Moving to Taiwan and other questions

Forum rules
We hope that the Living in Taiwan forum will be of value to you and others. To ensure this, please note:

It is best to capitalize topics and to avoid vague titles. “Hi, I’m new” and “Help please” are examples of bad titles.

Before posting, please check the FAQ thread, and – more importantly – use the search function to ensure that your topic has not been discussed before and that there is not an existing thread you could update with your contribution.

While Living in Taiwan is a busy, wide-ranging forum, there are other specific forums for relationships, teaching, business, legal issues, animals, food, events, travel, restaurants, and so on. Check the Forumosa menu to find the most appropriate place for your post.

While it is preferable to post questions dealing with dissimilar topics in separate threads (“How Much for an Apartment in Tianmu?”, “Are There Many Foreigners in Tianmu?”), if you are a new arrival, it is possible to present numerous questions in one post, but realize that your thread will then, after two weeks, be merged into the New to Taiwan: Some Questions thread.

So how do you go from APRC to getting a Taiwan citizenship? Do you really have to renounce your birthplace citizenship in order to get a TW passport?

You're not a newbie, so you're going to get one of these from me: :roll:

Be thankful it wasn't from Northcoast Surfer.


Yeah, sorry....going to sleep in a few mins and was too lazy to search. :notworthy:

It seems like you have a lot of family contacts! Why not try to get a job with them? English schools are expensive! What do you think about home schooling her while teaching her Chinese, then place her in a local school when she is ready?

We are just starting to put the word around my fiance's family but me only speaking very basic Mandarin will be a problem possibly. Teaching my daughter chinese is easier said than done, her mum has tried and tried but my daughter shows little or no interest. She is interested in having private lessons in england so I will arrange that very soon. Home schooling is an option but I would not have a clue where to start to be honest.

There is a homeschooling network here too if you might be interested in that. I don't know a lot about it but it does exist.
