I’m sure this has been dealt with before, but my searches are only getting old information.
What rights do have when you get your JFRV. I thought you were then able to work as you pleased. But now I see something about applying for an Open Work Permit. What is the current process for this, and what rights does it give you. Can you work for anybody, in any field, employ yourself etc…
Strange… over 20 pages in just ONE thread of several about JFRV’s, but it appears nobody who has one applied for an open work permit.
The open work permit is no longer necessary if you have a JFRV based on your marriage to a Taiwanese citizen. You will have full work rights if you have the JFRV that I described above. That much I can tell you. If you have a different situation, please clarify and I’m sure somebody can help you.

What Scomargo said…with the JFRV, you have open work rights i.e work anywhere you wish (except for certain govt. posts, jobs which require special skills etc)…The Open Work Permit is required when one holds an APRC or PARC which can be applied for at the Council of Labor Affairs.
Thanks. That is great news. A bit surprising but good to hear. So I don’t need anything from my schools then.
Nope, you don’t need anything from your school…if you’re married, just show them your ARC (On it, it will be printed "居留事由: 衣親 - “Your wife’s name”)…this is good enough for the cops in case they come raid your school…
