Moving to Taiwan is not easy but it can be if you use our advisories

Let’s be honest! Taiwan is a hospitable haven for Gold Card holders who are excited to explore both lifestyle and opportunities. However, the roughly 7,000 Gold Card holders represent a small fraction of the approximate 1 million foreigners, who account for 4.1% of Taiwan's population. In truth, few companies or even government agencies are aware of it. For instance, at the airport, numerous officers are unaware that the Gold Card allows access to the same fast lane designated for Taiwanese travelers.


Beyond its vibrant cities, areas full of nature like Taitung and Hualien present new possibilities in tourism, green energy, and creative industries. Many professionals have discovered that Taiwan masterfully blends innovation with a tranquil way of life. Hosana offers advisory support to assist Gold Card members in navigating local regulations, understanding business culture, and exploring investment opportunities. With the right guidance, newcomers can transform their ideas into impactful projects that resonate with Taiwan’s evolving industries. Now is the perfect time to explore, connect, and pave the way for a fulfilling future in this dynamic and hospitable nation.


However, there are real challenges to navigate, such as securing basic banking services, ensuring safety, transportation, finding housing, accessing mobile communications, and pursuing employment or starting a business. These hurdles can be significant, as many are unaware of what a Gold Card is in Taiwan, and institutions such as banks, mobile companies and companies often still require traditional documentation like employment contracts and proof of residency and these are real difficulties for newcomers who just arrive without a place to stay or family connections to rely on.  Key benefit of being a Gold Card holder is that they are not required to have employment in order to reside in Taiwan, allowing them the freedom to seek job opportunities with various companies or to initiate their own business ventures.


Sometimes, you will be caught off guard when wanting to join a gym in Taiwan because they require you to present a local Taiwanese ID card to register for their services. This requirement can be a bit of a shock for newcomers, as they do not accept the Gold Card as a valid form of identification, which can be frustrating for those who just want to do some simple exercise.


Although the journey may not be easy, hosana can work together to make it more comfortable for you.
