Taiwan Investment Visa

[manhattan]

Hi all,

Pretty specific question but this seems as good as any place to ask - have you experience or encountered anyone that's in Taiwan on the investment visa? Believe it's a ~200k USD investment requirement. I've been looking into it as a possible option but there's not a whole lot of "testimonials" out there. I believe the investment must be either into your own company that you form, or into a small non-listed company. For the latter, I wonder how risky this could be.

Anyway, I've been reading the blog for just a short while and have a lot of past posts / discussion to catch up on. I'm also a US expat (in Macau - married to a Macau local) and am looking at (hopefully) FI in the next 3.5-4 years. Taiwan seems a very attractive destination and I'm glad I have this as a resource to study up on it as a possibility.

Thanks.

I have met 2 people who have used the investment visa or business visa for Taiwan residency, but I don't know much about it myself.

I will ping one of them and see if they are open to answering questions.

That would be much appreciated.

I’m also interested in this! Can it be for a family of three? Wondering how this would work!

Awhile back I pinged the people I know who have done this and they weren't able to put anything into writing for a guest post...

... so nothing planned to share how this works, sorry.

Thank you for the reply at least
