The most significant and likely most controversial provisions of the Economic Immigration Act would create a yet another class of foreign nationals: foreign mid-level technicians. At least at first, foreign mid-level technicians would be migrant workers (including domestic workers and caregivers) already in Taiwan who currently have no feasible path to permanent residence or citizenship.IF THIS IS A CONTROVERSIAL why they didnt not remove this one so that it will passed already and other than this do anyone knows what is the other problems why this new economic act didnt pass in The legislature?

When would you think this bill would be finish?

Any news about it?

and it runs through December

in your opinion, do you think this would pass this year?

Even if the bill passes this year, the implementation will be in 2021.

This bill has been proposed many times but never went to second reading. If someone can find the TV recordings from the legislative sessions where it was discussed, we might be able to learn more.

Waiting again …

The New Economic Immigration Bill (新經濟移民法) has been in the news in recent weeks. One particularly negative article from the head of a local Economic Research Institute today indicates opposition as as strong as ever.

Also in the news, the government has stapled together a package of “priority legislation”, such as space. However, the New Economic Immigration Bill is not part of this tranche that will be dealt with first once the new legislative session is open.

The saga continues. It might be worth changing “new” to “old” in the thread title at some point…
