I am a Hong Kong permanent resident, but can I emigrate to Taiwan with a foreign passport?

Yes, Hong Kong and Macao residents holding foreign passports in Taiwan will be considered foreigners. Foreigners must naturalize and abandon their foreign passports in order to become a citizen of Taiwan.

If you do not choose naturalization, foreigners can invest in work and residence, obtain a residence permit, live in Taiwan for a long time, and enjoy universal health insurance.

After that, you can stay in Taiwan legally for 5 consecutive years and live for more than 183 days each year, you can apply for permanent residence, and you can freely enter and leave and live in Taiwan indefinitely without any conditions.
