Modeling agencies in Taipei: the 3 verified agencies

A modeling agency in Taipei represents models to brands, magazines and fashion houses, and earns a commission on the fees you book, never on money you pay. I list 3 verified agencies in Taipei, a growing commercial and digital market in Asia.

Legal framework

In Taiwan, private employment services agencies must be licensed by the Ministry of Labor (Employment Service Act). The fees an agency may charge are strictly regulated and capped by the official standards, chargeable only after a written contract and a service actually provided; an agency that was not commissioned may not charge anything. An unlicensed agency, or one demanding upfront book or registration fees outside this framework, is acting unlawfully. A genuine agency represents you and is paid by its clients.

The modeling market in Taipei

In Taipei, 3 agencies represent women and 2 represent men, and one each for the Talent and Influencer boards. Taipei is a commercial and digital market, driven by advertising and a strong influence scene.

How to apply to an agency in Taipei

1 of the 3 agencies I list in Taipei accepts applications through an online form. For the others, you make contact via the details on their profile. You send recent, unretouched polaroids in natural light, with your measurements and date of birth. No professional book at this stage. To work in Taiwan, a foreign model needs a work permit from the Ministry of Labor and the matching visa; a visitor visa does not allow paid work.
