The National Immigration Agency has been charged with monitoring Taiwan's entrance and departure security checks, carrying out immigration laws, encouraging multiculturalism, and looking into immigration-related offenses, according to the NIA's director(鐘景琨). It is also vital to speak in languages that are widely understood when doing out duties. The work is demanding and busy. Numerous students in this issue are fluent in a variety of languages, including Japanese, Korean, Russian, or Portuguese. There are other backgrounds like "foreign business elite," "flight attendant," and "second-generation immigrants" among them. Being in the immigration officer rank will undoubtedly allow one to play to your strengths and safely protect the nation's gate.
