Process of Payment: The cost of National Health Insurance (NHI) should be included in the tuition fee every semester. If you are eligible to underwrite an insurance policy under NHI. The cost is TWD 826 each month (according to the fee criteria set by NHI), so payment per semester is TWD 4,956. Newly arrived students can underwrite an NHI insurance policy only when they have received ARC for six months. Thus, they join the group medical insurance instead at a cost of TWD 500 per month.
費用說明：符合健保資格者，全民健康保險（NHI）的費用將併同學雜費繳交。每月費用為新台幣826元（根據健保局規定辦理），故每學期應付金額為新台幣4,956元。新生取得居留證且連續居留六個月後才能承保全民健康保險，故先投保外籍生傷病醫療險，其費用為每月新台幣500元。
