Okay, well I'll probably be there too with my girlfriend if you wanna grab dinner sometime in Taipei. I'm probably flying out on Tuesday or so, and then dropping my documents off on Wednesday.
I'm also wondering what to write about "length of stay." I think you can just write how long you plan to stay on your first visit. If longer than 180 days I'd just write 179 or 180 days because that's the longest the visa allows before an extension.
it’s really strange though because from what I’ve seen here Americans applying in other countries don’t have to provide tax returns. Hmm yeah maybe it is Uncle Sam doing some bullying on Americans that haven’t left yet. I find the whole request very strange.
