The “funds for foreign spouses” was budgeted starting from 2005 in accordance with the 2900th Executive Yuan conference dated July 28, 2004. A total of 3 billion NT dollars were collected in the following 10 years as a financial support for affiliated agencies within the Ministry of the Interior. The goal is to bolster the immigration system for comprehensive care and guidance.
Recent years have seen the funds cover foreign spouses (including Chinese ones), as well as their children. In consideration of the practice and the talent development of foreign-born residents, the fund was renamed to the “Development Funds for Immigrants” after the 1st Coordination Meeting on Immigration Affairs by the Executive Yuan on August 4, 2015. The fund size stays at 1 billion NT dollars.
As part of our continuing care efforts for immigrants, the funds are administered according to their families’ needs. The purpose is to establish a social security network, and offer appropriate guidance and development/training. Funded projects include “Social Security Network for Immigrants,” “Propaganda about Family Learning, Nursery, Cultural Diversity and Related Issues,” “Family Service Centers,” and “Innovative Services, Training and Activation of the Industrial Network by Immigrants.”
