FALSE. [color=#FF0000]A foreign spouse of a foreign national on either an employment based ARC or an APRC is qualified and entitled to a JFRV based ARC. [/color]However, a dependent ARC based on a foreigner’s employment based ARC or APRC is only entitled to legally reside in Taiwan with their sponsoring spouse. It doesn’t allow any entitlement to working.
[color=#FF0000]A foreign spouse on a JFRV based ARC married to a Taiwanese citizen is the only JFRV status which has unrestricted work rights.[/color]
those two sentences contradicts each other. Only foreign spouses married to Taiwanese citizen have unrestricted work rights.[/quote]
Well, let’s see. I’ve been wrong before, so it’s no stretch that I might have contradicted myself. However, I was responding to two separate posts and they shouldn’t be taken out of context in order to keep my intended meaning. Therefore, let’s examine my contradictory statements as they were orginally made.
Here, Charlie Phillips makes a false statement regardng JFRV and unrestricted work rights. If a foreigner married to a Taiwanese citizen has a JFRV, then yes, it’s true that they have unrestricted work rights and don’t need a permit. However, if the JFRV holder is married to another foreigner who is either on an employment based ARC or an APRC, then they don’t have unrestricted work rights and must get a work-permit based on their own qualifications for employment. The response to his statement below, doesn’t appear to be incorrect to me. Why do you think it’s incorrect?
[color=#FF0000]FALSE.[/color] The OP’s husband is an American citizen, not a Taiwanese citizen. A dependent with a JFRV based on a foreigner’s APRC is not entitled to unrestricted work rights and must get their own work-permit in order to legally work.[/quote]
Here, bigduke6 states that the only way to get a JFRV is by being married to a Taiwan citizen and being married to a foreigner on an APRC won’t get you a JFRV. That’s false. I’ve known many foreigners on employment based ARCs who sponsored their wives for a JFRV ARC. The dependent wives had the right to reside in Taiwan with their employment based ARCs husbands, but didn’t have unrestricted work rights. In order to work, they had to be sponsored by a company for their own work-permit. The same is true for foreigners who hold an APRC. They can sponsor their spouse for a JFRV ARC, but they also don’t have unrestricted work rights, either. My response below also doesn’t look incorrect. Why do you think this is wrong?
[quote=“Northcoast Surfer”][quote=“bigduke6”]As far as I am aware, you only get a JFRV by marrying a Taiwan national.
Marrying someone with a APRC, will not get you this visa.[/quote]

So, in conclusion, I don’t believe that I’ve contradicted myself at all. If you still think I have, please point out the errors in my thought process.
Take these three hypothetical situations. They don’t appear contradictory to me.
-
An American wife can have a dependent JFRV ARC based on her American husband’s APRC, but she can’t work legally. Residency only. No work-permit, no legal work.
-
An American wife can have a dependent JFRV ARC based on her American husband’s employment based ARC, but she can’t work legally. Residency only, no work-permit, no legal work.
-
An American wife can have a dependent JFRV ARC based on her Taiwanese husband. Then, she gets residency and unrestricted work rights.
I hate being wrong. Please correct me.
