@slawa_dev They went with option B, treating as if my daughter didn't exist. My son was registered as first-born. They'll give 5000 subsidy. Honestly, I didn't even know about the subsidy, and I'd gladly give it up if they would just register my daughter. But they insist on renunciation.

1/2 I am trying to register my newborn son at household office. & It has became a big headache for them because they don’t know whether to register him as first born or not. Apparently this affects child subsidy. Because 1st child is 5000/month, but 2nd child is 6000/month.

@QaziMazhar_ My daughter cannot apply for a plum blossom. I already have citizenship. But even if I had gotten citizenship via a plum blossom card, my daughter would still be required to renounce, which she cannot. This root of the problem is Taiwan’s law requiring children to renounce.

@SamKTaiwan You can get plum blossom card by investment and get citizenship without renunciation.

Our son was born today & we’re overjoyed. Yet it’s also a reminder of how I failed our daughter. I can’t help but feel angry at Taiwan’s laws where my son is a citizen at birth, but my daughter is still denied citizenship due to the renunciation law. It’s wrong & hurts our family

First time ever going to a Walmart. Never seen so much “stuff” or so much variety of it. Felt a little embarrassed taking pictures there. They don’t know. But I’ve only seen a Walmart on TV. 😅

@RachelH28867500 I am not sure to be honest. But the immigration line was pretty fast. They didn’t spend more than few minutes on anyone. I am only on a visit visa so they just asked me how many days I will be in US and where I will be staying and that’s it. It was pretty easy.

Flying to US today. Last time was 5 or 6 years ago. I usually get extra scrutiny at check-in. First time flying as a Taiwanese citizen. So far, haven’t been allowed to check-in online. Last one now at manual check-in, & they took my passport and disappeared somewhere.🤞

First-time ever. Took me less than a minute at the SFO immigration counter. Surprisingly simple. Just asked me how many days I’ll be there and the purpose of the visit & they let me go right after I answered. No extra scrutiny. 😅

I guess some things don’t change just because you change your nationality. I don’t blame them, but it sucks still. It’s a good thing I’ve built a lot of patience over the last 20 years traveling as a Pakistani.

An interesting article from a fellow Gold Card holder. Worth a read! “Why I Became the First Foreigner to Challenge Taiwan’s Constitution on Workplace Discrimination” english.cw.com.tw/article/articl…
