So I want to come teach in Taiwan and continue my side job, which is wood sculpture. I sell all my art online and none of it in Taiwan.
Let’s say I was dating someone and we broke up, or maybe one of my competitors found out I was in Taiwan, and they alerted the authorities, is my ass grass?
How much does the govt care about this sort of thing? Is there an appeals process if I have plausible deniability?
Are you on ARC, not APRC?
Does the art money goes to Taiwan bank account?
If both answer yes, you will violate your work permit limitation.
on ARC
no i goes to a foreign bank account
You’ll need to open a business and get the work permit from that business.
The side job you’re describing falls into the category of remote work for which you do not require a work permit. You will not be hired by a Taiwanese employer, and you will not be selling to people in Taiwan. (ie. You won’t be taking away a local’s job).
That’s probably all there really is to say here, under our rules about not inciting illegal acts.
This can be discussed however. Given the OP content I’ll close this. There’s a number related of threads:
