Considering the relatively special way in which those in the arts field undertake work, mostly accepting jobs individually rather than being hired by a single employer, and with a view to enhancing Taiwan’s environment for employment in the field of culture and the arts, so as to make Taiwan a more attractive place for artistic workers to come and ply their talents, Article 10 of the Foreign Professionals Act stipulates that “A foreign professional who works as an artist may, without applying through an employer, apply direct to the Ministry of Labor for a permit to engage in artistic work in the State.”
