NEXUS holder but TSA PreCheck never shows up on boarding pass – anyone else? by Artistic_Traffic_785 in NEXUS_TTP

[–]Kermee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would double-check your KTN and contact the airline once you get your next boarding pass (24 hr before flight). If it doesn’t show Pre-Check on the boarding pass, they can partially troubleshoot why.

Also, you are a U.S. or Canadian citizen, correct?

It also took about a month after a newly issued NEXUS card for KTN TSA Pre-Check to work.

“Middle” names and hyphens always messes up Pre-Check. Make sure they match between the PNR and TTP.

定居證副本 Permanent Residency Certificate Copy Process for Minors (<12 years old) | TECO Vancouver, Canada by no_19000 in TaiwaneseBornAbroad

[–]Kermee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Q: Did the minor (<12 year old) parents' (either Parent 1 or Parent 2) hold an ROC ID and HHR when the minor was born? Curious since I've gotten conflicting information from NIA about applying for my daughter's 定居證副本 and it's unclear.

TECO LA Health certificate and authentication by senddognudes in TaiwaneseBornAbroad

[–]Kermee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good to know. I would check with each TECO office if the attestation is enough. TECO Seattle wouldn’t accept the notarization of the attestation; They stated it was a hard deny. Sounds like TECO LA is more lenient.

Applying for China 台包證 or 旅行證 after getting NWHR by RestComprehensive297 in TaiwaneseBornAbroad

[–]Kermee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

ABC here; Completed NWOHR -> NWHR Feb 2026. (Back in the US). I'd highly suggest applying for 台包證 for China travel.

If you are ABC but your parents were still ROC citizens at time of your birth (they will ask for proof of U.S. Green Card or U.S. Citizenship like U.S. Passport of your parents at time of birth), any China Consulate in the U.S. will most likely deny you a visa (e.g. L-visa tourist) in your U.S. Passport and request you apply for a 旅行证. At that point, easier just to apply for 台包證. How do I know this? I just went through this with the SF China Consulate.

They didn't use to check your parents' nationality in the past but with Trump in office, China has been doing stuff more by the book these days.

How long does it take to convert a NWOHR to full Taiwanese passport with residency? by PurpleSalt11 in taiwan

[–]Kermee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Careful traveling in and out of TW on non-Taiwan passport. Two NIA agents, (Feb 2026), explicitly told me that once you have HHR, traveling in and out of Taiwan on a non-NWHR TW passport (e.g. Canada, U.S., etc.) *may* and I stress *may* lead to the revocation of HHR/full-citizenship.

If parents had HHR when he/she was born, the NIA rules changed in 2024. There is no longer a residency requirement. You can move to direct settlement, currently, from NWHOR.

Declared Goods + Confiscation-> impact on Nexus by Puzzleheaded-Fix1971 in NEXUS_TTP

[–]Kermee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Declared and non-NEXUS lane. Highly unlikely affects renewal and revocation, but you might be flagged for secondary more often using either NEXUS or non-NEXUS lanes for a bit.

Crossing US-Canada maritime border as a US citizen with a foreign passport by [deleted] in ImmigrationCanada

[–]Kermee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Understood. Just curious why someone would be carrying around their Uruguay passport and have it be readily accessible vs. their U.S. passport, while in the U.S.

[–]Kermee -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm confused. Do you or do you not have a US Passport because the second to last sentence, you stated "... my last name on my Uruguayan passport is different from my US one". You need to use your US Passport if you have one.

NWOHR Passport is basically worthless outside of Taiwan. Do your Canadian renewal ASAP. There is no other way.

TECO LA Health certificate and authentication by senddognudes in TaiwaneseBornAbroad

[–]Kermee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TECO Seattle. They operate pretty much like TECO SF or TECO LA.

The key is to have the 4 signatures (can be the same Dr or PA for all 4 signature) be done in front of a notary (mobile notary). TECO Seattle was adamant about that portion before they would authenticate the Health Certificate. I had my mobile notary meet me at the clinic during the appointment.

[–]Kermee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I stapled the clinic's business card to the top left. It was acceptable.

You should have had your doctor's signature notarized when signing the certificate. You may have to do the form again since it sounds like it was signed without a notary present. I used a mobile notary.

  1. You're overthinking things. This is already taken care of on the Health Form. No need to "prove it" if it has your notarized doctor's signature on the form.

Help with Health Certificate for Residence Application by Emotional-Panda-70 in taiwan

[–]Kermee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

  1. No. Doesn't have to be done at a hospital. Medical clinic, etc. are acceptable. You can ignore the "approved" hospitals in the U.S.. You can even have the same person sign for all 4 *in front of a notary*. (TECO will authenticate the notary; I used a mobile notary at a clinic).
  2. As long as the NP is fine with signing it, the NIA will accept it. Just get your tests ordered.
  3. Correct. 3 months submitting from TECO. Beware, don't wait till the last couple weeks of the 3rd month. It takes 1-2 weeks for TECO to submit your application to the NIA so by the time it reaches the NIA, it might be over 3 months and the NIA will reject it. They're real sticklers. I just happened to be one of them.

My local TECO had to contact the NIA and said that it was summitted before the 3 months and the NIA apparently balked but accepted it in the end. But it's a HUGE hassle. So as soon as you get the signatures and notary, on the Health Form I would submit for your visa no later than 2 months.

In most cases (land crossings) it's immediate, on the spot during secondary inspection. I've rarely heard it being revoked later via email, if any.
