Internship Resident Visa (實習居留簽證)

The Dependent Family Member Resident Visa for Taiwan is designed to facilitate family reunification for foreign nationals working or residing in the country. Historically, Taiwan has expanded these provisions to support its 'New Gold Card' and 'Act for the Recruitment and Employment of Foreign Professionals,' ensuring that the families of high-level professionals, investors, and long-term residents can maintain a stable household environment. The visa serves as the primary legal mechanism for spouses and minor children to obtain residency status derivative of a primary visa holder's Alien Resident Certificate (ARC).

This pathway is ideal for the immediate family members of foreign professionals, entrepreneurs, and permanent residents who intend to relocate to Taiwan for the duration of the primary holder's contract or residency. It is specifically tailored for those who do not independently qualify for employment or investment visas but require long-term stay rights. A key distinguishing feature of this visa is its direct linkage to the primary holder's status; the validity and conditions of the dependent's residency are intrinsically tied to the primary applicant's legal standing in Taiwan.
