🇹🇼Taiwan
Taiwan is one of Asia's best-value bases for remote workers: safe, friendly, with cheap excellent food, fast internet, and a culture famously welcoming to foreigners. The Employment Gold Card gives qualified professionals an unusually flexible long-term option. English is limited but workable, summers are brutally humid, and typhoons interrupt the warm season, but the night markets, hiking, and low costs win people over fast.

The Employment Gold Card
Taiwan's Employment Gold Card combines a work permit, residence visa, and open-ended work authorization in one card valid one to three years, renewable. It targets qualified professionals across tech, finance, and other fields, lets you work for anyone or freelance, and offers income-tax breaks for high earners. There is no dedicated tourist-style nomad visa.
