Hi,

To be able to move in Taiwan, a lot of expatriates think of buying a car, whether new or second-hand.

What are the formalities to buy a vehicle in Taiwan: car registration, insurance, etc.?

What are the relevant authorities or organizations to contact?

How long does it take and what are the associated costs?

Thank you in advance for sharing your experience,

Kenjee

anyone with an ARC can buy a car in Taiwan and register it in their own name. IT's quite easy to get a local license and Taiwan has many places that licenses from overseas are recognized to swap for a Taiwan license. Or simply take the license test in English.
