The NTU ID
Please contact your college or department to apply for an NTU ID.
The ID will give you access to your department building, NTU libraries and gym. It will also serve as an EasyCard, making you save on MRT and bus trips.
Card-making may take 5~10 working days. We encourage you to apply for the NTU ID early so that you can use it as soon as you arrive.
Health Insurance
【You have an ARC】
The National Health Insurance (NHI) is Taiwan’s official medical insurance operated by the Bureau of National Health Insurance in the Executive Yuan’s Department of Health. Taiwan residents must register for the NHI. Scholars who hold an ARC must enroll in the National Health Insurance (NHI).
For sholars who don’t posses an ARC, you are only eligible for private insurance. If you have need for private insurance, contact us via intlscholar@ntu.edu.tw
How to apply for the NHI
If you have an ARC but do not have a fixed employer nor family members with whom dependency can be claimed, you must, after a continuous residence within Taiawn for six months, enroll through the local administration offices of your residence.
To receive your NHI Card, simply send your application form and legal ID to local NHI offices via mail or file your application at the nearest NHI office.
If your NHI Card is lost, bring your ARC to the nearest NHI office to apply for a replacement card. A processing fee may be charged.
For detailed information on National Health Insurance (NHI), visit the website of Bureau of National Health Insurance.
