Rules Relaxed Again for Taiwan Visits by Mainland Chinese Business People

        On Sept. 25, the Executive Yuan approved a revision of Article 6 of the Regulations Governing Entry into Taiwan for Business Activities by Persons from Mainland China, further liberalizing the numbers and conditions of business visits to Taiwan by people from mainland China who are invited by companies operating in Taiwan. The revision will be implemented following its passage by the Legislative Yuan.

Under the draft revision, the maximum number of annual invitations of mainland Chinese business personnel is increased from 30 to 50 for foreign-invested companies in Taiwan, the Taiwan branches and offices of foreign companies, and domestic companies with annual revenues of NT$30 million or more. For domestic companies with annual revenues under NT$30 million and newly-established domestic enterprises, the existing annual ceiling of 15 on invitations of mainland Chinese will be liberalized. Furthermore, the authority to establish screening principles will be switched to the Ministry of Economic Affairs in consultation with related agencies. Multinational enterprises that have set up operations headquarters or logistics centers in Taiwan will thus be able to apply for the invitation of more than 50 persons from mainland China to visit to Taiwan each year.
