If you’ve seen the other threads, you will have seen that it’s debatable (or like you wrote, disputed):
My impression is that both the MOL and NIA have hinted that it’s not a problem, or not their problem… but that’s not something I’d like to be the one to test if it became a problem. It seems to me that performing activities outside of the scope of one’s visa might still be an issue for the NIA if they wanted to take things seriously.
I don’t think you’ll be able to “tackle” this in a convenient way (i.e., without getting some kind of open work permit independent of the remote work and without you or the company opening some representative entity here).
Even unpaid work requires a work permit, as the Employment Service Act defines “work” broadly. This includes any labor or services performed with or without compensation.
If you want to tutor for free, just call it a language exchange. Most guys use it to get a girlfriend but I guess in your case your motivations are different. Your friend can thank you for spending time with her children with a nice Chinese family dinner or a hongbao on the holidays since you’re a good friend.
read what you wrote. I cannot work for free. That’s right. To work you need a work permit. Anyone employing you without a work permit can be fined up to NT$750,000.
You can be fined, deported and banned for up to ten years. Minimum ban is now three years.
I remember many decades ago going to Taiwan and teaching privately as well as at a cram school. It didn’t seem as strict then. I guess times have changed.
