“Bona fide residence test” – this is established by having a home there or illustrating that you have settled there with some sort of permanence:
- bank acct
- phone bill
- cell phone bills
- utility bill if that’s in your name
“Physical Presence Test” – were you physically in a foreign country for 330 days in a consecutive 12 month period
So you still fill in your 1040 form (typical tax filing form) found here: http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1040.pdf
but you also attach the 2555-EZ form found here: http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f2555ez.pdf

“I have been teaching in Keelung, Taiwan for over 1 year now, and plan to stay at least another. Footprints Recruiting was an invaluable service for me, assisting in many ways to ensure I had a smooth transition. Without their support, moving to Taiwan would have been much more difficult, and my experience much less enjoyable. I have, of course, become friends with other teachers, both in my school and elsewhere, who did not come via Footprints Recruiting. Many had encountered problems, such as teaching at an unprofessional school, visa problems, housing problems, etc. I am grateful I never had any such difficulties. My experience in Taiwan has been wonderful.”
