New legislation- TARC still needed for NWOHR?

the link and instructions may be changed when the amendment will become effective, though

APPLYING FOR A TAIWAN (NWOHR) PASSPORT

Instructions are available in Chinese

in english


  • you were born in Taiwan between February 10th 1989 and February 9th 1999 and your mother had Household Registration (even if your father was not Taiwanese)

at this moment:
between February 10th 1980 and February 9th 2000
not even if. just if

this part is expanded to all nationals who were born in taiwan with at least one parent with hhr, so maybe no need to describe specifically.

instead, people born with taiwanese parents but cannot get roc citizenship could be excluded at the beginning.

If your parents are Taiwanese nationals it is very likely you are too, automatically.

note: if your father is a foreigner, your birth date should be february 10, 1980 or later.
