Moving abroad is a major milestonefor those brave enough to take on the challenge. While being an expat isexciting, it can also feel frustrating and difficult to communicate in aforeign language, find familiar foods or overcome cultural barriers. Finding anapartment can easily be on that list of challenges. Yet, finding a place tolive is one of the most important decisions you have to make when movingabroad. A home should feel safe, comfortable and affordable.
We, the team of Living in Taiwan, are passionate about extending services to help the expat community assimilateinto a new culture. We offer relocationassistance for English speaking expats and comprehensive support to help youfind a place to call home.
Here are the values you have through using ourservices :
1. More flexible choices: With our professional assistance, you can have achance to check different candidates before final decisions to find theapartment you really like.
2. Save time: Finding an apartment in Taiwan couldbe time consuming and stressful! To negotiate with landlords, understandingrental contracts, and spending hours looking up listings can feel insufferable!We can help you to take care of these logistics.
3. Budget efficiency: From data we had, expats mighttake 2 to 4 weeks before confirming the final apartment without any support,and the extra cost of accommodation during this period is stressful. Withservice, you can settle down less than 2 weeks after arrived. It’s evenpossible that all the logistics be settled down before arrived and can directlymove into your own apartment after landing in Taiwan
4. Get ready for the next steps inthe shortest time:To stay in Taiwan for a longer time, there are many things need to take care afterarriving, like applying for ARC, open an Bank account, get a mobile phonenumber, etc.. All that processes need a local address. The sooner you settledown your home, the better you complete the rest part.
