After Graduation: What to Know
More about NHI after graduation
- If you're working in Taiwan: your employer arranges your NHI coverage.
- If you don't have a job yet: bring your ARC (or ID card) to the township/city/district office where you're registered, or to a regional NHI service center, to enroll.
- If you're leaving Taiwan for more than 6 months: apply for NHI suspension with your flight itinerary. This way you won't pay premiums while abroad or be charged retroactively when you return.
Want to Stay in Taiwan? Visa Options
🔍 I want to stay in Taiwan to look for a job
Since January 1, 2026, international and overseas Chinese students with an Associate Degree or higher from Taiwan can apply for a "Stay for Job Seeking" residency extension. Once it's approved:
- No work permit needed: during the extension (up to 2 years), you don't need a work permit from the Ministry of Labor.
- Flexible work: you can take full-time, part-time, internship, or freelance jobs.
- Length: granted for 1 year and renewable once, for 2 years in total.
- APRC: your time studying in Taiwan now counts toward the residency requirement for an Alien Permanent Resident Certificate.

💼 I found a job. How do I change to a work visa?
Most of our graduates apply under the "New Scoring Criteria for Foreign and Overseas Chinese Students to Work in Taiwan." See the Ministry of Labor's website for details, and ask the HR department of the company that hired you for help.
🧑💻 I want to stay for an internship
Apply to the Ministry of Education. Prepare all required documents and submit them to NTHU's Office of Global Affairs (OGA) within the application period. Please ask OGA for details.

FAQ

What is the last day to complete the Clearance procedures?
The start of the new semester (September 2027).
What happens to my visa after I finish clearance?
Once you receive your diploma you're no longer a student and have no grounds to stay. You need to leave Taiwan within 14 days or change your visa. See Visa Options.
If I leave Taiwan, can I come back?
If you leave before changing your visa and no longer hold a student visa, you'll need to apply for a new visa to come back.
Can I stay in the summer dorm after graduation?
No. You must move out within 7 days of completing the Clearance procedures.
Will the university remove me from NHI after clearance?
Yes. You'll be removed at the end of that month and will need to pay the premium yourself. See After Graduation for what to do next.
