What to prepare
Steps
Confirm that you hold an eligible valid residence document and whether you have a fixed employer.
If employed, confirm enrollment with the employer; if not employed, ask the school about the eligibility date and school process.
If you traveled abroad, use the NHIA rule to check how the residence period is calculated instead of assuming six months have passed.
Save the official result from the school, employer, or NHIA. Never upload an ID number or card to the game.
Every step has its own link, so a single step can be shared.
