Healthcare coverage is of utmost importance. International students should prioritize this matter immediately after completing their university registration.

Three types of insurance may affect you:

International Group Insurance - Applicable for the first semester of new students.

National Health insurance – This takes effect six months after obtaining an Alien Resident Certificate (ARC).

Student Insurance – Available for registered students of National Tsing Hua University.

Issues to consider

New students should enter Taiwan according to the school registration date and the requirements set by the university. If students enter after the registration date, it can result in them facing an uninsured period of 1-2 months between the two insurance policies. Regardless of their current health conditions, if students have any concerns about the uninsured period occurring between the group insurance and the NHI, they should consider purchasing additional insurance from their home country before leaving.
