Vietnamese domestic helpers and fishing crews permitted to work in Taiwan again from July
The Overseas Workers Management Department under the Ministry of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs said that Taiwan has decided to allow Vietnamese domestic helpers and fishing crews enter and work from July.
According to a bilateral agreement, domestic helpers will have to pay 2,036 USD (expenses for agency, recruitment, passport and other legal procedures) not including a deposit of 800 USD.
In return, Vietnamese workers will receive at a minimum monthly wage of 17,500 Taiwan dollars (565 USD).
Fees for fishermen amount to 1,550 USD (expenses for recruitment, passport fee and other legal procedures) not including a deposit of 900 USD. Wages amount to about 19,293 Taiwan dollars (623 USD) per month. Contracts are for three years.
Employers must provide workers with free accommodation and at least a one-way airline ticket to return home.
In order to prevent worker from absconding, the Overseas Workers Management Department asked Vietnamese enterprises specialising in sending workers abroad to work closely with Taiwanese partners in managing those about to end their contracts.
Vietnam began to send workers to Taiwan in 1999. In 2005, Taiwan stopped accepting them due to the high number who disappeared. About 7,000 Vietnamese are presently working in Taiwan.
