National Pension fund + married

Hello,

my wife got a letter (I’m here based on a Foreign Spouse visa) to pay 674 (each month) to the BLI (Bureau of Labour Insurrance) for the National Pension fund. Its 674 / month. They write if she doesn’t pay up we get fined 3000 at the end of the year :slight_smile:

Question is does she have to pay it or isn’t she somewhat already covered by me (I work in a big sized company).

Regardless of what private arrangements you have all ROC nationals are required by law to pay to the pension fund.

I pay even though I have private coverage as well.

you have to pay…and then if your wife will leave Taiwan forever, she can require refund.
