Health insurance foreign dependent: A foreign family member can be recognized as a workplace subscriber’s dependent only when the applicable dependency, income, property, residence and documentation requirements are met.
Korean health insurance foreign dependent: What you will finish
You will confirm eligibility first, complete subscriber and dependent identity, relationship, acquisition date/reason, nationality, visa and stay period, attach only required proof and verify the result.
Korean health insurance foreign dependent: This guide explains the report and evidence workflow. Family relationship alone does not guarantee recognition, and foreign-issued document rules can differ by issuing country and document.
Health insurance foreign dependent: preview, download and official source
Official Form 1 is a two-page landscape report for both acquisition and loss. This episode focuses on acquiring dependent status for a foreign family member and uses the instructions on page two.
Review the eight form fields
How to read the dependent-status report
- Workplace: enter the management number, legal workplace name and phone; confirm whether the workplace or subscriber will file.
- Subscriber: copy the workplace subscriber’s legal name, resident/alien/domestic-residence number and current phone.
- Relationship and dependent name: use the relationship recognized by the form and the passport/residence-card spelling; do not translate a name informally.
- Dependent identification: enter the resident, alien-registration or domestic-residence-report number that applies.
- Acquisition date and reason code: confirm the legally effective date and use the form’s current code; do not assume it is the application date.
- Foreign-national fields: copy nationality and visa status from the residence card and confirm the stay-period convention with NHIS.
- Attachments: provide family-relationship and foreigner identity records only as required; ask about translation, Apostille/consular confirmation, validity and originals before paying.
- Declaration and result: date and sign, submit through the workplace or NHIS as accepted, then verify acquisition date/status rather than relying on delivery alone.
Example only — do not submit: Dedi S. first confirms his spouse meets relationship, income and property criteria, copies workplace/subscriber details, uses the spouse’s passport and residence-card identity. The example then confirms the acquisition date/code with NHIS, enters nationality, visa and stay period, and attaches only the relationship/identity records NHIS cannot verify. He dates, signs and checks the processed status. Replace every detail with verified facts.
