Travel to Taiwan for Chinese citizens

[sylinchinastill]

Has anyone here ever tried to get a visa to travel to Taiwan with a Chinese passport? My husband just changed jobs and he must travel to Taiwan- but I'm not exactly sure what the process is and I'm having a hard time finding info in English.

As I understand, you have to be out of China for 2 to 3 years before you can apply for a Taiwanese visa. It's a process that would be made much easier with American citizenship. Sorry, I can't provide any other help as I'm in China at the moment and all Taiwanese "cultural institute" websites are blocked.

I've been looking for information as well, with the idea that my wife (w/chinese passport and green card) might be able to accompany me on a business trip to Taiwan in March. I found these two websites so far:

 

http://www.roc-taiwan.org/usoffice/dc.htm

 

http://www.boca.gov.tw/lp.asp?ctNode=114&a...eDSD=7&mp=2

 

The second site includes a downloadable visitor's visa application.

 

However, I don't know yet whether it's actually possible to get the visa. I'm planning to call the consular division at the Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office in Washington, DC to ask a few questions before I spend a lot of time filling out applications (and paying application fees).

Here's something else I found:

One question:

 

How will the PRC Customs react when she visits China

and they see a the ROC visa?

My family is Taiwanese, and my wife is Chinese. So this is a situation I am very interested in, as we definitely want to visit relatives in the near future. I'll be very interested in any definitive information on this. Anybody here had any experience with it?
