Hi all hoping to get some insight from anyone familiar with this

I hold both US and Taiwan citizenship and completed my household registration in 2024 but never signed up for National Health Insurance or applied for the card

I will be visiting Taiwan next month for about a week and I am unsure how this situation is handled

Main questions are whether there are any unpaid premiums or penalties even if I never enrolled and whether I am expected to register for NHI during a short stay or if it can remain inactive

I am also wondering if anything comes up at immigration related to this or if it is not checked

Separately I have seen conflicting info about military service obligations for dual citizens so I am not sure if a short trip has any impact or if there are rules I should prepare for ahead of time

If anyone has gone through something similar I would really appreciate hearing what you did and what to expect

TLDR:
Dual citizen US Taiwan activated household registration in 2024 but never joined NHI planning a short visit soon trying to understand if there are any fees obligations or conscription issues to be aware of

Hey everyone looking for some clarity from people who have dealt with this before

I am a dual US Taiwan citizen and I got my household registration activated in 2024 but I never enrolled in National Health Insurance or got the health card

I am planning to go back to Taiwan next month but only for about a week

I am trying to figure out if I owe any back payments or penalties since I never enrolled and if I go back for a short trip do I need to sign up right away or can I just leave it inactive

Also what actually happens when you enter Taiwan in this situation is anything flagged or checked

I have also heard mixed things about military conscription for dual citizens so I am not sure if a short visit triggers anything or if there are specific rules I should know before going

Would really appreciate any firsthand experiences or advice on what to do before I go or while I am there

TLDR:
Dual US Taiwan citizen got HHR in 2024 but never enrolled in NHI. Going back to Taiwan for a week soon. Do I owe back payments do I need to enroll right away and will anything be flagged at entry. Also unsure how military conscription applies for a short visit.
