How difficult is it for a Filipina to get a tourist Visa to Taiwan? She is traveling with me, on a Fiancee Visa, through Taipei, to Taiwan, to the USA, but we will have an overnight stay. It is my understanding that we will need to get her a Tourist Visa since the airline connection is not until the next day. She does not have significant financial assets in the Philippines, or will she be employed at the time, since she is moving to the USA. I have already talked to United Airlines, and the Taiwan Embassy in Manila. They both tell me for an overnight stay, she should have a tourist visa. The lady at the Embassy told me a list of things they would want, and the one that causes me the biggest concern, is the request for proof of financial holdings in the Philippines. I'm guessing since she is transiting through, this will not be an issue.
How can I prove the contention that Taiwan is an overseas territory of the United States? One of my friends is working on a homework assignment where he has to advance the logic of something "very unusual" and "surprising." Since there are many articles on the internet now discussing the fact that Taiwan's true international legal position is that it is "an overseas territory of the United States," I am thinking that he could use this as his topic. Unfortunately, I don't have all the details on this agenda. Most importantly, I don't have the "step by step" logic to make this into a coherent argument. It is obvious that Taiwan is not Chinese territory, since there are no international legal documents which can prove that the territorial sovereignty of Taiwan was ever transferred to China in the WWII period. However, the rationale that the United States is actually holding Taiwan's sovereignty is a bit harder to prove. (According to what I read on the web, such an analysis is derived directly from the post-war San Francisco Peace Treaty.)
