About the document
What it covers Art. 16(1)(5): residence for HK/Macao residents with an investment of NT$5 million or more approved by the central authority; art. 16(1)(6): remitting NT$5 million and keeping it on deposit for a year.
Notes Earliest version the database holds (it keeps historical texts only from April 2001). Per the amendment history, art. 16 was not amended in 2000 or 2001, so this wording dates from the full revision issued 31 May 1999; the 1997 original text was not obtained.
