This article explains the legal requirements and costs for Taiwanese households applying to hire foreign caregivers and domestic helpers. Under the new rules, households can apply for a domestic helper with a total of 4 points among members registered at the same address, while caregiver applicants must meet the Barthel Index or long-term care exemption criteria. The article details the 5-step application process and estimated monthly costs of about 26,000 to 30,000 yuan.

Facts:
- Taiwanese households can apply to hire a foreign domestic helper if members registered at the same address accumulate a total of 4 points.
- Among children under 12, those aged 6 to under 12 count for 4 points, meeting the application threshold outright.
- A care recipient under 80 qualifies for a foreign home caregiver if their Barthel Index score is assessed at 35 or below, or a medical team determines they need full-time care.
- Those who have continuously received Long-Term Care 2.0 services—such as home care, day care or family care—for at least 6 months can apply directly through the long-term care alternative assessment mechanism.
- The registration and placement fees that licensed agencies charge employers may not exceed the migrant worker’s basic salary for the first month.
- For a typical household employing a foreign caregiver, the basic monthly expenses include an employment stabilization fee of 2,000 yuan.
- The process of bringing a foreign caregiver to Taiwan takes about 2 to 3 months. If the household hires a worker already in Taiwan whose previous contract has ended, the administrative process is usually shortened to about 2 to 4 weeks.

- Under Article 358 of the Criminal Code, unlawfully entering another person’s computer by using their account and password is punishable by up to 3 years in prison; under Article 359, unlawfully obtaining electromagnetic records and causing damage is punishable by up to 5 years in prison.
