[quote=“skulls”]So sorry, I should have better researched this, but I couldn’t find a clear answer in the forums. If you remember me, I’m the guy from this thread: Should I move to Taiwan?
Basically, I am wondering in my young son (American passport), wife (Chinese passport) and I (American passport) could get residency if I were to work as an English teacher part time or semi-part time? My situation is that I basically want to continue working at my online endeavours (which net about $5000 USD a month) but setting up a company in Taiwan sounds overly and perhaps needlessly complicated. Is it possible to work 8-10 hours a week as an English teacher while getting some sort of residency for my family given our passports?
Any advice most appreciated!

8-10 hours won’t cut it at the regular rates. Setting up a company will take 1-2 weeks, less than 300USD$ in total and be more stable and less stressful for you and your family.
