Tax you must pay

Insurance usually company provide

The rest you must clarify, if non expat than its small. Do expect 15-25k USD overall for expat package.

This is what I am considering to go there alone first maybe like 6-9 months. If everything goes well then will move my whole family there. Definitely, I would prefer to have my whole family to stay with me. That's true, for a foreigner like us, everything is expensive. The most concerning parts are still my kid education fee. I would not want my kids to suffer later if we decide to move back to Malaysia. It is hard to pick up the syllabus if it is not in an international school.
Are you saying that 15-25k expat package mean the initial startup settling down allowance or some other benefits?

Usually they give mobilization allowence, once off furniture allowences.

Survey school cost as well upfront before move your family. Your kids will suffer if later you need to bring back to Malaysia school, international school here rm70-100k per pax, unless you can afford this.

It’s not expensive for living cost, it’s all scaled to your salary. If you want to take benefit, then have to live frugal life. Salary scale not designed to allow you save 90% of income, rather enough for you to spend.

Rental is Kaohsiung should be around NT$20000 = RM3000 a typical condo around 500-600 sqft. The education fee is the part that concerning me. If international school per semester is already NT$200000 = RM 30000. If 2 semesters in one calendar year I need to spend like RM60000. If go to public school I am worrying the syllabus is different when we come back later to Malaysia.

Syllabus be different. RM50-60k per annum for school is decent rate, everywhere else about that rate. If you go cheaper school expect quality be discounted as well.

Rental should allocate RM5k or more to be comfortable. How big is your family anyway?

Are you residing in TW currently?

I have total 4 person in my family. RM5k for house rental is really a lot there. I would expect to be like RM3k range but not more than RM3.5k. I am worrying all will scaled to my monthly salary then no point of moving there since I have a quite good of living here in Malaysia.

That's my main concern of kid education. I don't want them to suffer later if situation will be changed and end up the whole family will be moving back to Malaysia. Syllabus wise will be different.

I am not actively looking for oversea opportunities but if there is the opportunity, why not? The hunter came to me and we have gone thru all the stages until they are offering now. But this is a local hire offer, I don't think it is worth that way.

Not in TW, I have friends overseas in several places.

Overall best value for money is you stay single there for few years.

Best value for life is you bring family, and spend what is necessary.

Syllabus be obviously different, go American or British school if you want to choose, but it is costly.

You been in Taiwan before?
