Same Sex Marriage in Taiwan for Foreigners

Do we have an update regarding LGBT foreigners marrying in taiwan

I have the same question! Can two foreigner can get same-sex married in Taiwan? If yes, what are the requirements? Thank you

I don’t know the answer of your question, and I’ve heard that one should be a taiwanese, but if it is yes, the requirement may be SSM is legal in both parties’ countries.

Chen said that under the new legislation legalizing same-sex marriage, as well as the spirit of Judicial Yuan Interpretation No. 748, same-sex couples where one party is a foreign national from a country where same-sex marriage is legal can also register to be married, starting May 24.

Under the new law, titled Enforcement Act of Judicial Yuan Interpretation No. 748, however, even with the legalization of same-sex marriage in Taiwan, a Taiwanese national cannot enter into a legally recognized union with a partner from a country where gay marriage is not legal.

Appears that law only covers at least one person among the 2 who is Taiwanese citizen, and if the other foreigner’s country has the same applicable law. From quick reading, not 2 foreigners.

What is ssm?

We’re both filipino. We wanna get married coz I wanna petition him here in Canada

SSM = same sex marriage
SSA = same sex attraction

Is the Taiwanese Judiciary independent as say, the US is?
Could the next president fire judges he or she doesn’t like and have rulings overturned? Examples from the past if any?

So 2 Filipinos can’t get married in taiwan?:pensive:

I’m just reading the news reports.
Think of it maybe this way… the law is for Taiwanese, not foreigners, unless one person in the couple is Taiwanese and one is foreigner.
Moreover, your country does Not recognize SSM, so it wouldn’t work even if your partner was Taiwanese, according to the news.

each of 15 judges usually fill a seat for an 8-year single term. Chief and vice chief can be replaced during their terms, (and maybe can be reappointed). When someone completes the 8 yr term, President nominates and legislative yuan appoints a next judge. Now, 8 of 15 are appointed by Ma, and 4 of them will complete their terms by September this year. New 4 judges may be appointed during Tsai’s term.

I found a way please feel free to message me for filipinos only
