Cabinet approves draft bill for new immigrants' rights protection act

To comprehensively enhance the well-being and rights protections of new immigrants and provide them with friendlier living environments, the Executive Yuan on Friday approved the Ministry of the Interior's (MOI) draft bill for an act to protect the rights of new immigrants. The proposed act would establish a government body dedicated to managing these issues, as well as codify into law the promotion of various rights-related measures. The act aims to advance the rights and interests of new immigrants in the areas of employment services, culture and education, health and medical care, social welfare and participation in public life.

Premier Cho Jung-tai said the proposed legislation would signal to the world that Taiwan is open to foreign professionals with skills and capital, and welcomes them to put down long-term roots and ultimately become naturalized citizens. He instructed the MOI to proactively communicate and coordinate with all legislative caucuses once the bill is submitted to the Legislative Yuan for deliberation, in order to facilitate the bill's swift passage and respond to the expectations of society.
