The Employment Gold Card Super-Thread

@Bimmerjeff

You did say you could “pay for NHI yourself as self-employed”.

I think he maybe has that option because he was already in NHI by his previous employment. He can change his status.

@Bimmerjeff

do you know the monthly cost per person? I have read here before that the cost share for employees is about $27USD a month, but I assume it is more if you are “self employed”?

you can check here. Contribution of employees is 30%, but if you are self-employed, it is 100%.

Edit:
I found “Self-employed Independent professionals and technical specialists” in Category 1 are people with official certificates. Self employed individuals may be “other individual” in Category 6, unless they are certified specialists (Category 1) or belong to some unions(Category 2).
