I work for a US firm remotely, I want to move to Taiwan

[quote=“traveller77”]I already mailed the “council of labour affairs” in Taiwan and they told me that I do not need a work permit if I do not work for a taiwanese company and no taiwanese company is involved in my work. They just were not very specific on the visa issue:
[color=#0040FF]“As for whether you can do teleworking while you are in Taiwan on vacation, it depends on your purpose of visiting Taiwan and what kind of visa you are granted. As a visa is normally issued for a specific “purpose of stay”, what activities the visa holder can engages in within territory of Taiwan shall be in accordance with the purpose(s) of the visa.”[/color][/quote]
The CLA doesn’t issue visas, the NIA does. What they are telling you is that it’s not their business.
