New laws came into effect 27th Feb? Stay/Residence/Permanent

Can anyone who reads traditional chinese and has a legal brain look at this, is this recent change to the law significant to foreigners in taiwan?
Posted on the NIA’s website yesterday (chinese only):

Maybe, I don’t read chinese so I can’t be sure.
The Links I posted relate to new laws/amendments that came nto force only last week. The link you posted came into effect May 2000.
So the new stuff in chinese on the NIA is definetly relating to some new changes.

I took a quick look and it basically has to do with that topic: provisions for ROC nationals to leave, there was a link to an absence permit, not much else.

Was the the first or second URL I posted?
It sounds like it might be the second one as that seems to be about permission to leave/absence permits etc.

Yep, and it specially affects people with PARCs, if I’m not mistaken.
(By the way, what did you use for the English translation?)

The second link is the application plus Q&A -who needs to do it, the form to apply, etc.

This is for Taiwanese citizens. It says that if you want to know if you have some kind of “impediment” towards leaving teh country, you can look it up on teh Internet or go to teh local police station and check it out:

[quote]一、居住臺灣地區設有戶籍國民查詢有無經禁止出國,可利用
自然人憑證上網查詢,或持相關證明文件親自至本署各縣
市服務站查詢本人有無經禁止出國。[/quote]

so this one is the part for foreigners?:

immigration.gov.tw/aspcode/L … NodeID=150

does it change the visa regs / application requirements for foreigners?

I used google to translate, although its not much use for legal stuff as it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense once translated.
