How Can New Residents / Vietnamese-Speaking Users Find Local Services in Taiwan?

What needs do you often face living in Taiwan?

Beyond work, the daily life of new residents and migrant workers in Taiwan also involves finding restaurants, massage, laundry, pharmacies, transport, and other local services. Language barriers can make phone bookings and Chinese-only menus difficult; an app that supports Vietnamese or English lowers that barrier.

The Local Point interface supports Traditional Chinese, English, and Tiếng Việt, making it easy for users from different backgrounds to browse merchants and order.

What can you find in the app?

You can filter by your city to reduce cross-district commuting; some merchant pages have basic English or photo menus, so you can confirm items before ordering.

• Food, drinks, and takeout pickup
• Booking services like massage and hair salons
• Laundry and shoe cleaning
• Travel must-eat and must-visit (for visitors or weekend outings)
• Group meal group-buy pickup

How to switch language and get started?

Browsing merchants usually doesn’t require logging in; to view your order history, we recommend registering an account and linking an email.

• Choose Tiếng Việt or English in the app or web settings
• Android users can join the Google Play beta to install the app
• You can also open local-point.asia directly in a browser

Practical advice for new residents

Start by exploring categories near your home and favorite the shops you visit often. If a shop supports online pay, you can reduce cash-and-change communication; if you prefer cash, just choose merchants that support paying cash on site. If you run into problems, you can seek help through in-app customer support and the help pages.
