National Health Insurance (NHI) Continuation after Graduation
A. Withdraw NHI from TNUA
After graduation, we will transfer your health insurance and process a refund for the health insurance premium (if you meet the refund eligibility criteria). The refund will be deposited into your account, and the refund processing will take 30 days. Please do not close your account before this period.
B. Continue your NHI while staying in Taiwan
If you plan to stay in Taiwan to seek employment or for other purposes, you can maintain NHI coverage for a monthly fee of NTD 826, payable to the district administrative office of your residence. You will no longer have NHI coverage once your ARC expires or is revoked.
C. Leave Taiwan after Graduation
if leaving Taiwan without extending your ARC is your situation, it's advisable to retain your NHI card for future use, especially if you may return for further study or work. Note that if your NHI card is lost, you will need to pay a new card production fee of NT$200 when requesting a replacement.
