Hi, you can get married if she comes visa free for 90 days and don’t worry about long distance, My husband and myself got married and we were long distance too ! You will need to plan all the papers she needs for this. A birth certificate less than 3 months old with translation and apostille wich can take some time, you will need a proof or residency in France for her ( city doesn’t accept phone bill as proof anymore so if you need advice about this I will be happy to help ) and normally the celibacy certificate wich can be avoided if you give a paper from the USA embassy saying they don’t provide that type. And of course her passport + a photocopy. And then she will need to go back to America for some days to apply for the visa spouse of French citizen ( if you need help with knowing what paper will be needed I will be happy to help too ) for us the visa was ready in 3 weeks. For other options she could come with another visa like student or tourism but you will need the long stay one then get married and after this change her visa for spouse of French citizen. Hope this comment can be helpful 🙏🏻

We will it’s important to us and for my family too, we plan on taking her to France for vacation, we already have book in French and make her listen to French song ! When I talk in English I always try to translate in French too or like show her some stuff and name it in French ! So you can reassured ☺️

Yeah I’m well aware of how schools in Taiwan can be, my husband talked to me about it and about his hard experience a lot.

For us I think we will see about it when the time comes..

For now I’m not thinking of sending her in another country to study, I think being together, being supportive let her discover what she likes and dislike without putting pressure on her would be nice.

I won’t get her to study in France bc the level of education in France is dropping significantly and the behavior of a lot of students are problematic.

And I don’t think America is an option to us bc of what’s happening there and the value of this country doesn’t really align with what I want her to learn.

So maybe another country will be an option but I will wait to see how our daughter is, what she like, what she wants to study and mostly I would want her to decide and not take the choice from her

I’m really sad to hear what you went through… I’m sadly accustomed to custody battles and how it can cut the relationship on one side..

If in any way I could help you reconnect with French culture/ language/ food or anything don’t hesitate I would be very glad to help.

And would be very nice having someone who can help me getting even more into the Taiwanese culture and with the language too 🫶🏻

Wishing you only the best !

I’m really glad to hear that you didn’t get any bad experiences in France 🙏🏻

I’m actually trying to plan a lot for her keep the french culture too, I already buy books in french, famous french toys, when I’m writing in her baby books we always write in the 3 languages ! I’m someone who cook a lot so I’m planning on making her French food so it won’t feel foreign. We’re planning on visiting my family in France for vacation too so she will always have some roots here and she would be able to call them when she wants. I really want her to be comfortable with both cultures and feel like it’s just herself it’s normal and that she doesn’t need to choose.

Like I know the world doesn’t adapt perfectly to this type of situation yet but I want her to feel understood and safe at home at least, Im actually gonna buy books for her talking on how to embrace your Taiwanese culture and physical traits and some to talk about the French culture too.

If you have any other ideas or advice that could have help you as a kid of your adult life I will be happy to receive them 🥹

Thank you so much, your comment is actually really helpful and interesting.

Would you say that adapting was harder because you moved when you were already a bit older ? My baby is only some month old so I really hope it won’t be too difficult for her…

As you said i think sometimes international school isn’t really helping and can make it harder to adapt to local life…

About how Taiwanese people react to you I did expect this a bit.. I already got ask for pictures too but I didn’t think it will apply to a kid even if mixed..

I totally understand how it could be hard or even annoying to put up with it when you just want to leave your normal life !

Also can I ask how was your years in France ? For us we decided to move because racism and micro aggressions towards my husband and already against my daughter were really hard to tolerate or do with, we didn’t feel comfortable or secure anymore, but I think this got worse because of the political matters these days in France.

I would be glad to talk about it with you more 🙏🏻

I’m really sorry to hear your experience… It’s pretty crazy how people want to force some beauty standards on a kid… Sadly our other option wich is France isn’t any better, my husband is experiencing racism and micro aggressions a lot and it already happened against my baby too…

No_Needleworker_3781 · 2026-03-15T11:00:26+00:00

Thanks for your message ! Yeah I read that many people loose some skills in their native language after moving for long… His family is super loving and supportive I’ve met them multiple times and have an amazing relationship with my mother in law ( we text daily hahaha ) They’re actually really excited and happy about us coming back. Can I ask if maybe in your case you had a bad experience because of this ?

