If I apply for the Employment Gold Card from within Taiwan but need to leave during the application process, will it affect my application?

If you are outside Taiwan when the National Immigration Agency (NIA) begins its preliminary review, your application will be returned (as it does not match your application status) and you will need to resubmit it upon your next entry into Taiwan.

If you leave Taiwan after the NIA’s preliminary review is complete, when your Gold Card application is approved, you can print out your Resident Authorization for Overseas Applicants (found under the download section of the application portal) and present it upon entering Taiwan.

To check the review stage, please go to the " Foreign Professionals Online Application Platform ," select the “Case Status Check” section, and enter your application number for updates.
