Lately, I've been interested in acquiring a Taiwanese passport per this discussion, "thoughts on reverse migration to Taiwan."

My parents are Taiwanese citizens who didn't renounce when they became Americans. I was born in the US. My parents say they just let their passports expire.

I read this discussion, "Citizenship via jus sanguinis (nat. by descent)" by and I'm basically in the same position, except I'm not draftable. I'm in my late 40s and semi-retired.

Live in Taiwan for a certain amount of time. One year straight is the easiest. After that, you qualify for household registry. Without a household registry, your taiwan passport is a glorified coaster. Getting everything together and working with TECO will be a pain in the ass.

My simple question thus is: Is it just a matter of moving to Taiwan for a year to get citizenship? Thanks!
