id advise to get some 7th grade materials and see if your son can manage. the level can be quite difficult to those coming from abroad.
i believe you will need an arc and an address to register them for school, so probably you should find a place first, and then do thw school part.
i live in tianmu, and know several foreign kids that go to:
shidong elementary school (public)
lanya elementary school (public )
kuei shan (private bilingual )
i heard mostly good things about these schools.
Fucking idiots. They’re blaming the kid?
that is a sad story… i believe you still.moght be eligible for a tw passport. as long as you have proof and documents he is your father you might not need your siblings to be involved. best is to consult a lawyer.
they are probably afraid she is after their cut of the inheritance .
plus, they dont really have anything in common, why should they stay in touch?
my uncle was married and divorced 3 times. has kids from these 3 marriages, none of the kids stay in touch with the dad, nor with each other. some people are just like that.
They don’t need to stay in touch, they don’t need to do anything.
Imagine if @AdventureGirl was a single child. Citizenship should still be possible.
It should be possible. As @RickRoll mentioned, if you were a single child, would this make any difference? I don’t think so.
I would take a look into it. Having dual citizenship can not only make it easier in Taiwan, but offer more doors for your children too.
Thank you
Reading/writing also somewhat proficient or preferrably better than that`? If not it could turn into a nightmare year for them (and you) with insurmountable amounts of homework.
Maybe have a plan B for schooling if it does not work.
Poor people don’t have 10 kids in Taiwan. Get a lawyer and get your part of inheritance. In the end was your father as well.
Oh, they have a ton of money for sure. House on a hill, swimming pool, lots of businesses. I really don’t care. Citizenship would be nice. I don’t feel my children are safe in Merikkka, so im trying to find a way out, even if just temporary
Sorry to hear about the family but your dad being Taiwanese makes you eligible for Taiwan citizenship and your children too . Need to contact a lawyer
I don’t think I can afford a lawyer 
if any one wants to help me probono that would be amazing
Have you talked to your closest TECRO office? Not sure why everyone is jumping to a lawyer - contact them and see what they say you need.
this info may help
how to get a passport
The great thing about Forumosa.
A person can come here for schooling information and may leave (hopefully) with citizenship.
That’s right. While a lawyer makes it easier, it’s expensive, it’s best to call the government first.
I second what somebody wrote before me. This may be a super great experience for your kids or a nightmare year. Honestly, I kind of doubt whether your kids’ Chinese is good enough to get by easily at regular public school. If you had money you could put them in a private school or a school for foreign kids, but that defeats the purpose of them learning Mandarin.
I hope your kids are on board with this idea. That is the first step.
And your 12-year-old is right between elementary school and junior high school, which does not make things easier. He might need to change schools while he was here?
Thanks. They are very excited. They have visited before too. My son will be 12 and in 7th grade at the start of the 2023-24 school year, but then turns 13 in December. Are you saying he has to leave schools once he is 13?
No. He doesn’t mean that. The school started in the fall is the one that is ended in late-spring, barring a natural disaster like big earthquake.
What is 7th grade? Is that 六年級 here ? Or is that 國中一年級 ?
Since kids move from elementary school to junior high around 12/13years, just hoping it does not coincide. Of course, like KHHville said, they always finish whatever class they start in before they go on to the next one.
