From July 17th 1999, foreigners with an Alien Resident Certificate (ARC) who have resided in Taiwan for more than four months are required to enroll in the National Health Insurance (NHI) Program immediately.
Foreigners, losing their residence status because they no longer hold a valid ARC or because they are not returning back to Taiwan, will also lose their rights to participate in the NHI program. They must withdraw their subscription to the NHI Program through their group insurance applicants (their employers or local administration offices) and then return their NHI card to their applicants and pay up the premiums in full before leaving Taiwan.
When returning to Taiwan with a valid ARC after traveling overseas for a short period of time on business or vacation, foreigners must remain enrolled in the NHI program.
For more information, Please check Bureau of National Health Insurance.
