「兩年轉銜期」是最重大的更新。過去，從學生簽證轉為工作許可，往往受到薪資門檻與雇主擔保限制。

• 兩年自由尋職期： 具備副學士（含）以上學位之畢業生， 畢業後可申請延期居留一年，屆期前如有必要可再申請延期居留一年，總延期居留期間最長為二年。 更重要的是，您在這段期間 無需申請特定工作許可 ；您擁有「個人工作許可權」，意味著在尋找理想職涯路徑時，可以自由從事全職、兼職或實習。
• 快速取得永久居留（APRC）： 您在台就學的時間現在正式計入未來。根據您的學位，您可以從申請永居所需的 5 年連續居留年限中， 「折抵」1 至 3 年 。例如：碩士畢業生只需額外累積 3 年的專業居留，即可申請永久居留。
• 提醒：此為尋職轉銜階段。
  
  兩年期滿後，您仍須依下列兩種路徑之一，在符合外國專業人才規定的情況下正式就業：
  
  1. 僑外生留台工作評點配額制。
  2. 依「外國專業人才從事專門性或技術性工作」相關規定辦理。

The "2-Year Transition" is perhaps the most significant update for the tens of thousands of international students (including Overseas Compatriot students) currently in Taiwan. Previously, the leap from a student visa to a work permit was restricted by salary thresholds and employer sponsorship hurdles.

-The 2-Year Open Work Window: Graduates with an Associate degree or higher can now apply to extend their residency in Taiwan for 1 year post-graduation. This extension can be renewed for a second year, allowing a total residency extension of 2 years . More importantly, you no longer need a specific work permit during this time; you have open work rights , meaning you can intern, freelance, work part-time or full-time while you find your ideal career path.

-　A Faster Path to Permanent Residency (APRC): Your time spent studying now officially counts toward your future. Depending on your degree, you can "deduct" 1 to 3 years from the standard 5-year residency requirement for an APRC. For example, a Master’s graduate only needs 3 additional years of professional residency to apply for permanent status.

-　Reminder, This is a Transition Period: After 2 years, you will still need to obtain formal employment under the regulations for Foreign Professionals in either one of these two pathways:

• The new Scoring System for Overseas Compatriot students and international students
• Application under the regulations for Foreign Professionals engaging in Specialized or Technical Work
