Verify the doctor — before you book
Not yet sourcedThe official physician-license registry for Taiwan is being sourced — every country page gets one.
Hospitals name your doctor when they quote — run that name through the registry. We cite the official body only, never rank individuals.

Taiwan for medical travel — safety, recourse & visa
Sourced Full Taiwan guide →What matters if it goes wrong, and what it takes to get there — country-level, verifiable guidance in one place.
- Visa
- Tiered visa-free entry by nationality (Bureau of Consular Affairs, BOCA): 90 days for ~57 countries (most of the EU, US, UK, Japan, South Korea, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Israel and others); 30 days for Malaysia, Singapore and several Caribbean/Central American states; 14 days for Oman; a running trial 14-day visa-free scheme for Thailand, Brunei and the Philippines (through 2027-07-31). All other nationalities require a visa. British and Canadian nationals can extend their 90-day visa-free stay by a further 90 days (max 180 days total). Confirm your nationality's current rule before travelling.
- Medical / long-stay visa
- Taiwan has a DEDICATED short-term medical-treatment stay-visa ('外籍人士來台短期就醫申請停留簽證', BOCA's foreign-nationals stay-visa category #13), distinct from tourism/business visas — a materially stronger, more explicit medical-visa regime than Turkey's (which has none). Eligibility is gated on two conditions: the treated condition must be on MOHW's published list of diseases eligible for foreign/PRC-resident treatment in Taiwan, and treatment must be at one of MOHW's published 'International Medical Service Internationalization' member institutions (mostly in Taipei). Requirements: proof of funds or a payment agreement with the Taiwan institution, a diagnosis certificate from a foreign hospital, a treatment plan from the Taiwan institution, and a round-trip ticket. Up to 2 accompanying persons are allowed (spouse/relative within the 3rd degree, or 2 home-country medical staff); emergency medical visas can be filed directly by the Taiwan medical institution with BOCA.

- Consultation fee· NHIA (全民健康保險) fee schedule item 00154A '一般門診診察費－醫院門診診察費（不含牙科門診）１．醫學中心及區域醫院（處方交付特約藥局調劑）' (general outpatient consultation fee, medical-center/regional-hospital tier) = 286 points — the schedule has no per-specialty consult line, so this single official base outpatient-exam fee applies to every specialty. NHI point value floats — settled quarterly per sector, not a fixed 1:1 NTD rate, historically ≈0.9–1.0 NTD/point — so consult_min = round(286×0.9) = 257, consult_max = 286 (nominal 1:1 ceiling). ✓ Verified
