Do I need to fly to Taiwan immediately after approval?

You do not need to travel to Taiwan right away. During the validity period of the Gold Card, you can enter Taiwan using your Gold Card status. The validity period of the Employment Gold Card starts from the day after your application is approved.

Note: After your application is approved, you can download the Resident Authorization Certificate from the Foreign Professionals Online Application Platform to enter Taiwan. You must pick up the Gold Card at the National Immigration Agency within 30 days of entry.
