Bringing a Mainland Chinese Wife to Taiwan

[Hartzell]

@Lord_Lucan

Yes, as you may remember, in my case it was a combination of guanxi in Taiwan and full involvement of the British government reps in Taiwan, who to their credit took the thing rather more seriously than I would have expected. it took two years for the resident permit …

It’s a long and complicated process and legal advice is necessary.

Does this mean that Lord Lucan is now back in Taiwan? I thought Lord Lucan had settled down in the foreign enclave in Shanghai …

Nope, he’s busy scaring the locals out of the foreign enclaves of Shanghai. He takes this “no dogs or Chinese” rather seriously along the Bund, Still, one senses it is a losing struggle.

The rules for Mainland Chinese citizens is different for other foreigners. Many men here have PRC brides that cannot get visa’s to come to Taiwan as there is an anuual limit.

Spying has nothing to do with it.

Just imagine - a Taiwanese businessman at home with his wife and kids, and all of the sudden his second and third mainland wives show up, standing in front of the door - what a fun time!!!

Now might not be the best time

Chinese spouses being kicked out for expressing their pro-unification views?

https://taiwannews.com.tw/news/6058836 Isn’t this a free speech issue? I thought one of the differences from being outside the Great Firewall was that we can espouse opinions that may be objectionable to others, and they can choose not to listen to us

If your spouse is a social media maven who enjoys posting inflammatory materials online calling for the military annexation of Taiwan, then yes I would agree with @TT about the timing.

If your spouse is not a raving nationalist seeking likes and views, then I don’t see any particular problems here, especially if her spoken speech is closer to southern varieties of Mandarin.
