Common Visa Options for Foreigners Who Want to Work and Stay in Taiwan

​Embarking on the journey into Taiwan’s job market, foreign professionals often find themselves grappling with intricate work permit procedures and complex qualification criteria. This workshop delves into two prominent options for working and residing in Taiwan: the Employment Gold Card and the traditional work permit, providing you with a comprehensive guide.

Since 2018, the Taiwanese government has adopted a more attractive system for foreign talents – the Employment Gold Card, a one-stop solution for work permits, resident visas, alien resident certificates, and re-entry permits. This system was aimed at streamlining the cumbersome application processes for talents and has become the preferred choice for foreign professionals. Xirilaw’s legal team will introduce the Employment Gold Card, outlining eligibility criteria and application procedures.

In addition to the Employment Gold Card, we will uncover the qualification standards and recent easing trends of traditional work permits. Whether you are an entrepreneur or a professional seeking new opportunities, this salon aims to help you gain in-depth insights into both the Employment Gold Card and traditional work permits.
