Besides, the Service Center also promotes the NIA’s “Online Application System for Hiring Migrant Workers.” Private employment service agencies (human resources recruitment agencies) can apply for migrant workers’ residences (including re-entry permits) online. Besides, submitting documents at NIA’s counters is also an option for employers and migrant workers who are unfamiliar with the use of computers or without Internet access.

The director of NIA (Kaohsiung City First Service Center), Xu Zhi Quan (徐志權), mentioned that NIA organizes family education campaigns for immigrants every month and provides useful information. Hence, immigrants can make better adjustments while residing in Taiwan.
