The Taiwanese government announced several changes to immigration policy, effective March 1.
Key Points:
Additional Information: Taiwanese officials have also recently introduced more restrictive changes to immigration policy, including for foreign nationals born in mainland China. These individuals must now submit additional supporting documents when applying for an alien residence card or alien permanent residence card to prove that they do not have a household registration in China or have obtained a Chinese passport.
Overstay penalties have also increased to NT$10,000–NT$50,000 (from NT$2,000–NT$10,000), and the maximum ban from entering the country due to overstay has increased from three to seven years.
BAL Analysis: The Taiwanese government intends to revise immigration policies to benefit certain resident visa holders and visitor visa holders to reduce difficulties in applying for Alien Resident Certificates or extend visitor visas. Alternatively, fine increases for overstay and a greater maximum entry ban demonstrate the government’s attempt to deter overstays and illegal work.
