Getting a Taiwanese Drone Licence: Tiers, the No-Skipping Rule, Fees, and Timeline
The general licence is written-test only and costs NT$450 total (NT$200 test + NT$250 certificate). The professional basic tier adds a practical test and medical exam for NT$1,900. Professional tiers must be climbed in order — reaching the top bracket realistically takes 18 months to two years. Each advanced group (G1/G2/G3) costs another NT$1,200. Fee figures come from Annex 17 of the regulations; the widely circulated 'NT$500 practical test' is wrong.
