Tips and Advice on Taiwan from Your Fellow South African Expats

Obviously, expat life in Taiwan goes well beyond shipping your belongings and taking care of red tape. Socializing with fellow South Africans is an important facet of living abroad and can be a huge stepping stone in getting to know the Taiwanese mentality and way of life. South Africans in Taiwan are a part of our community, calling cities such as Hsinchu, Kaohsiung, Taipeh, and many others home. You can use InterNations to look for fellow South Africans in Taipeh, for example.

Wondering where to shop for South African delicatessen, want to discuss your national team's latest match, or simply talk to someone in your native language? Become a member of the Taiwanese InterNations Community!

  • Our network is the best place to meet expats from South Africa.
  • On the Taiwan Expat Forums, you can get competent answers to all your expat-related questions: how to find a babysitter fluent in your mother tongue, where to get bobotie in Taipeh, etc.
  • The InterNations Places database for Taiwan has information on the nearest South African embassy and many other institutions.

From the wealth of natural beauty spots in the east to the scenic counties of Central Taiwan, you can meet supportive and friendly South African expats in Taiwan on InterNations.

Meet and Mingle with Fellow South Africans in Taiwan

Additionally, InterNations hosts regular expat events and activities in Taiwan. Our get-togethers are sure to cater to your taste as well: as a member, you can partake in cozy gatherings to enjoy some Taiwanese beef noodle soup, join one of our huge expat celebrations with hundreds of participants in Taipeh’s best locations, and much more. Want to discover Taiwan? Go on a weekend trip with your fellow expats to see the main airport and technology hub in the north and other beautiful landmarks.

Our meet-ups and activities offer many wonderful opportunities to mingle with expatriates hailing from South Africa and dozens of other countries in a casual setting. Just sign up for your InterNations membership and you’ll soon hear a cordial Siya namkela nonke, welkom, isibingelelo from our South Africans living in Taiwan!
