Your general health checkup is free
The day we opened the government source and matched the numbers. This is not a labor attorney's review.
Employee subscribers of national health insurance who work on E-9 or H-2 are eligible for national health checkups. You still need to check your actual enrollment status and whether you are eligible that year.
| Who | How often |
|---|---|
| Employee subscribers not in office jobs | 1 time every 1 year |
| Employee subscribers in office jobs | 1 time every 2 years |
The general checkup is free
Vaccinations for your children
The age for national immunization support differs by vaccine. For influenza in the 2026–2027 season, children from 6 months to 14 years old are eligible. Support applies only at designated clinics or public health centers. Ask your public health center about conditions for foreign children.

Rules change often, and the same rule applies differently to different people. Check your own case with 1350 (Ministry of Employment and Labor customer center). Its phone counseling in foreign languages is in English and Chinese. For your own language, ask 1345 (Immigration Contact Center).
