hello,
I am currently residing in my home country, but still holding a valid PARC. I am aware of the PARC regulations.
Despite the covid-19 and quarantine situation , I do wonder whether I can enter Taiwan “only” as a tourist for a few weeks without reactivating NHI etc. Of course not extending the stay beyond 90 days.
Is this even possible or would my defacto PARC status automatically reactivated with re-entry ?
Thanx for clarifying answers … bye Moti
Maybe an obvious question. Have you contacted the Taiwan embassy in your area?
You either have permanent residency status or you don’t, entering Taiwan should not affect that.
Look at the back of your card.
It says: “The holder of this certificate does NOT need to apply for a reentry permit to reenter the ROC”. However “This certificate shall be revoked if its holder has failed to reside in the Taiwan area for at least 183 days per calendar year following the issue of this certificate.”
(Exemptions can be made, but you need to make arrangements before leaving Taiwan.)
So, it all depends upon when you left and when you plan to return. (Can you still make up 183 days before the end of the year?) This will determine whether or not your APRC is indeed still “valid”.
If you wish to come to Taiwan as a tourist, then the APRC situation is irrelevant. Visa requirements would depend on your nationality and the covid restrictions would obviously still apply.
As I understand it.
