Hong Kongers hoping to settle down in Taiwan are facing uncertainty over their residency applications. Many have instead decided to leave for other places such as the United Kingdom and Canada, where there are clearer immigration criteria, or return to Hong Kong. However, some in the Hong Kong community in Taiwan are watching the upcoming presidential contest with interest, hoping for an immigration policy change after the election that could help their cause. CNA’s Deborah Wong reports.

Take your wok and turner to Singapore and wok the talk. Singapore is shortage of wok talents in the F&B.
Fun fact :
H1t1er was elected through democracy.
A chinese free Taiwan is a better taiwan
今日的🇭🇰 ，明日的🇹🇼!
Migrate to Taiwan now is like joining KMT in 1949 😅
Taiwan so many politics violents so unstable , on hindsight PAP the best 🎉
The Taiwanese economy is under depression.
Hong Kong migrants ain't gonna find no jobs
"The NED was honored, therefore, when it presented its Democracy Service Medal to Taiwan’s First Lady, Chen-Wu, Sue-jen, in a ceremony in the U.S. Congress during her visit to Washington in September 2002."
Ex NED President Carl Gershman.
United snakes has been interfering in the internal affair of a sovereign country all this time.
Hong Kong is better place under the National Security Law. All Western backed traitors should leave.
The title and narratives here is quite idiotic. Any one seeking residency on Taiwan, for the matter anywhere, must satisfy the criteria of residency rather than the outcome of Taiwan's presidentail race. However, the outcome of the presidential race may affect the applicants desire to continue seeking residency on the island.
KMT confirm win.
My Prophecy
Taiwan🇹🇼 have maritime disputes with China.
make maritime agreement & keep peace!
If KMT wins, outcome will definitely sour as migration department would scrutinize people migrating due to political reasons, since KMT's whole political schtick is selling the island to China. If DPP wins, nothing will change as migration has always been based on merit of the person and not their situation. They don't want to let people who don't contribute to anything in, this is the same for most countries except maybe 2/3 of the countries in Europe. Look at European country's failed open borders policy fiasco, no country wants to follow in their footsteps.
Most of those actually need "protection" are rejected. SG CNA AUS TW only accept those are rich and high skill.
SG CNA AUS TW reject:
Those actually protest and define as riot with "Criminal record“ in HK.
Those actually protest but are poor and without high skill.
Hongkong and Taiwan worst enemy is the CCP.
I think after 8 years of Tsai Ing Wen, everybody angry finish, Ko Wen Je that kind of stance "maintaining the status quo" while repairing relations with China is probably what they want. Not so sure whether DPP will win, KMT I think can close shop.
I think Taiwan for now is still a better bet for Hongkongers than the UK. In UK, other than being a possible target for racism (esp since Covid), they will be more likely to be seen as 2nd class citizen there. And if they are not conversant in English, life will be even more difficult, not to say it will if you are because there are HK immigrants there who struggle to find a decent job, if any at all.
Definition of democracy.
Even you are a traitor; you can run for the presidency.
Some of the information that is appearing in the media is very biased in Taiwan because it only gets its news from the government.
I love Taiwan, beautiful minan dialect. My worry, soon it will be replaced by Hong-Kongers' official language and dialect, Cantonese.
Just to go to UK, US or Canada don't waste time.
挺搞笑的，建议赶快润欧美，我们马上就要收复台湾
Well guys, The United Nations General Assembly Resolution 2758 has acknowledged that Taiwan is part of Mainland China's sovereignty territory since 1971.
Any arguments will seems unwise by not acknowledging the true fact from the Chinese history.
As the Chinese Civil War had not been officially declared over, let's make a final showdown and let the final result decide who's the boss.
Rule of the game: Winner takes it all ✌️
Hmm Hongkongers always emphasise the importance of observing local customs and speaking local languages, why are they speaking Cantonese in Taiwan?
