Taiwan’s NT$10,000 Universal Cash Giveaway 2025 – A Kid-Friendly Guide
What Is This NT$10,000 Cash All About?
Imagine the Taiwan government is like a super generous parent who found extra money in a giant piggy bank. Instead of saving it all, they decided: “Let’s give NT$10,000 to every single person in Taiwan!” This isn’t toy money — it’s real cash you can use to buy ice cream, toys, or save for a new bike. The program starts in November 2025 and is designed to make everyone smile during tough times when things cost more.
Who Can Get the Money?
Almost everyone!
- If you have a Taiwan ID → Yes!
- If you’re a newborn baby → Yes!
- If you’re a foreigner with permanent residency → Yes!
- If your parents work abroad but you have Taiwan nationality → Still yes!
The only people who can’t get it are those with no connection to Taiwan at all. Even babies born between November 2025 and April 30, 2026 can get it — parents just need to claim by May 22, 2026. It’s like getting a late birthday gift!
5 Super Easy Ways to Get Your NT$10,000
The government made 5 different “treasure hunt” paths so everyone can choose the easiest one:
- Online Registration (Fastest – Like Winning a Game Prize)
- Starts: November 5, 2025
- Go to: https://10000.gov.tw/
- Enter: ID number, bank account, health insurance card number
- Money arrives in 1–2 days! (Early birds from Nov 5–10 get it by Nov 11–12)
- Auto Deposit (No Effort – Like Milk Delivery)
- For seniors or people already getting government aid
- Money auto-dropped into their bank by November 12, 2025
- ATM Cash Pickup (Like a Vending Machine for Money)
- Starts: November 17, 2025
- Use any bank card at special “Cash Giveaway” ATMs
- Enter ID + health card number → NT$10,000 pops out!
- No fees, even across banks!
- Post Office Counter (Like Picking Up a Red Envelope)
- Starts: November 24, 2025 (latest start to avoid crowds)
- Bring ID or household register → sign → get cash
- Perfect for grandparents who don’t use phones
- Remote Area Delivery (Like Teacher Handing Out Homework)
- For super far places: Hualien Wanrong, Taitung Jinfeng, Pingtung Shizi
- Local police or village offices will hand it out directly
How Kids Under 13 Get the Money
You can’t go alone (too much money!), so mom or dad helps:
- They use their bank but add your health card number
- At post office or ATM, they bring your documents
- Kids under 7 must have parents claim it
Why Cash, Not Vouchers?
Past programs gave “vouchers” (like gift cards for specific shops). This time? Pure cash!
- You decide: spend, save, donate, or help family
- Vouchers = “Only usable at McDonald’s”
- Cash = “Use anywhere — 7-11, night market, online!”
Why Give to Everyone (Even Rich People)?
This is called “no income check” (no means test). Reasons:
- Saves time – checking who’s rich or poor takes months
- No fighting – everyone feels included, no jealousy
- Happiness boost – like whole class getting pizza, not just top 5 students
Yes, some rich people might save it instead of spend — but the government says: “That’s okay! Happy society > perfect economics.”
Watch Out for Scams!
Bad guys love free money news. Government will NEVER:
- Send SMS with links
- Call and ask you to press ATM buttons
- Ask you to transfer money
Only trust:
- Website: https://10000.gov.tw/
- Hotline: 1998 (8:30–18:30)
- Anti-scam line: 165
Think of it like your birthday red envelope — only mom/dad (government) gives it through the official door.
What Can You Do with NT$10,000?
Anything!
- Buy 100 ice creams
- Save for a PlayStation
- Help mom buy groceries
- Donate to stray animals
It’s your choice — that’s the magic of real cash!
Bigger Picture: Why Does This Help Taiwan?
- Happy hearts: People feel supported
- Money moves: You spend → shops earn → they spend → everyone wins (like dominoes!)
- Baby families: Extra help for diapers and milk
Long-term? The government hopes this “starting gun” makes everyone run faster toward a brighter future.
