You should check the Taiwan Gold Card1[1] visa that gives you a resident permit for 3 years. It is quite easy to get, just earn more than usd5.5k/month at your last/current job, or work in a "trendy" field (AI/big data/energy/biotech...). Happy to reply to any questions

+1 this! I'm sitting in a cafe, working remotely from Taipei right now. Feel free to message me if you have any questions.

There's a large group of hackernews reader types of people here right now who all socialize here since Covid is non-existent.
