What Exactly Is An Article 51 Work Permit?

If someone has an Article 51 work permit, does that mean that can work just like a local pending any other requirements like degrees, certifications, etc.? Are there different types of Article 51 permits that have different requirements?

This is the terminology at the top of the permit: 外國人工作許可證(依就業服務法第51條)Permit for Foreigners

There is a lot of old discussion here which doesn’t seem to apply now based on possibility of new laws and regulations and some of the older discussion seems conflicting and even wrong.

Art. 51 was last amended in 2003, so most of the discussion about it is still relevant.
