【Exchange Student】Insurance and Health Exam Requirement in NTU

NTU Insurance Policy

You are requested to purchase your own insurance in your home country before entering Taiwan.

Please provide a proof of accident and medical insurance which worth a minimum of TWD 1,000,000 (approx. USD 34,000) for each and valid for the entire exchange period.

If you hold an Alien Residence Card (ARC) and have met the six-month minimum residency requirement, you can choose to join the National Health Insurance (NHI) with limited coverage.

NTU Health Exam Policy

To meet NTU and government requirements, all new students must take a health exam by a qualified doctor and complete each examination listed on the NTU Incoming Exchange/Visiting Students Health Exam Form. You can complete it one of the following ways：

1. Do it in your home country
2. Do it in Taiwan: If you can’t do the health exam in your home country, you can take the exam at NTU Hospital (instructions) once you arrive in Taiwan and submit the report on the registration day.

Please note

If you need to change to a Resident Visa, be aware that you will have to take the health exam for the Resident Visa in a Ministry-designated hospital, in which NTU Hospital is not included. You can also take both the Resident Visa and NTU Health Exam forms at a designated hospital and ask them to fill out the results on both forms. As it takes 5–7 days for the health exam results, students who take the exam in Taiwan and cannot receive the report by registration day should sign an agreement to submit the health exam form within two weeks.
