What is the primary motivation behind Taiwan's launch of a digital nomad visa, and what are its immediate implications for the country's economy and workforce?

Taiwan launched a digital nomad visa to alleviate its workforce crisis and attract skilled, high-earning foreign professionals. The six-month visa, potentially extendable, aims to attract 400,000 remote workers by 2032, with 10,000 eligible for an 'Employment Gold Card' after a year. This initiative is part of broader plans to ease permanent residency for skilled foreign workers.
