Welcome. Looks like more and more considering this avenue for retirement.
So I know the question of retirement in Taiwan has been bandied around a few times but mostly by people who haven’t actually lived in Taiwan or sometimes have even confused Taiwan with Thailand. My wife and I lived in Taiwan (Taipei city and county) for 8 years on and off from 1998-2010.

Hi folks, I know there is another thread about the best place to live, what about the best place to retire? Good air quality, not so bad weather, cheap housing, access to quality health care would be amongst the criteria. Residency rights and Chinese language ability not a problem. What about Jinmen? Or Taichung?
If wife born in Taiwan, should still have citizenship.
Can check local TECO in New York if she has not been back in a while (passport, etc.).
Taiwan has National Health Insurance. Once she gets on it and then you her spouse (getting spousal visa), then you get on it.
Others will soon chime in.
