NWOHR applying for citizenship

Legal Dual Nationality
1

Hi good day! Can someone help me about my situation. I currently hold a Taiwan passport(but no Taiwan ID or household registration). I obtain my ROC passport through the local TECO in the philippines since my mom holds an ROC passport too(no Taiwan ID or household registration). Due to plenty of information and forums that I have read, I’m kind of lost. Can someone guide me on the process in order to obtain a Taiwan citizenship? And what to do and what not? Much appreciated on tour response(s).

Government site explains most things you need to know. I link some relevant instructions from the website of National Immigration Agency of Taiwan below.
you should reside in Taiwan for a while to get a citizenship.

In the case you can get a residency,

  1. Get your TARC (Taiwan Aria Resident Certificate).
  2. Continuously reside in Taiwan for a certain period on the TARC. The minimum is 1 year with no exit.

If you cannot get a residency,

  1. Get an entry and exit permit. you can stay in Taiwan for 90 days and apply for another 90-day extension once each time.
  2. Repeat visa runs, and continuously stay in Taiwan for more than 183 days each year for 7 years.
  3. Then, you are now eligible to get a TARC.

yes my father passed away too, his authenticated/translated death certificate is one of the requirements that needs to be submitted

@purplehome was born before father’s naturalization.

@tando Same for my case too, my father was naturalized after 9 or 10 years I was born but they (Taiwan Immigration) gave me list of requirements I should submit in order to acquire citizenship, I think I’ll ask TECO just to be sure. Thank you for the information @tando
