・General households (second and subsequent claims): up to NT$60,000

   How to apply

After government review, you will be notified by post and the subsidy transferred to your designated account

If one spouse holds R.O.C. nationality, the wife is under 45, and you have been trying to conceive without contraception for over a year without success — or a doctor has determined that IVF is needed — you are welcome to apply for the government's IVF (Assisted Reproductive Technology) Subsidy Programme through a designated medical institution.
