Winkler Partners Recognized as ‘Employer of Choice’
Winkler Partners has been recognized as an “Employer of Choice” in the Taiwan jurisdiction by Asian Legal Business (ALB) magazine (Issue 10.3). ALB conducted its employer survey between December 2009 and February 2010, and received responses from more than 1,000 legal professionals in the Asia-Pacific and Gulf regions. Firms were ranked on categories such as quality of work and clients, firm reputation, professional development and training, work/life balance, and quality of partners to work for.
Resident Visa Alert-UK TRO
Applicants for resident visas in the UK should note that unlike most other de facto Taiwanese embassies overseas, the Taipei Representative Office in the UK requires a UK criminal background check and a health certificate for resident visa applications in addition to the usual documentary requirements. This includes resident visa applications for white collar workers who are applying on the basis of a work permit. We recommend always calling ahead to your local Taiwanese embassy to check on special requirements they may have.
Taiwan Business Topics, a publication of the American Chamber of Commerce, recently reported that that Chung Hwa Travel Service, Taiwan’s consular office in Hong Kong, has been requiring all visa applicants to supply proof of residence in their home country in the form of a driver’s license, recent utility bill, or bank statement since 2005.
