I'm gonna most likely resign from my job in June, I feel I'm getting screwed-long story.
I still want to work in Taiwan. Does this mean I have to go to HK and get a new 2 month resident visa? What are the steps I need to take in getting out of a job and getting a new one in taiwan?
Any advice |

First step is to check your contract if you are leaving before contract completion. You will need to give notice (at least 30 days) and I would do this in writing and send a copy via email, or get it signed and dated by the school. Be sure to state your last date of work in the letter.
Depending upon where you are, small city or the big smoke, you would be best to line up a second job before you leave the first one. Get the paperwork in order, get a work permit at the second school, add the second school to your ARC and then you won't need to leave the country after you leave the first.
If you don't have a second job lined up then you will need to leave the country and come back in on a new visa as the school will likely cancel your work permit hence ARC when you leave them and you will have 10 days to leave the country after they do this. |

You'll probably have to leave the country and make a new start. It isn't that expensive.
A lot depends on what type of visa you are currently on. If you currently have an ARC, the solution may be as simple as finding another job and getting them to take responsibility for you. The problem is that things aren't always so simple. |

Wood I am not sure what the point of your post was.
Adding a second employer to your ARC is a legitimate thing to do and not an overly difficult process to follow. Sure it means a bit of running around, but then not doing this will mean even more of a run around as it will entail a visa run and then starting the process from scratch again including a new medical etc. |

You're probably right. Didn't take that into account.
Keep in mind, however, that many schools aren't up
on the procedures of adding or subtracting employees.
In the past, it was your employer, exclusively, who had
the right to employ you and to ensure that your stay
in Taiwan was legal.
I would follow Clark's advice and try to avoid as much
running around as possible. |
