In the exam (Chinese)
為我國國人之配偶如果離婚或配偶死亡，下列何種情形不可以申請歸化？
- aDivorced because of domestic violence and has not remarried.因受家庭暴力離婚且未再婚。
- bThe spouse has died, the person has not remarried, and there are facts showing that they still keep contact with the family of the deceased spouse.配偶死亡後未再婚且有事實足認與其亡故配偶家屬仍有往來。
- cDivorced by mutual consent, and has no other lawful reason to continue to reside in Taiwan.兩願離婚且無其他合法居留事由繼續居留在臺者。Correct answer
Why?
Under Article 4 of the Nationality Act, a person whose spouse has died and who has not remarried and still keeps contact with the spouse's family, or who was divorced because of domestic violence and has not remarried, can still apply for naturalization. A person who simply divorced by mutual consent cannot apply under this provision.
