'Like a bird in a cage'
In Taiwan, 90,000 migrants have gone off the grid, many fleeing exploitative jobs for life in the shadows aje.io/hsmgzu
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.
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. 😅
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.🤞
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!

#TyphoonKrathon In Kaohsiung. The worst one I have seen in 10 years. Everyone stay safe! 🇹🇼🤝
For the first time in decades, there's a real chance that thousands of long-term foreign residents in Taiwan can become citizens without having to give up their original citizenship.
THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

Thank you, @taiwanplusnews, for featuring us in this piece. I truly believe that Taiwan is on the path to embracing dual citizenship one day. It’s just a matter of time.
From 2020 till now, it’s been a constant battle to get my parents the extendable 6-month visas they qualify for. This time was no different. After a year of stay, I was forced to do a visa run with my elderly parents, only for them to be given visas with “NO EXTENSION” again.
