▍Insurance

Foreigners are not able to join the National Health Insurance (NHI) in Taiwan until they satisfy certain requirements (NHI information comes below). If they see a doctor, they need to pay full fees; therefore, students are advised to take their own overseas insurance in their home country, which will cover their medical expenses in Taiwan.
