臺灣婚姻移民的家庭團聚權利保障與面臨挑戰

Family Reunification Rights and Challenges for Marriage Immigrants in Taiwan

台灣的婚姻移民主要來自中國大陸及越南印尼泰國等東南亞國家。隨著跨國婚姻的增多，這個群體的權利與保護成為台灣社會中的重要議題。婚姻移民的家庭團聚權是指他們通過婚姻合法居留台灣，並與其家庭團聚的法律權利。然而，由於現行政策、法律框架及現實情況的影響，這項權利面臨各種挑戰。2023年，台灣對《入出國及移民法》進行了重大修訂，放寬了外籍配偶在台撫養未成年子女的居留規定，同時加強了對非法活動的處罰以維護社會安全。本文通過問卷調查。本文首先分析了台灣公民對婚姻移民的整體態度，隨後進行了對28名個體的深度訪談，包括來自中國大陸及其他國家的配偶。研究顯示，台灣在維護國家安全的同時，大體上保障了婚姻移民的家庭團聚權。本文增進了對亞洲地區婚姻移民公民權利的理解，並呼籲政府制定和實施更加包容且公平的移民政策。

Marriage migrants in Taiwan primarily come from Mainland China and Southeast Asian countries such as Vietnam, Indonesia, and Thailand. With the rise of cross-border marriages, the rights and protections of these migrants have become significant issues in Taiwanese society. The right to family reunification for marriage migrants refers to their legal right to reside in Taiwan and be reunited with their families through marriage. However, this right faces various challenges due to policies, legal frameworks, and real-world circumstances. In 2023, Taiwan made significant amendments to the Immigration Act by easing residency regulations for foreign spouses raising minor children in Taiwan, while also strengthening penalties for illegal activities to maintain social security. Through a survey, the paper first analyzes the overall attitudes of Taiwanese citizens toward marriage migrants, followed by in-depth interviews with 28 of these individuals, including spouses from Mainland China and other foreign countries. The research findings indicate that while Taiwan has maintained national security, it has generally safeguarded the family reunification rights of marriage migrants. This study enhances the understanding of citizenship rights for marriage migrants in Asia and calls for the government to develop and implement more inclusive and equitable immigration policies.
