According to Taiwan government regulations, international students who obtain a valid Alien Resident Certificate (ARC) and have resided in Taiwan for at least six months are required to join the National Health Insurance (NHI). Before meeting the NHI eligibility, students must participate in a Group Medical Insurance (GMI) plan to cover their medical needs during the initial stay in Taiwan.
Definition of six-month residence: Students must have continuously resided in Taiwan for six months after entering the country and obtaining their ARC. If the student leaves Taiwan once during this period and the absence does not exceed 30 days, the remaining days after deduction can still be counted toward the six-month period.
The NHI premium will be included in the tuition and miscellaneous fees at the beginning of each semester.
Monthly Premium: NT$826
Total per Semester: NT$4,956 (paid for six months)
Semester Periods: First semester (September to February), Second semester (March to August). New students must meet both the ARC requirement and six-month residence condition before joining the NHI.
🔹 New students not covered by other insurance:
🔹 Students currently insured elsewhere but wish to switch to university-managed NHI:
🔹 Students already insured elsewhere and do not wish to switch:
🔸 Taking a leave of absence, withdrawing, graduating, transferring, or starting work:
🔸 Transferring to another school or institution:
If your NHI card is lost, damaged, has outdated photos, or your personal information changes, please visit the National Health Insurance Administration (NHIA) to apply for a replacement card.
Processing Fee: NT$200, and a completed application form is required.
