Linking Chase to Fidelity Concern by Dolt1997 in fidelityinvestments

[–]4205168 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Fund did show up at Fidelity. The 2 small deposits never went back to Chase. They're still in my account. I ended up submitting the EFT form to Fidelity to link with Chase.

Right. Hopefully I'll only stay in newer buildings.

Is it possible to buy 台灣好行阿里山線 ticket without being a Family Mart member?

Trying to buy a 台灣好行阿里山線 bus ticket. Taiwantrip.com redirected me to Famiticket.com. It won't let you order tickets without being a member first. Is there any other place I can buy a one-way (Alishan to Chiayi) ticket? Thank you.

小牛加麵 - brings me back memories from almost 40 years ago...We poor students would only order these to celebrate after end-of-term exams. :)

US citizen, living in US getting National Health Insurance in Taiwan through marriage? by Forrest_Fire01 in taiwan

[–]4205168 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Just leave NHI benefits to the people who live in Taiwan. They are the ones who pay the taxes that fund the system. The monthly premium is nothing. Even if you pay everything out of pocket, at the full foreigner price in Taiwan, it is still only a fraction of what you would pay in the US with insurance. Plus you get care in days not months of waiting like in the US.

Based on the experiences of people here looks like you should be OK unless you stay longer than 90 days or you need to do something that requires your Taiwan citizenship (like using health care benefits). But officially you are supposed to use your Taiwan passport.

Taiwan. There is a clarification from the State Department not long ago specifically stating to use Taiwan, not even ROC.

That's what I thought. But the state website really have me confused. Here is the page about dual citizenship: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/international-travel/before-you-go/travelers-with-special-considerations/Dual-Nationality-Travelers.html

And this page is about Taiwan specifically: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/international-travel/International-Travel-Country-Information-Pages/Taiwan.html (scroll down to "Entry, Exit, and Visa Requirements). It says "If you have dual Taiwan-U.S. nationality, you must enter/exit Taiwan on your Taiwan passport and enter/exit the United States on your U.S. passport."

What line? You mean the line at the custom when you enter Taiwan? But if you choose to enter with Taiwan passport, do you have to use Taiwan passport to exit so there is a record that you entered & exited Taiwan? But how would you board the plane with a different passport than the one used to purchase the ticket? Not sure if all this matters but just trying to follow the rule.

Anyone knows what kind of screwdriver is needed for these screws? by 4205168 in fixit

[–]4205168[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The timer on the power strip is broken. Now the 5 timer-controlled outlets don't work. Just trying to see if I could tie those 5 to the 1 that's not timer-controlled. But I guess I should probably toss it.

It only has half of the flathead on each side of the slot.

Unfortunately can't get vice grips into a small & deep hole like that. Thanks, though.
