Hi, Resident visas for Taiwan are issued to foreigners who have valid work permits. Does "valid" in the above mean "legal" or something else? It's hard to say but, generally speaking, I'd make this distinction.

It's 2008. I have a work permit that expired in 2007.

I'd say that my work permit is a legal one, but that it is invalid.
