Q: Is same-sex/gay marriage allowed in Taiwan?
A: Yes, Taiwan was the first country in Asia to allow same-sex marriage. However it is only allowed for foreigners who are citizens of countries in which same sex marriage is legal.

Conjugal may be very possible. Can you give us more info?Dear Jacklondon and Dan88, I am facing a very similar situation. My boyfriend is a Philippine citizen and I am Canadian. He got 2x refused a visitor visa on grounds that speculated that he would not return and is not financially capable. Both of which is not true and likely is the result of unfairness. Essentially we are unable to get married or get a certificate of common law union. One options seems that we could travel to Taiwan, but when Taiwan only allows Taiwanese citicens to marry foreigners in which country same-sex marriage is allowed, then this would not work. The last resort seems to apply for conjugal sponsorship, which is indefinitely complicated and likely to fail, since we met shortly before covid and for the authorities did not live long enough together.
Like Dan88 I am grateful for any advise.
thanks Lutz
Thank you for the reply.Conjugal may be very possible. Can you give us more info?
- How much time have you spent together exactly? How many times have you visited each other or how long did you live together? Have you taken a number of vacations together?
- Do you have any shared assets or properties or bank accounts?
- Are your parents / friends aware of your relationship?
- Do you have any other evidence you can think of that shows a "marriage like relationship"?
You need to show a marriage like relationship (of course without the ability to actually get married or live together for a full year to become common law). You are right about the age gap. That is a red flag you will need to overcome through having a strong application in other ways.Thank you for the reply.
I have been visiting the Philippines two times and we stayed together for a total of about 5 weeks. I have kept all receipts of travel related things that we did together. I also support him financially for which I have proof. We know each other for 4 years now. I have to work and can't just go and live in the Philippines to fullfill the 1 year requirement. Also there is a rather large age gap of 30years which may cause prejudice.
Yes my children and friends are aware (parents have passed away years ago). Different situation for the boyfriend. He has some friends who know, but not family members.
Well, I was hoping that genuine devotion would suffice, perhaps with letters from friends on either side. We both are certain that we can show the genuity of our relationship. Question is if IRCC officials will accept it.
