Insurance & Low-Income Certificate Application

Medical Insurance for Overseas Students

• Overseas students who are not yet eligible for the National Health Insurance (NHI)  must enroll in the International Student Medical Insurance. The Office of International Affairs (OIA) will assist with the enrollment process.

  Note: Since the coverage of the International Student Medical Insurance is limited, we highly recommend that students purchase comprehensive insurance in their home country for enhanced protection. For more details, please refer to the Insurance for Overseas Students section.

Low-income Certificate (Overseas Chinese & HK/Macau Students Only)

• If you hold a “Low-Income Certificate” issued in your home country, please bring the original document with you. The Office of International Affairs (OIA) will assist you in applying for the Financial Aid for Underprivileged Overseas Chinese Students and a 50% National Health Insurance (NHI) subsidy.

Benefits & Purpose:

1. Financial Aid: Apply for financial assistance for underprivileged students.
2. NHI Subsidy: Apply for an NHI premium subsidy provided by the Overseas Community Affairs Council (OCAC).

Note: Students with a valid Low-Income Certificate are eligible for a 50% discount on their NHI premiums. Instead of the full monthly premium of NTD 826, you will only be required to pay NTD 413.

How to apply for the certificate?

The Low-Income Certificate must be officially issued and stamped by a recognized government authority or an official organization in your home country.
