Yep. Confirmed. They definitely cannot hire foreigners.
I told her that she needs to revise the contract to make it more legal worthy
If the company cannot sponsor you, you will have to freelance on the side and they will probably pay you off the books.
You want to come to Taiwan. If you get the golden card, they you do not need to marry an employer. I know it is difficult in your field, but at least make sure any employer covers your basics: salary requirements, pay NHI and Alonso, vacation time, the works.
Alonso who?

sorry for the tardiness
Under audiovisual, other individuals reviewed and validated by MOC
I did mainly sports shows.
In that case, I think you should collect documents that show and prove you are an outstanding profetional as many as possible. List of your shows, national television prizes, work career, degree, etc. I think you need to contact MOC.
but in all fairness
I think I wonāt pass muster at the review.
All I did was very generic programs, didnāt won any prizes, not a degree holder (did have plenty of working experiences)
Then, I think you cannot get the gold card.
I shall give le prospective employer what I can give.
I nv see such an employer going in length to find solutions to employ me
This might be slightly easier.

mmm
thanks for the link!
But I too shall give what I am able to give to the employers
If I can get it, yea
If I canāt get it, then it is really not fated and continue to hone my skills in Singapore.
edit:
might as well give them my service record in the armed forces as well.
heh
Why are you giving this to the prospective employer? The card is yours, you should apply independently.
If you do not have a degree, though, I can see how all efforts are hitting a wall. Do you have any college level degree?
i do have diploma
correct me if Iām wrong
i remember in lieu of degree, one must have mre than 2 years of working experiences
Plus a diploma. A diploma and two years was the requirement for a normal run of the mill work permit. If you are applying for a gold card or any other variations thereof, you need to add sprinkles and bows and throw in the kitchen sink, if you know what I mean.
