Taiwan

Employment Gold Card
Income Required 5,000 USD
Tax Status Tax Resident (Progressive)
Validity 1 to 3 Years

Taiwan offers a blend of safety, convenience, and incredible food culture. The Gold Card is more than a visa; it is an open work permit that grants VIP banking and residency privileges to top-tier talent.

Eligibility is skill-based, but the easiest route is verifying a monthly salary of 160,000 TWD (~$5,000 USD). This is the gold standard for tech workers looking to base themselves in the semiconductor heart of Asia.

⚠️ Legal Complexity: High

The Taiwan visa process is known to be bureaucratic. Mistakes with tax registration or documentation often lead to rejection.

We highly recommend consulting with a local immigration specialist before submitting your application.
