Does divorce affect an immigrant's ability to remain/naturalize?

@bismarck

Yet some of them are still being denied citizenship after they’ve renounced and consequently gotten divorced.

I wonder, could that be because they got divorced after renouncing, but before they applied for citizenship (TARC and one year waiting period for ID card)?
It would seem to me that if they’d already applied for their TARC and were doing their one year waiting period for their ID Cards then it wouldn’t be an issue, because then they would already have ROC nationality and an ROC passport.

may i ask if this is still the same until this year 2019

this year 2019, there are ways that foreign spouses under some conditions stay taiwan after they get divorced.

Iirc, ongoing naturalization may not be denied due to a divorce. This needs to be confirmed.

thank you. due to his domestic violence so i have ask about this… i want to know more…

Check if you can obtain an APRC.
If the purpose is to remain in the island, this is a easier path.

Some info is in the linked threads.

Iirc, NIA webpage has some info. I’ll look for it later.

Spouses got divorced due to domestic violence can stay taiwan. I’d consult with Immigrants center or women center. they may help you.

Visa run after divorce?

Hi everyone My wife and I plan to get divorced this year. Fortunately it is a consensual divorce so apparently it will not be too complicated (…) but I will lose my ARC for marriage. My question is: right after the divorce, can I return to Taiwan with a visa run? I can’t find any information about it. Thanks in advance!

Confused about working rights during 1 year waiting period after naturalization approval and a divorce later on, Please Help!

Hello everyone, I have a spouse based ARC and I’m going to apply for naturalization soon. I’m bit worried about my situation because we are going to have a divorce as soon as we hear from the household department about my naturalization application (approval and rejection). So here are the things that I am confused with. Is it safe to get divorce right after my application is approved? Will my ARC (1 year to expire) be cancelled if we divorce? If it is cancelled, will I still have working …

Taiwan eases rules on naturalization of foreign spouses
Date: 2016-12-12

The amended law also stipulates that foreign spouses who get a divorce after suffering from domestic violence and never get married again or those whose Taiwanese spouses have passed away but who still live with and take care of other family members, can stay in Taiwan and remain eligible for naturalization.In addition, the amendment will no longer require naturalization applicants to first renounce their citizenship in their home country. Instead, they can provide proof that they have abandoned their original nationality within a year after they become naturalized in Taiwan.

Whoever resurrected this old thread, and tagged this new discussion onto it, obviously didn’t understand that these are completely different subjects. Also, the law on dual citizenship changed two years ago. Let the past die.

What’s the law change ? Or which thread is that in? Thanks.

The original thread was about how some people renounce their original citizenships, then fail to get ROC citizenship, leaving them stateless. As of 2 years ago, the process is now to renounce afterwards, not before. So that particular problem is solved.

The later comments ask about visa status (ability to remain in Taiwan) after a divorce.

Thanks very much for the reply. Therefore, it would now be impossible to be stateless. Or if you are lucky your original country refuses your renunciation and you end up with two passports ?

With the population rapidly aging, you would think they would allow young foreigners that would likely have kids get citizenship easily.
