I am a Filipino born in the Philippines and my father already is a Taiwan citizen back year 1990, and i only got my Taiwan passport this 2015 using the residence id of my father. I applied my Taiwan passport in TECO Philippines. I am now a dual citizen. I am here now in Taiwan for almost less than 2 years using my Taiwan passport and wondering if i can apply or get a residence id just like my father. My father passed away last 2002.Is there any possibility that i can get a residence id. what is the easiest way to become a citizen .do i need to give up my other citizen just to get a residence id? Please help me with an answerâŠ

Im a filipino born in the philippines and my father is a taiwan citizenâŠim already 21 yrs old and I only have philippine passportâŠ
can i apply for a citizenship without joining the military?
and what is the easiest way to become a citizen? do i need to invest money in taiwan?
I donât really understand your question. If you have âdual citizenshipâ, then you are already a citizen. Thereâs nothing else you need to do, except possibly register with the household registration office. If youâre not a citizen, but your father is, then there a simple procedure to follow.
Your best bet is to simply go to the immigration office and ask them. This isnât the Philippines: government officials are (usually) keen to be helpful, and there are no stacks of pointless paperwork and bribes to deal with.
However, if you are of age, then you will need to do your military service. Again, this is nothing to worry about. Iâm told itâs somewhat boring, but itâs over in 14 months. No big deal.
what i mean is that i have both Filipino and Taiwan passport. Is it counted as dual citizen having both passport. I donât have residence id yet. Can i get one. How can i register in the household registration office, i donât have the copy of my fatherâs household and he passed away already .
Itâs hard to tell from your description exactly what your situation is, but if you have two passports, the implication is that you are a Taiwanese citizen who has somehow acquired a Philippines passport. As far as I know the converse scenario isnât possible.
Does your passport have an ID card number on it? How are you staying in the country without a ID?
Anyway, assuming youâre here legally, just go to the household registry office and ask them. Theyâll have a printed list of requirements and you just come back when youâve got the requisite documents. If you donât have something, just tell them and theyâll explain the workaround.
Really, this isnât the Philippines. The procedures make sense, they are usually quite straightforward, and the officials wonât make up random requirements that arenât on the list.
You will probably have to give up your Filipino citizenship at some point.
Donât think he has to give up his Phil citizenship because his FATHER is Taiwanese. If it was his MOM who was Taiwanese there are restrictions. NONE if his Father is Taiwanese.
Situation may be a little different if his Father was a naturalized Taiwanese though.
Not sure how that works out.
Taiwanâs human rights still is somewhat Soviet.
(ie Assbackwards)
DAD and MOM who are Taiwanese should be EQUAL under the law, like the USA. And there should be NO restrictions on when or where the kids were born.
A child born of ONE Taiwanese parent, be it the Dad or the Mom should be able to get Taiwanese citizenship regardless of where or when they were born. PERIOD>
Sounds to me like the situation is that you are a Taiwanese National Without Household Registration (NWHOR), meaning that you are a national of the Republic of China, an Overseas Chinese, and thus eligible for a ROC (Republic of China ie Taiwan) passport. But you are not a citizen. Being a citizen implies working rights and right of abode.
Itâs easy to determine what you are. Look in your passport. Does it have an ID number in it that is similar to your fatherâs ID cardâs number? If so, you are already eligible for an ID card and can simply apply for one like everybody else. I doubt this is the case though because if it was you would have already been called up to serve in the military.
If you donât have an ID number in your ROC passport (note that this is a different number to the Passport No.), that means you are a NWHOR.
Have you been in Taiwan continuously for these past two years? Or for at least 270 days a year in the two years that youâve been here? You should be able to obtain household registration. You wonât need to give up your Filipino citizenship as that is something people have to do to naturalize as Taiwanese nationals. You are a national by birth by virtue of having a Taiwanese father.
How are you staying on here? Are you here on your ROC passport? Do you have a residence permit and if so what type? Or did you enter on your Philippines passport? If you are in Taiwan on your Philippines passport unfortunately your period of residence does not count towards the requirement to get a Taiwanese ID card, you will need to come back on your ROC passport.
Have a read of this very useful wikipedia article:
And go to your nearest household registration office to get a full list of the requirements and procedures.
You will need to serve in the military if you obtain household registration, there is no way around that other than waiting until you are older than the maximum drafting age (36 on 31 of December). Sounds like you donât want to wait that long so do your time in the military, itâs worth it.
This is how it is for old people like you and me, Tommy. They changed the law in 2000 (and grandfathered in kids who were born in 1980 or younger because in the year 2000 they were still considered dependents). Now, they will recognize the fatherâs or the motherâs nationality for mixed-blood kids.
Being born in 1976, Iâm in the same boat as you. Missed the cut by 4 years. Was born here, Taiwanese mother (with dual USA/TW citizenship), and Iâm a foreigner on an APRC.
iâm a natural born Filipino, i only got my Taiwan passport last may 12,2015 in TECO, Philippines, using my fatherâs Taiwan Passport and hisèș«ćè, then TECO granted me a taiwan passport, i came to taiwan last may 28, 2015 and stayed for 190days i think and this year for about 187days till end of December, my passport doesnât have id card no on it , my father was a born Filipino too, when he came here in Taiwan 1991 with his Filipino passport , and that year he applied for residence id with the help of my cousin who has a residence id because she married a taiwanese and that same year my father has been granted a èș«ćè, now that my father is gone (passed away) iâm wondering if i too can get a èș«ćè even without my fatherâs presence.
To be honest, Iâve never heard of such a scenario. What you describe doesnât sound legally possible.
However, if you do have a passport, youâre presumably here legitimately, so Iâd guess 11173âs answer applies (as he said, youâre a ânationalâ but not a âcitizenâ - my mistake). You just need to go to the HRO and fill in the paperwork.
Thatâs a convenient distinction to make in English, but is there any distinction in Chinese that parallels the English ânationalâ and âcitizenâ (which may be interchangeable depending on the country being discussed)?
If there isnât, then it seems you should say âROC national without household registrationâ and âROC national with household registrationâ whenever you need to make it clear to anyone.
It may make sense, but is it in the law or used by people in the government?
Off the top of my head, whenever this comes up in law itâs a long phrase meaning âROC national with/without household registrationâ, but if thereâs a short form like ćæ°/ć Źæ° thatâs actually in the law or in common use by the government, thatâs great.
Did you ever find the solution to your problem? I think I understand your situation and what it sounds like you need is to apply for a TARC first (with your dadâs ID card), and then after you get this, you can apply for your own ID card (but you must stay in Taiwan for a full year AFTER you get the TARC).
The NIA should be able to tell you all the documents you need, and there will be A LOT, but it should be possible if you have your dadâs ID card, even if he passed away.
After getting your taiwanese passport in the philippines. Did you enter taiwan using your taiwanese passport?
If your father passed away already⊠Your father cannot petition you to get the taiwan idâŠ
