APRC yet another question

Taiwan Living in Taiwan

I am divorced and holding an APRC due to my previous marriage (so to be clear I am NOT holding a work related APRC).

Currently residing outside Taiwan on my first term of 2 years APRC leave.

I dont want to lose my APRC status (planing to retire in Taiwan depending on China/Taiwan situation) , so as far as I know I have 2 choices, either extending another 3 year term (based on their approval) or spending more than 183 days in Taiwan during a calender-year.

I am wondering whether the following might be possible :

2021 + 2022 complete out of Taiwan
2023 at least 183 days

2024 + 2025 applying again for 2 years absense
2026 again at least minimum days in TW

and so on …

Doing this scheme until I am reaching my retirement ago somewhere in the late 2030 …

Might this way be possible or is there any taiwanese government rule me preventing doing such way ?

And before you might ask … financially that would be doable for me.

Thank you for helpful answers.
Maybe someone from this forum has some kind of experience doing the same

I don’t know if there is any government rule preventing doing as such.

Did you find any sources?

I’m curious too, I’d like to do something like this.

I’ve heard of people getting infinite extensions and never returning but keeping the APRC.

I think all of those have been work-based APRCs where rules are slightly different (eg. 5 year away duration).
