|
|
Hi there,
Anybody got any info on pet insurance (i.e. companies to go with) in Romania? I've got a kitty who I'm afraid is about to be diagnosed with some sort of condition (possibly thrombophilia, but it's a long, not as yet concluded, story) so I'd like to get her on an insurance plan to help with possible long term costs of testing and care.
Any info greatly appreciated!!! |

Thanks Mike, that's very helpful, I will check those out.
Just one quick question though, is home insurance now obligatory even if you're just renting? Do you know which gov dept decided that (just so I can let my employers know to check out the new rules, so they can start telling my colleagues/new colleagues). |

Hi,
The law came into effect on the 15th July and apparently they'll start fining people from the 5th August. I wouldn't panic too much at the moment as only about 20% of people have bothered to do it. Anyway, it's not expensive at 20 Euro per year. I'm 99% certain that renters don't pay it, the landlord has to, so you're probably ok if that's the case. If you have any expat colleagues/friends who own their homes, you might want to inform them though.
The law is 260/2008 and you can see it here (in Romanian):

Thanks Mike, I rent so I should be ok, although I'm going to be looking into it anyway so that I can get some pet insurance!
I'll inform friends and colleagues who own, and get the link to my employers so they can start informing new employees as a matter of course.
I really really appreciate your help with this! You're a star! Thank you!!! |
