Michael Hsu, Partner Attorney at Tayhuan Partners Attorneys-at-Law, was recently interviewed by the media regarding the residency rights of Hong Kong, Macau, and other overseas nationals following the completion of a prison sentence in Taiwan.
Addressing the case of a Hong Kong internet celebrity who served a prison term in Taiwan, Michael Hsu provided an in-depth analysis from both the perspectives of criminal enforcement and administrative residency regulations. He explained that, as the court did not order deportation pursuant to Article 95 of the Criminal Code, the matter has concluded from the criminal law standpoint.
However, with respect to residency status, he emphasized that approval remains subject to substantive review by immigration authorities. Where a marriage is found to involve collusion or false representation, the residency permit may be revoked in accordance with Article 22 of the Regulations Governing the Entry into, Residence, and Permanent Residence of Hong Kong and Macau Residents in the Taiwan Area.
Through this clear delineation of legal boundaries, Michael Hsu demonstrated a high level of practical expertise in both criminal law and immigration law, providing authoritative clarification on the legal risks and consequences involved.
