Do male nationals in Taiwan have to perform military service?

In Taiwan, all male nationals between the ages of 19 and 36, called men of service age (military men), must perform military service.

However, Taiwan has been fully converted to a recruiting system on January 1, 2018. Men born on or after January 1, 1994 do not need to perform another year of military service and instead receive four months of military training.

For men born on or before December 31, 1993, they only need to perform alternative service for one year to serve in the government or public institutions.
