We've had more than one discussion on whether the flood of edits is acceptable.
Mods have been flagged about it and it's even come up with discussion with mods from other sites, and the general consensus has been to come up with a community view on this.
So in an attempt to obtain this, let's g...
@MarkMayo Is it worth clarifying that we're talking about edits to old questions (if that's what we're talking about), not the standard initial cleanup and tagging of new questions?
I don't know much about visas being able to virtually go everywhere visa-free for 90 days or more, but I am in a situation where I might want to get a visa. I'm curious, however, if it's a good idea to open yourself up to investigation and possibly getting turned down on a technicality, making future travel more complicated.
I wanna ask if it's worth getting a visa for a stay that is planned to be close to 90 days, where 90 days otherwise would be visa-exempt, and there is no problem financially in going out and back in to the country to extend the stay.
The country is Taiwan. I have very strong personal ties there (wife), and especially for the period I want to go there (birth of my son). But I also have a full-time job in Japan, where I am living now.
I think it could make a good question, but I suspect some people would declare it opinion-based and want to close it
since nobody can really say whether you're likely to get a visa or not
some countries are pretty tolerant of visa runs, where you can leave and come back in a day and get another 90 days visa-free. others less so. asking how Taiwan treats that situation would be useful information for you
@JoErNanO I was concerned about flying there with a return ticket that would be close to the 90-day mark. Would that raise a flag somewhere maybe...? Dunno.
I am very sorry but the only thing I know about Taiwan is that half the things in my apartment are made there. (Yes, my apartment looks like a computer shop after a bomb exploded.)
I am planning on going to Taiwan for close to 90-days, a period I am eligible for visa-free entry for. Would it be OK (or possible), for me to temporarily fly out of Taiwan just to get another 90-days, as necessary, e.g. do a visa run?
@AmaniKilumanga might be worth mentioning that it's to visit your Taiwanese wife for the birth of your son. it may make no difference, but sometimes immigration rules get weird around family ties like that
I fear I may have broken @MarkMayo's poll and his goal of coming to some kind of conclusion a little bit by promoting an answer that boils down to "let's keep having this discussion all the time and every time someone wants to edit something"
@pnuts I am at your service. I will start with the tags when I learn how it works. I will also try to go over the Meta and try to bring closure to some of the topics.
First thing I see when looking to chat is two new names underlined in blue: @JonathanReez @JoErNanO congratulations. I have no doubt you will be committed and fair mods to Travel SE. Thank you to all the other candidates @Dorothy @RoryAlsop @cnst and Joel who can't be tagged, my hope is that running has motivated to be even more active on here, because one does not need to be a mod to make great contributions on here.
