Short answer: Taiwan investment immigration has distinct routes for Hong Kong/Macao residents and foreign nationals (including Gold Card-related arrangements). Both require a qualifying investment amount and substance. Outcome is residence, then longer-term status by time rules—not donation-for-passport.
Information current as of October 2026.
