I think that this information is important enough to post in a couple of different forums.
I am an American, just married to a Taiwanese National.

I need to show the HR department some kind of Chinese evidence of this Article 48. (To prove that I got full working rights).
Is there an official website or brochure from the Labor Affairs that has the full text of this article? (In Chinese). I know Richard got this on his Taiwan Advice site, but I need something more official to prove it’s the real thing.
