINE GO are local ride-hailing apps.
How do freelancers in Taiwan get paid by international clients?
PayPal works, with withdrawals to an E.SUN Bank account. Wise does not list Taiwan as a destination, and Upwork's Direct to Local Bank does not cover TWD, so Upwork's options for Taiwan include PayPal or a USD wire transfer costing USD 50. Fiverr pays out through PayPal or Payoneer.
Does PayPal work in Taiwan?
Yes, but withdrawals are narrow. PayPal's Taiwan fee schedule lists withdrawals only to E.SUN Bank. Moving a TWD balance to an E.SUN TWD account has no fee without currency conversion, while moving a USD balance to an E.SUN USD account costs 2.5%. Business payments follow PayPal's separate merchant rates.
Can people in Taiwan work on Upwork and Fiverr?
Yes, though payouts need planning. Upwork's Direct to Local Bank list does not include TWD, so options such as PayPal or a USD 50 wire apply, and account names must match your verified Upwork name. Fiverr pays out through PayPal or Payoneer and requires you to be at least 18 to withdraw.
Can foreigners in Taiwan take freelance or gig work?
It depends on their permit. The Taiwan Employment Gold Card, for skilled professionals in ten designated fields, combines an open work permit, residence permit and visa, lets holders work for any company they choose, and lasts up to 3 years. Other permit holders should check their work rights before taking platform work.
