You can do better. I also used Marco’s CPA several years ago. I don’t remember what I paid, but a couple of steps had to be redone. Maybe he has more experience now.

It may be easier to apply for TW citizenship (if you can) and then you don’t have to deal with this nonsense with going through investment committee for every capital change

Data point: I paid 50k for a different CPA in 2025. Open work rights, sole owner, but with foreign initial capital
so 60k doesn’t seem like complete robbery

Never had any doubt. Wasn’t sure if I needed to pay the premium but I think I will go ahead with them.
I’ll do that for sure. There’s a gap in my stay though, need another year to qualify.
Would being a NWOHR be enough or does one need HHR to skip the investment committee…?
I’m not certain, but you want to avoid the ‘僑外資’ status on your company. Google says:
“An Overseas Chinese & Foreign Investment (OCFI) company refers to a company established in Taiwan by overseas Chinese or foreign investors in accordance with Taiwan’s “Foreign Investment Act” or “Overseas Chinese Returning to Taiwan Investment Act,” and approved by the Investment Review Division. The establishment process requires approval from the Investment Commission, capital remittance filing, business registration, and tax registration. Key steps include obtaining the investment approval letter, opening a preparatory office bank account, and submitting certification documents.”
So maybe one of those two acts would have the answer on whether NWOHR is considered a 僑外資 company
