Content: Article 1
The operation of national non-public use land used for providing the right of passage for inaccessible land shall be carried out by each branch of the National Property Administration (hereinafter referred to as the executive agency) according to these rules.

Article 2
The "inaccessible land" mentioned in these rules refers to the land not fit for ordinary use because there is no suitable access to a public road not caused by the arbitrary behavior of its landowner; or there is road access but it is not suitable, does not meet the basic requirement of construction, or the access is difficult, so it cannot be used for normal purposes.

Article 3
Applicants who can apply for the right of passage through the national non-public use land are holders of the right to use the inaccessible land, including the owner, the holder of superficies, the holder of an agricultural right, the holder of easement on the real estate, the holder of lien right, the lessee and holders of other rights to use the land, but excluding trustee and landscaping adopters of national inaccessible land.

Article 4
If a transfer of a part of a piece of land or of the division of a piece of land prevents suitable access to the public road or if a piece of land has no suitable access to the public road and becomes unfit for ordinary use after the owner of many pieces of land has transferred some of the lands or simultaneously transferred all lands to others, the relevant implementation shall be carried out according to where Article 789 of the Civil Law Regulations apply.

Article 5
Unless the plan, uses, or disposition method for the national non-public land has been approved, the administrative agency may review the relevant location, topography, and uses of the land, and select the place and method that will cause the least damage to determine the passable area.
When an application for the right to pass through certain national non-public use land is under review and there is an application for purchase of the land, the latter shall be reviewed and handled first. Other applications aimed at the same target will be reviewed and handled in the order received.

Article 6
If the selected land for passage has already been used or is shared land, it shall be handled according to the following provisions:
1. There are other holders of the right to use the land: unless the national land is used by others for access, managed by trustees, or used by adopters for landscaping, the applicant should obtain written consent of the owner with the right to use the land to apply for passage.
2. Applicant's occupation: The applicant shall remove any objects on the land unrelated to passage.
3. Occupation by others: If the land is in an area indigenous people have applied for as an aboriginal reservation, the applicant shall obtain the occupier's written consent to apply for passage. As for the remaining land, the applicant shall make a commitment to remove any obstacles by signing an affidavit.
4. Shared land not managed separately: When the administrative agency consents to the holder of the right to use the passage, the person shall be required to obtain the consent of other co-owners.
Applicants who need to obtain written consent to apply for the right of passage according to the provisions of the preceding paragraph, the administrative agency may provide the personal data of the original holder of the right of use or occupier if necessary, and inform the applicant that the use of personal data shall comply with the provisions of the Personal Data Protection Law. Any violator shall be punished and liable for damages according to the same law and shall also inform the original holder of the right of use or the occupier.

2. Applicants shall be responsible for any damage to others or the rights and interests of the administrative agency caused by passage through or installation of relevant facilities.
3. When passage has been occupied or obstructed, if it is in the area indigenous people have applied for as an aboriginal reservation, the applicant shall obtain the occupier's written consent to apply for the passage. As for the remaining land, the applicant shall handle the removal of the obstruction by themselves.
4. Applicants who need to install passage-related facilities on national land shall first obtain the consent of the authority in charge of the business concerned and the administrative agency. The applicant is responsible for the installation costs, construction safety, and maintenance management.
5. When an applicant applies for the early return of national land, the relevant facilities shall be removed on schedule according to the notification of the administrative agency and the national land shall be returned in its original condition, unless the administrative agency agrees to retain them and the applicant donates them to the government.

As for the installment payment that has not been paid, the applicant shall, together with the transferee of the ownership or right of use, apply to change the name of the holder of the right of passage and the method for installment payment, or the two parties agree that one of the parties shall pay off the charge in one lump sum without objection.

In the case of applying for the designation of a construction line, if it is no longer necessary to use the passage area for the designation as a construction line, because the construction license has not been obtained, changed, withdrawn, or cancelled after the designation of the construction line is completed, the prepaid charge for the period from the day the application is submitted to the end of the term shall be refunded with no interest.
