How does the application work at a high level, what rights does the family member receive, how long does the status last, and how can it become independent or longer-term where officially stated?

The dependant applies at the NIA service station for the place of residence; the fee is NTD 10,000 and an Alien Permanent Resident Certificate is issued on approval. Permanent residents may make multiple re-entries with the certificate and a valid passport. If the principal's permanent residency is revoked or invalidated under the Act for the Recruitment and Employment of Foreign Professionals or Article 33 subparagraphs 1-3 or 8 of the Act, the accompanying applicants' permanent residency is revoked or invalidated at the same time. No route to independent status or citizenship is stated.
