A Spanish man was charged. He committed a fraud of up to 1 billion yuan in Italy many years ago. He later disappeared and was wanted by the local police. However, foreign media reported that he had been hiding in Taiwan and even opened five companies in Taiwan, including three restaurants, and was somewhat famous. However, since he came to Taiwan legally and had a residence permit, and there is no mutual legal assistance between Taiwan and Spain or Italy, although it was a crime committed by a foreigner, the relevant units did not have the right to arrest him.

Lawyer Li Yusheng from Fidelity Law Firm said that if you want to apply for permanent residency in Taiwan, you must submit a criminal record certificate from the applicant’s home country. However, the foreigner in question has lived in Taiwan for the past five years. According to regulations, he is not required to attach a non-criminal certificate from his home country, and he does not have any criminal record in Taiwan. Therefore, in principle, he meets the requirements for applying for permanent residence. However, the Taiwan Immigration Department still has discretion and may consider his criminal circumstances in foreign countries to determine the case.
