The National Health Insurance Act stipulates that foreign nationals with a valid Alien Resident Certificate or Taiwan Area Resident Certificate ( including those from Hong Kong, Macau, and China) must be registered in the National Health Insurance program upon living in Taiwan for 6 months. Once you are qualified to join the NHI, OIA will inform you by email. If you have already joined the NHI program, please inform the OIA beforehand. The NHI fee will be included on the tuition fees invoice every semester. For more information, please visit National Health Insurance Administration, Ministry of Health and Welfare.
