@eatdrinktravellife, have you given any more thought to enrolling in university or vocational school to get your TARC as per AF369/AF368/AF360?
By the way, I thought of something that is related to your discussion over in the How to get Permanent Residence as a NWOHR passport holder? thread. Enrolling in Mandarin classes is not an instant 1 year pathway to getting your TARC and then citizenship. But, it does say on the WDA (Work Development Agency) website EZ Work Taiwan-Foreign Students Enrolled in Taiwanese College of University Taking Part-time Jobs that if you enroll in language courses for 1 year or more, you can work part-time. It’s maximum 20 hours a week. At least this way you can be earning an income in Taiwan and improve your Chinese while working your way towards the 7 year requirement. It might even mean you don’t need to leave and come back during the period that you are enrolled? Not sure, worth looking into.
