Taiwan plans to offer citizenship to students and skilled workers from Southeast Asian nations to fight brain drain and the declining working-age population. Foreign students who graduate and work in Taiwan for five to seven years will be eligible to apply too, the commission said. The new law also will apply to skilled foreign workers who have worked in Taiwan for seven years. Although Asean nations are a priority market, the laws also are open to professionals and students from countries outside the association. Cheng noted that the average salary for foreign workers -- who are the most in-demand group in various industries in Taiwan -- amounts to slightly more than NT$30,000 (31,000 baht).
