What you would say makes no difference. You are only treated as a citizen when entering on an ROC passport. Expired or active HHR you cannot claim to have as a foreigner. It’s why foreign spouses are a mere footnote in their ROC spouses HHR as they cannot have HHR.
My ex wife comes in on Australian or Taiwan passport. Her HHR is not expired or inactive as she enters every year just does not stay 31 days on her ROC passport. So she has active HHR but when she enters on Australian passport is subject to the laws of being a foreigner.
If she did not come to Taiwan for two years on her ROC passport her HHR would be inactive. She could not activate it by entering Taiwan on her Australian passport. She would need to enter on her ROC Passport. This is why the woman in that story linked could not activate her HHR as she entered on her US passport. She can only re-activate her HHR by entering on an ROC passport.
This is the way.
Enter on a foreign passport you are a foreigner.
Enter on an ROC passport then you are not a foreigner.
Sure and I have discussed this also. If I enter as a foreigner I can get a Tax ID for foreigners. If I am not here as a citizen I am not taxed the same as citizens. I would need to be here 183 days a year as a foreigner to have to declare overseas income. I could not have a Taiwan income as a foreigner with no work permit on a visa free entry. I would if I had an ARC.
Good news story thanks for linking that. It shows entering on a foreign passport you cannot be treated the same way as a citizen entering on an ROC passport.
Again you fail to understand the law. If I enter using a foreign passport I have no HHR to use. A foreigner who enters Taiwan cannot hold HHR. Being a tax resident as a citizen I have to enter Taiwan as an ROC citizen.
Whipping out a phone to record argue about that, then have them on the backfoot and then elicit the desired response. By that stage they probably told you whatever you wanted so you would leave.
She admitted she thought her feelings that I could not record her was the law.
This is not brow beating. Some people think they can tell others not to record in public claiming it’s the law when they do not actually know what the law is.
Educating people on understanding the law is a good thing.
Nonsense. You were not there. We had a polite conversation. I asked if if she minded if I recorded the conversation. She thought it was the law that I could not record based on her feelings. When I showed her the law she was surprised as she had not read the law that allows people to record their own conversations with others in public. She then said it was OK if I recorded.
She had assumed it was not allowed.
Stop trying to accuse me of causing an argument when no such thing too place. I did not whip out a phone. I wore a body cam. I recorded after she said it was OK to do so after she read the law on recording.
Also the answer as to tax ID did not come from the NIA office staff in Chiayi as they did not know the answer. It came from a senior officer at the NIA HQ in Taipei.
I’ve never had a theory that I am multiple people. I Just advise people how to use the system as existing dual citizens to naturalize here and only renounce the one citizenship on their ARC. Even as of February 2024 people I have advised have done this. More will be applying and they will be not saying anything to anyone about their other citizenships not listed on their ARC.
Not really. Australians are also permanent residents of NZ. So even if asked to renounce both they still have residency in both Australia and NZ after resuming Australian citizenship. It’s no big loss if they ask to renounce NZ when you also have Australian citizenship.
Should they be worried “that MOI will ask them to give up their NZ citizenship as well” is what I was saying. It’s a hassle getting all documents in place.
I wonder why we can’t see your original comment in its entirety.
