To begin working as a teacher or to re-sign one's contract to continue working, a health check and police background check are required. Please remember to keep receipts for each as you can be reimbursed up to $2000NT for the health & background checks. Background checks can be done at any police station or online by following the link below. Health checks must be done at Mackay Memorial Hospital in Taitung and an appointment is required. Both will require you to bring any relevant documents you have- the more the better (ARC/APRC, Health Card, Passport), the health check requires a 2-inch photo.
