More info here in addition to the above:
In early May the Ministry of the Interior announced a “Program for Attracting Outstanding Foreigners Worldwide to Taiwan” with the aim of bringing in foreigners who can help upgrade the island’s competitiveness while enlarging the domestic consumer base and expanding tax revenues. The plan aims to entice foreigners to come to Taiwan by offering them convenient visa and immigration procedures through the use of three cards: an Employment Pass, Academic and Business Travel Card, and “Plum Blossom” Permanent Residency Card.

you should also find out about financial statements and other paperwork you might have to show. Such as where did your money come from for the past five years.
