No, you cannot covert your Taiwan Visit Visa into a resident or work visa while in Taiwan. A Taiwan Visit Visa does not allow conversion to a resident or work visa while in Taiwan. This visa is intended for short visits, such as tourism, meetings, family visits, or medical needs. If you plan to stay longer for work, study, or residence, you need to leave Taiwan and apply for the correct visa type at a Taiwanese embassy or consulate. The Taipei Economic and Cultural Office (TECO) in Canada, for example, can process these applications. It is important to apply for the correct visa for your intended travel purpose.
