Minimum capital will depend on your working capital based on local CPA’s assessment. In order to avoid trouble if working capital is enough, we always suggest NT$ 300,000 (about US$10,000) which is the current regulation on minimum capital.

Q: Who can be the shareholders and BOD of a Taiwan WFOE?
Shareholders can be 100% owned by foreigner, either individual or company. It is better not have PRC shareholders because it needs to follow up different regulations. Directors can be foreigners or let non-shareholders as a director. Taiwan welcomes foreigners to come here to develop their businesses. Specific regulations apply on a case-to-case basis.
