A brief guide on how to apply for participation in the National Health Insurance, Labor Insurance, and Retirement Benefits (Labor Pension) schemes in Taiwan.
For a company with 5 or more employees, you must apply for participation in the National Health Insurance, Labor Insurance, and Retirement Benefits (Labor Pension) schemes. For a company with less than 5 employees, you need only apply for participation in the National Health Insurance and Employment Insurance schemes.
