Professionals from Hong Kong or Macau may extend their residency for up to one year under new rules announced yesterday by the Ministry of the Interior.
The amendments to the Regulations Governing Residency or Permanent Residency for People of the Hong Kong Area and the Macau Area (香港澳門居民進入臺灣地區及居留定居許可辦法) were passed to comply with the Act for the Recruitment and Employment of Foreign Professionals (外國專業人才延攬及僱用法) promulgated on July 7 last year, the ministry said.
The government has to offer measures that would not only attract professional talent, but also encourage them to bring over their families, and allow their families to find jobs
