National Health Insurance while unemployed

Hey Steve,

I did the same thing after I got my APRC. Just go to the NHI office by taipei main station (I think it’s the fifth floor), tell them you don’t have a job and then wait around for about half an hour while everyone talks to each other to figure out what to do with you :laughing:
After that, they’ll tell you to go home and wait for your bills, which you can pay at the 7-11 just like anything else. I was charged $749 a month, although the first month was twice that because I didn’t change things over as soon as I left my job. It’s actually a pretty easy and painless process.
