Hi
I am about to accept a job offer in Taiwan. I am however not married but want my girlfriend to join me once I am settled there.
Is it easy for her to stay there and find employment if we are not married?
Or do you have to be a champion in the 110m hurdles and get through the paperwork in order to be able to stay there together?
I am not sure if this has been addressed previously …
Well, if you tell us where your girlfriend is from, it might be easier to give you a good answer. Also, if she would be willing to be an English teacher, for example.
She is from Singapore.
She does not have a teacher’s background. She is experienced working with medical affairs in large hospitals.
I hope this helps.

OK. Thanks for the extra info. Actually, we still don’t know where you are from, but I guess it doesn’t make much difference.
There problem is that unless you are married, then she will not get a visa purely for being your girlfriend (even if you were married, she would get a non-working visa only (as far as I know)).
So the only answer is for her to get a visa independently from you, to work in a hospital or something. Sorry it’s not better news.
Unless someone else can offer further advice?
There was a similar thread about this quite recently, but I can’t seem to find it. Perhaps some kind soul could post a link?
I am having the same problem right now. My fiance has a job offer in Taiwan and we are trying to figure out how to get a job for me along with a resident visa. You can read the responses to my inquiry here –
