Para quem é este guia

For tourism, semiconductor and tech jobs, Gold Card talent, and ARC holders looking at family or settlement.

Como visitar e por quanto tempo

Many passports are visa-free for 14–90 days. Mainland Chinese residents generally need an Exit & Entry Permit, not visa-free entry. Visitors cannot work; overstays can mean a ban.

Trabalho e residência

Ordinary work needs a labour permit then an ARC. The Employment Gold Card combines work and residence for high earners or listed professions. Study and family have their own ARC grounds.

Residência permanente e nacionalidade

Settlement or permanent residence usually needs continuous residence plus day-count rules. Gold Card holders have a distinct PR path. Mainland Chinese residents fall under Cross-Strait rules, not the foreign-national track. Confirm with the National Immigration Agency.

Time to PR：Usually 5 years
