Aren’t you the guy (someone who has apparently never had an APRC, at least if your story is truthful) who stated with total and unshakeable confidence that:
lol APRC holders cannot sponsor parents either.
This was posted by you in another thread in the distant historical era of . . . eight hours ago. I guess back then you were not aware there are different types of APRCs issued in Taiwan. When I received my type of APRC (I wrote about it in the relevant thread to help others, just as others have helped me) I was told directly by the NIA worker following my successful application that I am welcome to sponsor and bring my parents to Taiwan if I wished.
You must admit… it is kind of ridiculous to have so many different levels of “permanent residency.” I guess that’s why I have one card to rule them all.
Are you claiming that APRC was available in 1998 when I renounced?
If so please please back that up with evidence. Or do you think I am telling porky pies about never having had an APRC?
I know many people who have never had an APRC and naturalized.
What I am saying is that you are making blanket statements about APRC holders (there are different type—I emphasize this point) and their rights. And in this case, your blanket statements are not consistent with what I was told by the NIA.
I put huji in quotation marks for a reason…it’s not difficult to follow what that means.
It means I’m mentioned jn the huji when they want me to (so while not official in the huji…I’m in the huji in some form) in terms of they know exactly where I am living , with whom, how much I earn and even how much money in my bank accounts.
Yeh but doesn’t matter. He said it back in 2017, so I don’t think he even remembers what he was meaning.
Main thing is he was certainly wrong when he was claiming…
He could’ve made do if he tried and then get his original passport back within a year before even getting an ID card. He could’ve even done the 183 days a year for 5 year method… or over covid he could’ve just done the stay the whole year method.
I hope he does apply again sometime. When he does, I will be ready to give a helping hand regardless of the previous tantrums and name calling.
Someone just posted in a FB group for aprc that he naturalized, told MOI he has dual citizenship, they took a copy of his passports told him to only renounce the citizenship on the A R C
It was funny because @Ctbalms was making a big issue about it and asked for the HHR office I did mine. It sounded like he was telling them about my situation and they were going to investigate it.
Thanks for the correct. As I wrote earlier, I went to the HHR office in Chiayi city and had a nice 30 minute chat with the woman in charge of naturalization while picking up some forms there. The woman in charge told me they don’t care what nationality you choose to renounce and yes, like our friend John he changed his ARC citizenship to Canada and renounced that and kept his other citizenship. This is also allowed.
We had a great discussion on what “original nationality” really means especially nowadays when people have multiple citizenships already.
Sort of funny that some HHR offices are telling @marco he has to renounce ALL foreign citizenships but other HHR offices do not.
I’ve helped many change their ARC to a nationality they want to renounce. For some they can resume it for some like my ex Canadian friend he renounced the one he could not lol
I think he has his sights on some lass in Chiayi city. Who knows what desires lie in his possible future. HHR office staff in charge of naturalization told me they don’t care how many citizenship you have just renounce the one on your ARC.
, also polite.
