Famous Company could help me reach my goal. Having the Famous Company name on my résumé would increase my chances of getting job offers in future, whichever country that would be in. If they really wanted, Famous Company has a lot of money. They could buy citizenship for me and my girlfriend at a cost of $250,000 USD each. Then I'd be able to work for them anywhere. These parameters are personal though, not job-interview criteria. It's about relationships, friendships, trust, and life goals. "Networking", in the social sense. But if Famous Company doesn't want me to tell my boss, I feel like they don't respect that social network. I'm committed to being a good boyfriend, employee, and foreign resident. I'd like to make friends with the person from the Famous Company, and build a connection with them too! Maybe stay longer in Taiwan to work for the Famous Company in 2019, or apply for their jobs in another country. I just don't want those communications to disrespect my existing commitments.

It sounds like you know the life codes pretty good, Maybe the girl will move with you to work at Famous Corp in 2019? It might take a ring to persuade her. I lived in Taiwan 3 years as a teenager, I loved the country, so I know a little about living there. At 27 there is still plenty of time to get everything ready for what will be your future. So as long as there is a plan it will work out for you. I think that maybe Famous Corp doesn't want you to tell the Boss because it is actually their way of saving face for "poaching" you or they don't wish to get entangled with your present employer. It is actually pretty standard procedure, whats different is that you are actual friends with your boss. The main problem seems to be ,should I tell my boss now... because he is your friend the only answer is yes. anything less will likely haunt you for years. Famous Company does not need to know who you told about their offer, so do not tell them. Tell the boss now, then go get the offer, with a solid offer in hand ask the girl what "we" should do, then ask boss what he thinks. I'm sure that whatever advice they give will be better than anything else you will find.
