Our relationship with Taiwan
While we do not maintain diplomatic relations with Taiwan, we do have a vibrant economic and cultural relationship.
Taiwan is an important source of imports, tourism and investment, and an important export market for New Zealand. New Zealand has an agreement on Economic Cooperation with the Separate Customs Territory of Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen and Matsu which was signed in 2013. In addition, we are both members of the WTO, APEC, a number of fisheries conventions and the Asian Development Bank.
As well as trade, we enjoy extensive people-to-people links. There are employment opportunities for New Zealanders in Taiwan, particularly in teaching. New Zealanders aged between 18 and 30 can apply for a 12-month working holiday visa for Taiwan.
