Did your parent have a citizenship when you were born?

If so, it is straightforward to get your citizenship.

  1. Renew or get again your passport. I think you can do it by mail.

  2. Get your entry and exit permit.

  3. Enter in Taiwan on your Taiwanese passport.

  4. Get your TARC. Or, this step can be done in New Zealand before you go to Taiwan.

  5. After living in Taiwan for a certain period, apply for your citizenship.

Essential documents are your parent’s transcript of household registration and your birth certificate. You could ask to obtain the HHR to your relatives in Taiwan. Your parent’s death should be registered if not yet.
