This is interesting…because I was under the impression that a JFRV didn’t permit you to work. Am I wrong? Because I am a social worker and want to do counseling but have yet to find a way to get a work permit. But can I work with my resident visa?
Yes.
If you are married to a Taiwanese your JFRV will permit you to work.
On the other hand, if your JFRV is dependent on a non-Taiwanese spouse, you can not work.

“Regulations” cannot take precedence over “laws.”
The Employment Services Act is a law. The ESA says that a foreign spouse has unrestricted work rights in Taiwan.
In other words, a foreign spouse with residency based on marriage can do any work he/she so desires, if the employer is willing to hire him/her.
Richard, thank you for your advice on these pages.
One more question.
Foreign bride. OK
Does this right to work apply to an unskilled bride married to a foreigner?
Any skilled or unskilled bride who is married to a foreigner (not Taiwanese) does not have the right to work, ACCEPT ONLY they are married to a Taiwanese OR any employer in this country who is willing to apply ARC for them.

There’s something postedover here.
An Immigration official also informed me verbally today that even with an open work permit (JFRV-based ARC due to marriage to a Taiwanese spouse who is a Taiwan resident) you essentially can’t teach kindy or preschool, unless the kindy is lucky enough to get one of the very rare licenses allowing this.
