Indians in Taiwan

There is a small community of Indians in Taiwan consisting mainly of immigrants and expatriates from India.

Another similar-sized early group of Indians is made up of families in the diamond and precious stones trade who sell their wares to Taiwanese jewelers.

[3][4] As a part of its "Look East" foreign policy, India has sought to cultivate extensive ties with Taiwan in trade and investment as well as developing cooperation in science and technology, environment issues and people-to-people exchanges.

This was deemed, according to the Taiwan Ministry of Education, as being due to a combination of low tuition fees in the country and easier availability of post-study work permits to foreign graduates.

Ayurvedic spas are cropping up in big hotels and beauty salons nationwide and there are also many Indian restaurants across the country.
