combined their resources to investigate illegal activities, collaborating in the investigation of missing
foreign workers in order to reduce the number of missing foreign workers in Taiwan and deter illegal
employment, agencies, and human trafficking. Illegal employers and agencies have been listed as
targets for investigation to prevent missing foreign workers from finding illegal employment, resulting
in 21,846 undocumented migrant worker in 2017.

spouses in Taiwan before their Mainland Chinese spouse enters Taiwan (in the name of family reunion).
In addition, the NIA also has stricter border interviews and face-to-face interviews to prevent fake
marriages, illegal activities and workers working illegally. Besides, the NIA conducts the law of interviews
