Talk:Mainland Travel Permit for Taiwan Residents

Taiwan Compatriot Entry Permit is the common name?
The article's title was changed from "Taiwan Compatriot Pass" to "Taiwan Compatriot Entry Permit", citing the latter being the more common name.

I am not sure if that's the case, since the people who use the document don't generally speak English. But in Wikipeida "Taiwan Compatriot Pass" is the more common name. If we are translating from common Chinese name of "台胞證" into to English, "Taiwan Compatriot Pass" is the more correct translation. Could we have some examples to show that "Taiwan Compatriot Entry Permit" is the more common name please?--pyl (talk) 13:02, 10 October 2008 (UTC)


 * I introduced the term "Taiwan Compatriot Pass" to Wikipedia, and when I did it (yes, I googled), that was the only place on the internet where the term was being used. I noticed that the Taipei Times uses "Taiwan Compatriot Entry Permit" and no references to the document appears anywhere else.
 * I think "Permit" is a better translation than "Pass". Longer names are used for the documents used by mainland residents and HK residents to enter Taiwan, but common names might be more appropriate.--Jiang (talk) 12:21, 16 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your reply. Yeah, now I just did a google search and found that "Taiwan Compatriot Entry Permit" is also used by the Mainland Affairs Council. If that's the case, I think we will stick with this term which is also used by official organisations.--pyl (talk) 12:25, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Can you get a PRC passport with an ROC passport? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.194.120.169 (talk) 20:17, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

American born Taiwanese
I have a Taiwanese passport, and was born in USA. I've always lived in the USA. Am I entitled to get a compatriot permit just like any other Taiwanese? or will I be treated differently because I am also a U.S. citizen. I do not have the right to abode in Taiwan. The way the law currently sits, anyone born to parents settled in another country is not considered a Chinese citizen, which includes people like me. Even though both my parents were born in China, they were settled in the USA by the time I was born, disqualifying me from being considered Chinese. —Preceding unsigned comment added by JOIZO (talk • contribs) 01:05, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
