Quick update that the Taipei embassy is open again as of Friday, 10/4. Our paperwork was submitted for review this morning. Fingers crossed!

UPDATE: Visa paid and approved today. Pickup for our passports is on Monday - so it's a two-day process. Feel free to ask questions in the comments.

Taipei does, there are several posts confirming this. It was always same day pick up but they are now busier and next day pick up has become the norm.

Thanks! And yes, they accepted both of our applications at the same time and both were approved at the same time.

@David **********
That's great! They previously said we'd only be able to submit the dependent's application after the main one is approved.

If it's you and your wife applying together, be sure to bring the original copy of your marriage certificate. They wanted to see ours, not just copies as indicated on their website.

We were told the same via email but it seems like they are letting people submit simultaneously in person.
