The Mask Rationing Plan
Q: How foreign residents can buy masks in Taiwan?
A: The government has announced that legal foreign residents in Taiwan holding Alien Residence Certificates (ARC) or Alien Permanent Residence Certificates (APRCs) can purchase surgical masks at designated pharmacies by presenting their ARC/APRC cards.
Starting April 9, with the new rationing system,
- adults will be able to purchase 9 masks every 14 days by presenting their National Health Insurance (NHI) IDs at designated pharmacies and health centers. Children, age 13 and younger, will also be allowed to buy 10 masks every 14 days.
- No restrictions on IDs that end in even or odd numbers.
