In order to attract foreign special professionals by relieving them from difficulties of applying for employment permits, changing employment, and not being able to work part-time – including the difficulty and inconvenience of requiring a separate employment permit application for every short-term paid employment as consultant or technical instructor in the private sector, even for just delivering a lecture – and taking reference from Singapore’s Personalised Employment Pass (PEP) scheme, Article 9 of the Foreign Professionals Act prescribes that “A foreign special professional who plans to engage in professional work in the State may apply direct to the NIA for a 4-in-1 Employment Gold Card that combines work permit, resident visa, ARC and re-entry permit.”

· Pursuant to this provision, the Ministry of the Interior has formulated the Regulations on Application for an Employment Gold Card by Foreign Special Professionals. 
‧ For the application Fee for the Employment Gold Card, please refer to Fee-Charging Standards for Employment Gold Cards, Employment Pass Cards and Entrepreneur Visas​.

For the Employment Gold Card application process, please check out the Taiwan Employment Gold Card website first, then submit your application at the MOI’s Foreign Professionals Online Application Platform！
