Taiwan’s Council of Labour Affairs confirmed Monday that Taiwan singer-actress Makiyo’s work permit had been voided on February 16, after she was found to have been involved in a cabby assault case, reported Taiwan media.
Under Taiwan law, foreign workers in Taiwan like Makiyo, who hails from Japan, will have their work permits voided if they commit any serious violation of local laws.
As a result of having her work permit voided, Makiyo must leave Taiwan after her cabby assault case concludes, and will not be able to apply for another Taiwan work permit within the next three years.
Still, she may not be able to leave even if she wants to.
Taiwan prosecutors have earlier charged Makiyo with causing grievous hurt to a cabby during an altercation last month, and are seeking a four-year jail term for the star.
They are also asking for a six-year jail sentence for Makiyo’s male Japanese friend Takateru Tomoyori, who, like Makiyo, has been charged with causing grievous hurt to the cabby during the altercation.

According to China Times:中視新聞》藝人Makiyo與友寄隆輝涉嫌毆傷計程車司機案，經檢方偵辦後將2人依重傷害未遂罪嫌起訴，並分別求刑6年和4年；勞委會職訓局外勞管理組5日表示，Maki­yo因違反我國法令，情節重大，已於2月16日發文廢止其在台工作證，且3年內不能在台工作。
