The only time he even uses the word ‘allegedly’ is in regards to the locals. He’s not a saint, he’s just doing what he needs to do to get clicks. He cares not of us.
What are you trying to say? What is the problem with Audrey being considered a top10 in a country where the GDP per capita is 25,873 USD vs India’s 2,099.60 USD (with so much talent…).
First Bank is actually quite foreigner-unfriendly as well. They have consistently suggested they want an 80% down payment and are also unfriendly towards small businesses if your business requires you to be on the road helping clients.
The only time I go there is to pay my AMEX card, but I don’t have any accounts there. They always try to stop me from pressing the touch screen where your number comes out. I always ignore them and press by myself, if you are not the teller, you have no business knowing wtf I want to do.
The worst is when I want the customer service desk, and the guard insists that I need to see the teller when I know they can’t help me. I wait for the teller to be told , oh you need customer service, get a number
If you have a work permit (APRC holders/students with internships or part-time jobs) you NEED to apply to the Work Development Agency for a new one. You need this form and a photocopy of it, a one inch photo, a copy of both sides of your OLD and NEW ARC/APRC and a copy of your passport.
I picked up my new ARC today. As the old number was known to only 4 (2 Banks for Credit Cards (secondary cardholder), NHI, and NIA, I will let it go and see what gives when I next use one. I did renew the E-Gate while there, so NIA has the new one and my passport linked (well, I damn well hope so, though it might be a while before it gets tested).
Taipei NIA Office - No. 15, Guangzhou Street, Zhongzheng District, Taipei City - across the road from the Little South Gate - Nearest MRT Station is Xiaonanmen. They have an E-Gate registration counter beside the one where you collect the new ARC - just make sure you bring your passport.
