Roots in Taiwan According to figures from the National Police Administration, since the possibility of permanent residency in Taiwan was introduced two years ago, over 500 people have acquired permanent residency rights. The largest numbers are Japanese, Malaysians and Americans, who together account for almost half. The NPA also estimates that around 937 people newly qualify for permanent residency under the amended Immigration Law.
