Foreign nationals who meet NHI regulations and
residency requirements must also be insured under the system.
Those hired by local employers are covered from the day their
employment contract takes effect, while others must enroll in
the systemafter meeting the six-month residency requirement.
Under the second-generation system, Taiwanese nationals
who have lived abroad for an extended period of time must
have participated in the system during the previous two years
or have established residency in Taiwan for at least six months
to be eligible to re-enroll in the program. For the sake of social
justice, foreign nationals must also have resided in Taiwan for
at least sixmonths before they can enroll in the system.
Taiwanese nationals who were previously enrolled in
the NHI system but lost their eligibility by establishing their
residency abroad prior to the introduction of the second-
generation system are allowed to have their eligibility restored
without being subject to a waiting period if they re-establish
residency in Taiwan within one year from the time the second-
generationNHI system took effect.
