I’ve heard that Taiwan’s NHI is doing away with the whole 覆保 停保 thing for citizens who visit the country. Apparently if my understanding is correct now citizens will have to keep paying while they’re overseas for as long as they retain huji.
Does anyone have any idea what this means for foreigners with APRCs?
I’m resident overseas and in the past I got royally shafted by the restoration of my health insurance (long story short, I entered Taiwan and tried to cancel my insurance before departure, but the authorities didn’t have a record of my insurance being reactivated for me to cancel it. A year later I revisited and they decided to charge me for the entire year plus three months) and I’m somewhat concerned that the next time I go back I will have my health insurance reactivated, with no way to switch it off because I don’t have huji in the first place.
Anybody know anything about this?
