仁愛醫院 Rén'ài yī yuàn
Renai Rd., Sec. 4, No. 10 / 仁愛路4段10號 / Rén'ài Lù Sì Duàn Shí HàoHealth Certificate Exams for visas or other reasons are done at Renai Branch, of the Taipei City Hospital. It is located on Renai Rd. near the Fuxing intersection. If you are walking south on Fuxing (from the MRT for example) the Howard Hotel will be on the right hand side you want to be on the left hand side. If coming by MRT, the nearest station is Zhongxiao-Fuxing Station on the Blue and Brown Lines.
Hours are 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM and 1:30 PM to 4:00 PM on Monday through Friday. They are open 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM on Saturday if you are willing to fight the crowd. Closed on Sundays.
BRING YOUR PASSPORT.
- Bring your passport, at least 3 photos, and about NTD 1000. It will probably take a couple of hours.
- Exams are located on the 2nd floor. Follow the signs for Health Certification. You have to walk by the blood draw area, where you will go later. They will give you the paperwork. Fill out 3 copies and attach 3 photos.
- Go the the 1st floor, counter 11. They will stamp your paperwork and give you a number.
- Go back to where you just came from on the 2nd floor.
- Wait for your number to be called. They will look over your forms, check height, weight, eyes, and blood pressure. They will give you a set of cards to turn in at each exam site.
- Take this back to the 1st floor counter 11, where you received the number.
- Pay the fee, less than NTD 1000. They will give you a card telling you when to return for the results and will stamp each of your other cards which correspond to each of the tests you need to take.
- I had to go to the Dermatology Dept. on the 2nd floor for a skin exam. They give you an area with a curtain to undress then a doctor came in and did a quick visual exam. I didn't have to do this last time. They tried to match female doctors with female examinees.
- Now you need to get a blood test on the 2nd floor, and depending on your exam type such as a JFRV, then you may have to give a stool sample. Just make sure that you come ready to provide a sample should this be necessary. Only a small sample is needed for testing.
- Now go to the 3rd floor get an Xray.
- Now after you have done everything, return your paperwork on the 2nd floor where you had your eye exam.
- The office in this area is where you will return to pick up the results. Remember your passport and receipt.

keep it up
Price has gone UP! about 1700 for a student.
Here's a valuable phone number for the counter where you pick up the exam - can call and check if yours is ready slightly earlier, give the long ID number written on your receipt instead of name. Phone: 02.27093600 ext 5205
thanks for your advice. Your instructions are still pretty accurate.
I did the health check at Ren'ai hospital this month (Feb 2013). It still is located on ren'ai road ;)
I went on a saturday morning, arrived there at 08:45, could walk in directly (ground floor, opposite to the counters) and had everything done completely by 09:45, including X-rays, urine exam, blood test and paying. For the examination, you'll have to go one floor up, but they'll exactly tell you where and what to do, don't worry. Speaking Chinese helps, but isn't necessary. You need your passport, two ID pics, They said I could get the certificate 10 days later and marked the date on the receipt, which you'll have to bring along with your passport when you come back. I didn't try getting it earlier, but at said date, it was ready. You get the certificate in the same room you register in the very beginning. The overall price was below 1100NTD, I think it was 1090NTD, not more, which you have to pay in advance. If you want to take the X-rays with you, you can get a copy on DVD for an extra 200NTD. You don't need the actual X-ray photographs or copies of them nor the CD for Taiwan University (NTU), all they need is the "We took X-rays and didn't find anything harmful" sentence the hospital will automatically put on your certificate.
Get yours today ;-)
Hope I could help.
