To naturalize as a citizen of Taiwan (ROC), you must show basic language ability and basic knowledge of citizens’ rights and duties. One way is to pass the naturalization test (歸化測試): 20 questions drawn from the bank published by the Ministry of the Interior, 5 points each, 100 in all. Here are the 255 questions of the current written bank with their official answers, each translated into English beside the Chinese wording and explained in plain words. Our mock test draws its questions from the whole bank, as the real test does.

Why this answerQuestions people ask.
- Who has to take the naturalization test?
- Under the Nationality Act (國籍法, art. 3), a foreigner applying for naturalization must have basic language ability and basic knowledge of citizens’ rights and duties. There are three ways to prove it: a year at a school in Taiwan, the required hours of a government-run course, or a pass in the naturalization test. The course hours depend on your case: 200 for ordinary naturalization, 72 or 100 for spouses and other special cases, 72 at 65 or over. The exact rules are in the Ministry of the Interior’s standard (認定標準).
- How many questions are there, and what is the pass mark?
- Both the written and the oral test have 20 questions, 5 points each, 100 in all. Ordinary naturalization needs 70 points (14 right). Spouses, children of citizens and the other cases of articles 4 and 5 of the Nationality Act need 60 points (12 right). From the age of 65 you need 50 points (10 right). In our mock test you choose the pass mark that applies to you.
- Can I take the test in English?
- No. The written test is multiple choice in Chinese (Traditional characters). The oral test is a spoken question-and-answer session in Mandarin, Taiwanese (Hokkien), Hakka or an indigenous language. That is why every question here also shows its Chinese wording: the English translation helps you understand it, but in the test you will read or hear it in Chinese.
- What is the difference between the written and the oral test?
- You choose one. Both are drawn from banks published by the Ministry of the Interior, and the order of the questions and options may differ from the bank. We practise the written bank. The regulation sets no time limit; local offices usually give 30 minutes.
- Where do I register, and what does it cost?
- The test is held by the household registration offices (戶政事務所) of each city and county. Some hold it on set dates, others let you take it on the spot, so ask your local office first. The fee is NT$500.
- Are these the real test questions?
- Yes. The real test is drawn only from the bank published by the Ministry of the Interior, and these are the questions and official answers of the current written bank (edition 114年11月). Two are not shown: one whose official answer no longer matches the law (the deadline to apply for a residence permit is now 30 days) and one whose options are pictures. The translations and explanations are ours, not official material.
