Also, in accordance with the provisions of Article 79 of the Employment Services Act, where overseas compatriots concurrently hold the nationality of a foreign country, their employment to work in Taiwan will be handled in accordance with the provisions applying to foreign nationals, as stipulated in the provison of this Article.

Explanation
- Article 5 Paragraph 2 of the Immigration Act prescribes that ROC nationals without household registration in Taiwan must apply for permission to enter Taiwan. But considering that, under Taiwan’s current visa exemption rules, citizens of countries to which Taiwan grants visa exemption may enter Taiwan without a visa and stay for up to 90 days, and that, among overseas compatriots living outside Taiwan, there are many with outstanding talents in all fields of expertise, and that they have a blood and emotional attachment to Taiwan, so they ought to be subject to relatively favorable rules. Therefore, Paragraph 1 relaxes the law to allow overseas compatriots to whom this Act applies to be granted exemption from applying for an entry permit or to apply for a permit upon arrival, and provides for regulations governing those to whom this applies, the approval conditions, and time limit of stay, to be set separately by the Ministry of the Interior in consultation with related authorities.
- Article 9 Paragraph 1 Subparagraph 11 and Article 3 of the Immigration Act prescribe that overseas compatriots who have been approved to engage in professional work in Taiwan may apply to the NIA for residency and the issuance of the residence certificate of Taiwan Area. But considering that those to whom this Act applies also include persons engaging in professional and mid-level technical work under exemption from obtaining permission, the law is accordingly relaxed to allow all such overseas compatriots to apply for residency.
- Paragraph 3 stipulates that when overseas compatriots approved to engage in mid-level technical work in Taiwan are students or basic-level workers, they must apply to the NIA to change their purpose of residence and to be issued with a new resident certificate.
- Paragraph 4 is prescribed with reference to Article 9 Paragraphs 3 to 5 of the Immigration Act.
