Anomaly: Jinmen and Mazu. The Taiwan Relations Act defines “Taiwan” as consisting of the island of Taiwan and the Pescadores (Penghu). This U.S. statutory definition of Taiwan omits mention of the Taiwan-held Fujianese islands of Jinmen (Kinmen, Quemoy) and Mazu (Matsu). It therefore appears that AIT officers are not authorized under the TRA or 1997 designations by the Secretary and A/S to perform notarial acts or to execute U.S. passport or visa laws on the islands of Jinmen or Mazu, and that U.S. citizens born there cannot elect “Taiwan” as the place of birth on their passports.Kaohsiung (BO)Jiayi, Tainan, Kaohsiung, Pingdong, Taidong, PenghuThailandBangkok (E)The rest of ThailandChiang Mai (CG)Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Kamphaengphet, Lampang, Lamphun, Mae Hong Son, Nan, Petchabun, Phayao, Phichit, Phitsanulok, Phrae, Sukhothai, Tak, and UttaraditTimor-LesteDili (E)ACS only; Timorese seeking visas must go to U.S. Embassy Jakarta.VietnamHanoi (E)Quang Tri and all points northward.Ho Chi Minh City (CG)Thua Thien Hue and all points southward.
