Background and Regulation: Regulations Regarding International Students Undertaking Studies in Taiwan

When a new international student registers, they shall submit proof of being covered by a medical and injury insurance policy which is valid for at least six months from the date that they entered Taiwan. Current students shall present documentary proof that they have joined Taiwan's National Health Insurance Plan. If the proof of insurance referred to in the previous paragraph was issued in a foreign country it shall be authenticated by an overseas mission.

To meet the requirements of the above regulations and avoid all the inconvenience caused by the process of authentication, you may choose to participate in the International Students Group Medical Insurance offered by Cathay Life Insurance Co. through Chang Gung University. This insurance plan will provide basic insurance coverage (illness & accident) during the first 6 months of your stay in Taiwan. Before the second semester starts, the Office of International Affairs will check whether you are eligible with the Bureau of National Health Insurance. If you are eligible, CGU must register for you.  

The premium is a one-time payment and paid with the tuition fee at the beginning of the semester. The premium is NT$3000 per semester/per student.

Please let us know if you would like to underwrite this insurance plan through CGU or use your own insurance.
