TW Passport anyone? I think I might try to take advantage of this one.

Plebs can get what they want sometimes But also that statement is incorrect. Many more people naturalise than apply for APRC. I think @anon24369109 has the stats somewhere [IMG_5054] [IMG_5055]

[image] Niurou: The majority of the plebs just get the APRC and call it a day, not many people want to dispense with their birth passport Since 2000 around 25,000 people got APRC’s, Since 2000 over 150,000 have naturalized Not sure how you make your “majority” figures up? I am not counted …

tbh in pure economic terms, naturalising is cheaper and easier than getting APRC: no income requirement no funds requirement 1.2k application fee vs 10k for APRC no health check (if I remember well) there is “only” the renouncing catch, which is huge (can even be very expensive for some folks, li…

Would be helpful to see a breakdown of nationalities. I think the majority of foreigners (like 95%) in Taiwan are from SEA countries where there’s little cost to acquiring Taiwan citizenship because they can regain back their previous citizenship easily.

Plus a lot of them don’t care to get back their original nationality. But I can’t say that too loud or someone will hiss that that’s racist Plus I’m taking about the plebs on the flob but I suspect Mr satellite knew that already

[image] jimbob132: The white collar workers from western countries cannot regain back citizenship easily, so they tend to not hang around for long if there’s no reasonable path to citizenship. not true for most cases, Oz (simple application), Italy (if you go back to Italy and re-register as …

I think it’s all relative, and I should clarify I don’t mean all white collar workers from western countries This wikipedia link gives an aggregate of foreigners living in Taiwan: Demographics of Taiwan - Wikipedia 2019: USA 1.29% UK 0.27% CA 0.28% France 0.20% Germany 0.12% etc.

well, I don’t make the rules, best to specify though. I can get my Italian passport back if I so choose, but I will fight so that no one should have to make this choice since TW do not need to make any choice whatsoever, and that’s not equal treatment.

So without reading the law, what’s the deal for “educators?” Who gets in?

Taiwan just (slightly) relaxed Dual Citizenship Rules
