Emigrants to other areas usually do so under the name of being reunited with relatives or accepting employment, but those to Australia and New Zealand are almost completely business migrants, owners of small or medium-sized enterprises, and their reasons for immigration include seeking a better living environment, considerations of their children's education, greater advantages for career development, concerns about the Chinese Communist threat to Taiwan and so forth.
特別的是，到其他地區的移民往往多為依親、應聘等名義，但到澳、紐的則幾乎清一色屬於投資移民，且背景多為中小企業主，移民原因則包括追求較好的生活環境、考慮子女的教育問題、較有利於事業發展、擔心中共對台灣的威脅等。
