Abstract: This study aims at revealing problems for sending the Indonesian Overseas Migrant Workers (IOMW) in Taiwan. Forty workers who got contract problems at the two shelter houses in Taichung and Taoyuan became respondents of this study. In addition, six resource persons had been interviewed to enrich this study. Findings can be identified as contract breaching between the employers or agencies with the workers, experiencing long work hours, improper working condition, inflicting sexual harassment etc. However, the workers could avail of the facilities provided by the Taiwan government and Indonesian consular office in Taipei in the form of e-counseling.
