Taiwan問題74 · Naturalisation

After naturalization is approved, which of the following has no time limit for revocation?

In the exam (Chinese)

在歸化經許可後,下列哪些情事,沒有撤銷期限之限制?

  1. aNaturalization was mistakenly approved although the period of residence had been interrupted.居留期間中斷誤許可歸化我國國籍。
  2. bA court's final judgment finds that the marriage was a sham marriage by collusion.經法院確定判決,係通謀虛偽結婚。Correct answer
  3. cNaturalization was mistakenly approved although a police criminal record certificate showed a criminal case record.有警察刑事案件記錄證明之刑事案件紀錄誤許可歸化我國國籍。

Why?

Article 19 of the Nationality Act provides that an approval of naturalization can generally be revoked only within 5 years. However, where a final court judgment finds a sham marriage or sham adoption by collusion, there is no time limit for revocation.

Translated with AI. In the exam the question is in Chinese, as shown above.
