In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, Taiwan has adopted decisive provisions that help prevent Taiwanese society from the consequences of the spread of COVID-19.
One of the most significant measures is the closure of its border towards foreigners who do not hold residency in the country.
It is without doubt that preventing international travels has contributed considerably to the success of Taiwan’s strategy to prevent the outbreak of COVID-19. However, this measure has incurred enormous burden on international couples who have been separated and not yet able to reunite since the closure of the border.
Over these two years, the pandemic has been gradually gotten under control in Taiwan. Taiwan has proved that its quarantine system is effective in managing and curbing the risk of accepting arrivals. Vaccines are relatively easier to obtain and vaccination rate in Taiwan has achieved 72% of full coverage. As a result, foreign students and business travellers with special permissions are allowed to enter. Yet, foreigners who have been waiting to visit their partners in Taiwan are still barred entry after two years’ time.
Therefore, we are earnestly requesting for Taiwanese government to allow entry for foreigners who are in a relationship and intend to get married with Taiwanese nationals, so that we will be able to get married and start our lives in Taiwan.
Due to the COVID-19, our marriage plans are forced to be postponed and we have already been suffering from the pain of being separated from our partners for two years. We don’t see the end of the pandemic and restriction on foreigners since the virus is not likely to disappear any time soon.
● We want to enter Taiwan and get married with our partners.
● We want to stay in Taiwan and contribute to the society.
● We are willing to undergo quarantine and take self-paid COVID tests.

We do not have the intention to put Taiwan in any risk, all we hope is just being able to reunite with our partners and get married.
Give us a chance to build a future for us, for our afamilies, and for Taiwan.

在新冠病毒造成大流行之後，台灣採取了許多決定性的措施，以保護台灣社會免受新冠病毒的侵襲。
其中，最主要的一項措施就是禁止不具備居留權的外籍人士入境。
毫無疑問的，藉由全面阻擋跨國旅遊，確實能夠有效幫助防止新冠病毒在國內爆發。
然而，這項措施卻也對跨國伴侶造成了巨大的影響，跨國伴侶無法入境台灣而被迫長期分隔兩地的。
在這兩年裡疫情逐漸受到控制，台灣已證明其“檢疫隔離制度”有能力處理海外入境的風險，疫苗也相對容易獲得，國內的疫苗接種率也已達到72%的高水準。外籍學生及商務人士也獲得特別許可入境。

然而，在等了兩年之後，盼望入境台灣相聚的外籍伴侶們，仍然被禁止入境。

因此，我們懇求台灣政府允許台灣國民的外籍訂婚伴侶入境，讓我們可以在台灣結婚及開始婚姻生活。
我們的結婚計畫已經被迫擱置，也承受了與伴侶分離的痛苦整整兩年了，我們也看不到疫情或入境限制的盡頭，也無法預期病毒在短時間內消失。

我們想入境台灣並完成婚姻大事。
我們想要在台灣生活並為社會貢獻。
我們願意遵守隔離並自費進行新冠病毒檢測。

我們不想讓台灣面臨任何風險，只希望能夠與伴侶團聚並結婚。
給我們一個機會，為我們、我們的家人和台灣建立一個未來。
