Taiwan's foreign ministry is bringing its mobile passport and consular service to the outlying Penghu islands for two days in September, good news for residents who normally have to travel to the mainland for paperwork.

• The service runs on the afternoon of September 10 and the morning of September 11 at the Penghu county government hall.
• It is the first time the mobile service has been spread across two days instead of one.
• Demand overwhelmed a single-day visit in May, so officials pushed for extra hours.
• The southern joint service center coordinated with the foreign ministry to add the extra session.

Outlook: If turnout is strong again, longer or more frequent visits to Penghu are likely to follow.
