Insurance Cases Having no NHI NHI was cancelled due to changing VISA Didn’t pay on time Foreigners, who lost their residence status because they no longer hold a valid ARC or because they are not returning to Taiwan, will also lose their right to participate in the NHI program.  Student A suffered a brain concussion due to a car accident.
