Taiwan is also set to launch a digital nomad visa!

To attract international talent, Japan, South Korea, and Thailand have all introduced digital nomad visas.

Recently, Taiwan government mentioned that Taiwan also plans to introduce a "Digital Nomad Visa" in the future, allowing international talent to come to Taiwan with the opportunity to stay longer.

In the past, digital nomads usually came to Taiwan with a tourist visa or visa exemption, which allowed them to stay for up to 3 months. With the introduction of the "Digital Nomad Visa," digital nomads will be able to stay in Taiwan for up to 6 months. More details are still being worked out.

Since the "Digital Nomad Visa" does not require legislative amendments, it can be quickly implemented after coordination with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The proposal is expected to be submitted in the next legislative session.

In the past, Taiwan also introduced the "Employment Gold Card" policy for high-level foreign talent.

The Employment Gold Card is a document that consolidates work permits, residence visas, foreign resident certificates, and re-entry permits into one, providing eligible foreign talents the flexibility to freely seek employment, work, and change jobs during its validity.

The Employment Gold Card is valid for 1 to 3 years, depending on the applicant's preference, with the option to reapply upon expiration.

The future introduction of the Digital Nomad Visa will further open the door, attracting more international talent to Taiwan.
