# National Health Insurance (NHI)
After your first arrival in Taiwan, you need to stay in Taiwan for more than six months continuously. Within six months, you can only go abroad for only once and less than 30 days. If you go abroad for more than 30 days or more than two times, the date you enroll in NHI will be recounted.
More explanation:
First arrive in Taiwan: Sept. 10 + 6 months (stay in Taiwan for more than 6 months continuously)
= Mar. 10 (the date you join NHI)
Use Cathay Insurance instead from Sept. 10 to Mar.9.
Example 1:
Going abroad between Sept. 10 and Mar. 10 for 5 days, then the date you join NHI is Mar. 15.
(Mar.10+5 days)
Use Cathay Insurance from Sept. 10 to Mar. 14.
Example 2:
Going abroad between Sept. 10 and Mar. 10 for 30 days, from Nov. 1 to Nov.30.
Nov. 30 + 6 months (must stay in Taiwan continuously) = May 30 (the date you join NHI)
Use Cathay Insurance from Sept. 10 to May 29.
Example 3:
Going abroad from Sept. 10 to Mar. 10 for 6 days, from Oct. 1 to Oct.6. And going abroad again from Dec. 15 to Dec. 25.
Dec. 25+6 months (must stay in Taiwan continuously)= Jun. 25 (the date you join NHI)
Use Cathay Insurance from Sept. 10 to Jun. 24.