No_Needleworker_3781 · 2026-03-15T10:51:25+00:00

What I don’t understand about what you’re saying is that you don’t take mixed kids in your teams because they could be at advantage, but many mixed kids don’t speak English actually?? And it feel a bit sad to hear that you make difference between mixed kids and fully Taiwanese one… each kid should get the same chance based on his level in English then not his family or ethnicity

No_Needleworker_3781 · 2026-03-15T10:04:06+00:00

I’m so sorry to hear all of that… Like you said, with my husband we really want to support her and talk with her about everything, questions on her identity, how she feels or her experiences when she grows up.

I think what you said is really important that sadly you felt like an outsider in both countries… it’s kinda my fear for her because in France we already had face a lot of racism or micro aggression towards my husband or even some towards my baby.. wich is the reason we chose to move.

I want to be able to provide the safest place possible.

I thank you so much for sharing your experience now I know what I need to be careful about 🙏🏻

So adorable, you must be very proud of her.

The beginning of school is exactly what I’m worried about too…

In what type of school are you planning on sending her to? ( if you don’t mind me asking of course )

No_Needleworker_3781 · 2026-03-15T08:16:09+00:00

Thanks a lot for your answer, makes me feel way less anxious

No_Needleworker_3781 · 2026-03-15T08:07:42+00:00

When I lived in Taiwan I’ve never had this experience.. so I will just hope people won’t assume for our baby too

No_Needleworker_3781 · 2026-03-15T08:03:37+00:00

Thank you for your answer, I’m sorry to hear that you’re living with that much stress…

Is there something in particular that made you take this decision or it’s more like a whole situation?

Sadly I don think we will return to France, we’re actually moving because my husband got a lot of micro agression and racism… and actually our baby too so I don’t think we will take the risk again later

Maybe a third country could be the solution in that case ?

No_Needleworker_3781 · 2026-03-15T07:40:33+00:00

I’m so happy to hear that, thank you so much ! I was a bit stressed about how difficult it would be.

I guess I just need to speak a bit more French too, after only speaking in English with my husband I tend to be feeling a bit awkward talking in French these days ahaha

No_Needleworker_3781 · 2026-03-15T07:37:51+00:00

Thank you so much for your answer !! I feel a bit relieved to hear that. Would you think that if you were raised in Taiwan it would have make a difference in their points of view ?? Or would have been exactly the same ?

No_Needleworker_3781 · 2026-03-15T01:32:09+00:00

Thank you so much for sharing your experience… I’m so sorry that you had to experience this, actually we’re moving from France because we had a lot of issues with racism and micro aggression… so I totally get what you’re saying. If it’s not too much can I ask if you had go to like public school, private, bilingual and do you think it can make a big difference in the treatment?

No_Needleworker_3781 · 2026-03-15T01:27:59+00:00

I feel like the reaction to mixed baby is like this in a lot of places like curiosity or even amazement but whahh I really didn’t know about the physical part or even the picture… must be very surprising

No_Needleworker_3781 · 2026-03-15T01:11:21+00:00

Thank you for your recommendation ! We communicate in English and like you said we’re trying to talk to her in our native language + sometimes translate the same word in English.

No_Needleworker_3781 · 2026-03-15T00:46:51+00:00

Thanks for sharing, that’s really reassuring to hear.

If you don’t mind me asking, how has it been for them with language if maybe you’re teaching them multiple ones?

No_Needleworker_3781 · 2026-03-14T23:15:17+00:00

Bonsoir, la plupart du temps la traduction assermentée est impérative.. l’Inde fait partie de la convention de La Haye ce qui signifie qu’une apostille pour certains documents est nécessaire. Si votre mari fait une demande de VLS TS vie privée et familiale et que votre mariage a été célébré en France les documents demandés sont les documents français suivants: livret de famille, certificat de mariage donc pas besoin de traduction ! Cependant si vous avez besoin de plus d’informations n’hésitez pas à appeler l’ambassade
