What to review first on this page

  • Entity choice, investment approval, capital remittance, registration, and permits should be reviewed as one process.
  • The guide explains subsidiary, branch, and representative-office choices from the perspective of Korean clients entering Taiwan.
  • Post-incorporation issues such as visas, trademarks, contracts, and labor risk can be planned from the start.

Good fit for consultation when

  • Businesses deciding which Taiwan entity structure fits the Korean parent
  • Teams comparing branch versus subsidiary setup
  • Companies entering regulated sectors such as cosmetics or logistics
  • Clients who want setup, visas, trademarks, and employment issues reviewed together

Priority review points

  • Investment approval and capital-remittance steps are often the most timing-sensitive.
  • Business address, industry code, and actual operating model need to match.
  • Regulated sectors require more than incorporation alone.
  • Contracts, labor structure, and trademarks should be considered at the setup stage.
PROCESS

Workflow and Preparation

Consultation flow

  • Compare subsidiary, branch, and representative-office structures based on the commercial goal and revenue flow.
  • Confirm investment review needs, capital amount, shareholder structure, and business address before filing.
  • Map the sequence after registration as well, including banking, tax, visas, trademarks, and employment documents.

Materials to prepare

  • Korean parent-company registry documents, shareholder structure, and director details
  • Planned business scope, operating model, and candidate Taiwan address
  • Expected capital amount, remittance plan, and hiring plan in Taiwan
  • Any permit, product, or sector-specific regulatory information already identified

Points that are often missed

  • If the industry code does not match the real business model, permit work may stall later.
  • Bank account opening often takes longer than clients expect, even after registration is done.
  • Cosmetics, logistics, food, platform, and similar sectors may require additional approvals.
  • If visas and labor structuring are treated as an afterthought, the launch timeline usually slips.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

A common planning assumption is around three months, but the timeline depends on investment review, capital timing, and sector-specific permits.

That depends on liability structure, tax considerations, and expansion plans. Subsidiaries are common for independent local operations, while branches can fit direct parent-company control.

Usually not. Banking, tax, visas, trademarks, labor arrangements, and industry permits often follow immediately after registration.
