According to the report, foreigners employed by local companies whose personal yearly income exceeds NT$3 million or whose monthly income is over NT$250,000 can now apply for non-Taiwanese housekeepers.
"The relaxation is to encourage foreign professionals to contribute to the local economy and in response to requests from foreign business associations."
Previous regulations stipulated that foreigners with such income could only submit applications if they worked for foreign companies in Taiwan.
Expatriot executives whose foreign-based companies have investments of over NT$200 million in Taiwan or yearly business turnover exceeding NT$500 million can now hire foreign domestic help. In addition, general managers of foreign companies whose local investments exceed NT$100 million or whose yearly business turnover is over NT$1 billion, are also eligible.
