I’m from Malaysia and am interested in finding out more about the Taiwanese PR via investment option. It’s my understanding that to qualify, there is an option to invest in NT$30 million worth of government bonds over 3 years. I find it a little hard to get information about this visa and I have a few questions:
(1) Does the investor have to spend a certain amount of time in Taiwan during the 3 year period in order to qualify for the PR?
(2) Is the investor issued a residence card (ARC) at the start of the 3 year investment period?
I’d like to find out more about this and other options of mgrating to Taiwan. I’ve never lived in Taiwan before but have visited a couple of times and I love the place. If anyone could recommend any migration agents or organisations who could help me learn more, please let me know.
(1) Any foreign national, applying for the Alien Permanent Resident Card (Plum Blossom Card) under the terms of an investment over NT$15 million in a for-profit enterprise in Taiwan that has generated five or more job opportunities for ROC nationals for over 3 years, or under the terms of an investment over NT$30 million in Taiwanese government bonds for over 3 years is required to have held an Alien Resident Certificate which is still valid at the time when the application is submitted, and the applicant is not subject to the requirement that he/she shall have resided in Taiwan for at least 183 days annually.
