大家好,
上次跟大家分享我對於馬英九和習近平的第二次見面的觀察,最近,全球人力資源平台Remote.com公布了一份全球一百個適合遠距工作的城市排名,而台北排名第八,今天想跟大家分享台北為什麼是全球最適合遠距工作的城市之一,還有我個人的居住的經驗和觀察。
Remote.com 評估的指標
Remote.com 評估最適合遠距工作城市時,參考了八個指標,分別是網路速度、對遊客的吸引力、城市的開放性、生活品質、鼓勵遠距工作措施、生活成本、安全和通貨膨脹。
全球最適合遠距工作的前十名城市
根據上面提到的八個指標,全球最適合遠距工作的前十個城市從第一名開始分別是西班牙馬德里、葡萄牙馬德拉自治區、加拿大多倫多、紐西蘭奧克蘭、日本東京、法國巴黎、美國緬因州波特蘭、台灣台北、 瑞典斯德哥爾摩和冰島雷克雅維克。
為什麼台北是全球最適合遠距工作的城市之一?
根據網站報導指出,台北提供數位遊牧者「台灣就業金卡」,可以讓數位遊牧者在台灣工作和居住。 台北的網路很快,也有很多共同工作空間,交通也很便利,還有許多活動,另外, 台北對 LGBTQ+ 群體也很友善。雖然生活成本高於亞洲其他地區,但還是比很多西方國家便宜。
「台灣就業金卡」是什麼?
「台灣就業金卡」是台灣政府給特定專業領域人士申請的簽證,包含了科技、經濟、教育、文化、藝術、體育、金融、法律和建築設計領域,申請到台灣就業金卡後,可以在1-3年內,不限次數進出台灣,也可以在台灣停留180天以上。
我個人對於台北的想法
以我個人住在台北的經驗來說,我覺得台北的確是一個適合遠距工作的城市,台北的交通是台灣最方便的,如果你不知道怎麼騎機車或開車,居住在台北是最好的選擇。比起其他台灣的城市,台北人會說英文的比例也比其他城市高。但是如果你問我台北是不是台灣最適合居住的城市,對我來說並不是,我不喜歡台北的原因包含台北是台灣最貴的城市、人真的太多了,但是台北的確有很多活動可以參加。不過坦白說,我認為台灣所有城市都可以遠距工作,台灣各地的網路都很不錯,即使是台灣東部的網路也很穩定。台灣每個地方都很安全,女孩子晚上獨自一個人出門也沒問題。除了比較偏遠的山上之外,即使不會騎車或開車,大部分的地方都有公車可以到。所以,台灣並不是只有台北適合遠距工作,而是每個城市都適合遠距工作。

Hello everyone,
Last time, I shared with you my observations on the second meeting between Ma Ying-jeou and Xi Jinping. Recently, the global human resources platform Remote.com released a ranking of the top 100 cities worldwide suitable for remote work, with Taipei ranking eighth. Today, I'd like to share with you why Taipei is one of the best cities globally for remote work, along with my personal experiences and observations living there.
Indicators Evaluated by Remote.com
When evaluating the most suitable cities for remote work, Remote.com considered eight indicators: internet speed, attractiveness to tourists, openness of the city, quality of life, measures encouraging remote work, cost of living, safety, and inflation.
Top Ten Cities Globally for Remote Work
Based on the eight indicators mentioned above, the top ten cities globally for remote work, starting from the first place, are Madrid, Spain; Madeira, Portugal; Toronto, Canada; Auckland, New Zealand; Tokyo, Japan; Paris, France; Portland, Maine, USA; Taipei, Taiwan; Stockholm, Sweden; and Reykjavik, Iceland.
Why Taipei is One of the Best Cities Globally for Remote Work?
According to the website, Taipei offers digital nomads the "Taiwan Gold Card", which allows them to work and reside in Taiwan. Taipei boasts fast internet, numerous co-working spaces, convenient transportation, and a lot of activities. Additionally, Taipei is LGBTQ+ friendly. Although the cost of living is higher than in other Asian regions, it is still cheaper than in many Western countries.
What is the "Taiwan Gold Card"?
The "Taiwan Gold Card" is a visa granted by the Taiwanese government to professionals in specific fields including technology, economics, education, culture, arts, sports, finance, law, and architecture. With this card, one can enter and exit Taiwan an unlimited number of times within 1-3 years and stay in Taiwan for more than 180 days.
My Personal Thoughts on Taipei
From my personal experience living in Taipei, I do believe Taipei is indeed a city suitable for remote work. Taipei has the most convenient transportation in Taiwan, if you don't know how to ride a scooter or drive, living in Taipei is the best choice. In comparison to other cities in Taiwan, the percentage of people who can speak English is also higher than in other cities. However, if you ask me whether Taipei is the most suitable city to live in Taiwan, it's not for me. I dislike Taipei for reasons including it being the most expensive city in Taiwan and being too crowded. However, Taipei does offer many activities to participate in. Honestly, I think all cities in Taiwan are suitable for remote work. The internet is good everywhere, even in the eastern regions of Taiwan being stable. Every place in Taiwan is very safe, and it's not a problem for girls to go out alone at night. Apart from more remote mountainous areas, most places have bus services available even if you don't know how to ride or drive. So, it's not just Taipei that's suitable for remote work, but every city in Taiwan.
I hope you enjoyed today's sharing. If you have any further questions or topics that you'd like to know regarding this topic, feel free to leave a comment.
