Q: After an intermediate skilled worker signs a labor contract does it need to be verified by the representative office of the county of origin in Taiwan?

Answer:

In accordance with the provisions of Article 45 of the Regulations on the Permission and Administration of the Employment of Foreign Workers, visa applications for an intermediate skilled foreign worker must include an affidavit on costs incurred by the foreign worker coming to work in Taiwan and salary, verified by a government agency in the country of origin. Whether employers are asked to submit labor contract verification depends on the different verification processes for the affidavit on costs incurred by the foreign worker coming to work in Taiwan and salary adopted by different countries.
