WHAT IS THE GOLD CARD?

The Taiwan Employment Gold Card is a combined visa, work permit and residence
permit launched in 2018 to attract professional talent in Taiwan. The card gives
you the right to stay and work in Taiwan for 1 year to 3 years, and you can
apply online without sponsorship. The card comes with open work rights, so you
may work for any (or multiple) company in Taiwan or start your own business. You
can bring your family with you, and visitor rights for parents and grandparents
are also included. There are tax incentives for cardholders with high salaries.

Qualification is based on an asssessment of your professional skills, you don’t
need to have already secured a job in Taiwan. The Gold Card costs between USD100
and USD310 depending on your nationality and the duration of your card.


HOW LONG DOES THE APPLICATION TAKE?

A perfect application takes 30 days, if your supporting documents are accepted
the first time around and there are no external factors (eg COVID-19 delays). If
you are asked for tweaks to your supporting documents, expect 60+ days.


WHAT FEES ARE INVOLVED IN A GOLD CARD APPLICATION?

There is only one fee, which is paid through the Gold Card application portal.
There are no separate visa or work permit fees.

The fees varies if you apply from Taiwan or overseas, the duration of the visa,
and your nationality. You can check the “Fees for Employment Gold Card” section
of the application portal.


DO I QUALIFY?

In order to qualify for an Employment Gold Card your skills must be related to
one of eight areas: Science and Technology, Economics, Education, Culture and
Art, Sport, Finance, Law and Architecture. You must select which single ministry
is most relevant, and in most cases also select a specific entry in the list of
that qualifications in that particular area for your application. Use the Gold
Card Qualification Check to find the relevant choices for you.


DO I NEED TO HAVE A HIGH SALARY TO APPLY FOR A GOLD CARD?

No. Some industries have a category where applicants with a salary greater than
NT$160,000 qualify. However, this is only one category. To date, none of the
categories other than the dedicated salary category have financial requirements.
If you have skills, please consider applying regardless of salary!
