For those people who are/were on a household registration certificate and have been living overseas for 2+ years, your name will be removed from their household registration certificate.
Upon re-entry into Taiwan, they can get their names back on the HRC but it’s a bit of an inconvenience.
This has specific ramifications for those who were born overseas to Taiwan citizens and who may not be on their parents HRC. Time is running out for you to get your Taiwan ID. Starting 2006, the rules are changing and you may not be able to get it. In effect, that means chances are that will not be a Taiwanese citizen if you want to be.
I called them and they said I can keep my US citizenship, and they didn’t hear anything about next year I can’t keep my US citizenship…I was born in the states and my parents are in Taiwan…and I ain’t in the huko…

When you say inconvenient, just how inconvenient are we talking about here?

Heh, it’s the Taiwanese government so who knows? Not to mention that it’s procedures in flux so you could very well be running around like crazy and not going anywhere with your paperwork. Same basic rules apply, Southern Taiwan, relaxed. Northern Taiwan, stricter. YMMV.
the inconvenienct doesn’t apply to me does it…I was never in the HRC to begin with. They just say get the one year visa first…stay for more then 180 days then I can get the TW ID…and doesn’t have to renounce my US citizenship…I guess it varies depending on your background/situation
I have dual-citizenship, I was born in Taiwan but was adopted by Americans and went to the US. I returned in 2000 and got my own household registration and a ROC passport along with a Taiwanese ID card. So, do you know if this would apply to me? My biological mother and siblings are still in Taiwan.
I was adopted by a UK family and hold a brit. passport. when i returned to taiwan i was issued with HRC, ID and ROC passport. My mother and siblings are still here. dont have any problems although my kids are living in HK and hold brit and hk passports and i believe that there would be some problems in registering them here as my kids as they were born prior to the issue of ROC documents. My marriage and divorce (and therefore kids registration) were never documented in ROC.
So do you need to enter Taiwan with a Taiwan passport to be able to apply for Taiwan ID? I am pretty sure I am on my aunt’s HRC on both sides of the family they just need to dig it up.
