Calculation of the NHI Enrollment Date

For those entering Taiwan with a Resident Visa, the date of entry is considered the start of the residency period. For those holding a Visitor Visa or Entry Permit, the date of issuance of the residence permit is considered the start of the residency period.

  • If the person does not leave Taiwan after entry: Residency start date + 6 months.
  • If the person leaves Taiwan once for fewer than 30 days: Residency start date + 6 months + number of days abroad.
  • If the person leaves Taiwan once for more than 30 days: The residency start date will be recalculated, with the most recent entry date considered the new residency start date, and the calculation will follow the rules mentioned in (1) and (2).
  • For multiple entries and exits: The residency start date will be recalculated, taking the most recent entry date as the start of the residency period, then adding 6 months plus the number of days spent abroad.

The NHI premiums and coverage mentioned above are subject to the latest announcements on the National Health Insurance Administration (NHIA) website.
