I believe that Taiwan is making an extra effort for accomodating exceptionally talented professionals. Check the documentation for getting the gold card, I’m more than sure that there’s a “youtubers” section or something.
You could move here on your plan with money. But you might want a more solid story than “youtuber” despite if that’s what’s makes money in the world today. More realistically and honestly, pitch it as media and/or advertising. YouTube, Facebook etc might get you laughed out of your visa. Right or wrong, sarcasm aside, it’s a bad pitch officially.
Per an executive order by former President Ma Ying-jeou, YouTubers (along with foodbloggers) are on the Negative List for Investment by Overseas Chinese and Foreign Nationals published by the Ministry of Economic Affairs. Future investment will be prohibited and anyone found engaging in said trade will be immediately imprisoned.
Okay. Good luck with your… YouTubing. I don’t see you getting an ARC sponsor for that though. Also people are a bit sensitive about foreign vloggers since the Explorer Nick debacle.
