Do you buy insurance when travelling to US for fun? Moved to Europe recently and this will be my first time back in US without employer health insurance - should I buy travel insurance? Where from? Thanks!

I would… just saw a GoFundMe for a guy who unfortunately had a stroke whilst on holidays in NYC and now has like €150k in hospital bills ( he had insurance but it only covered a maximum of €30k so be mindful of this when choosing your insurance policy)

Yeah I don’t expect to need it, just want to exactly that kind of situation! You almost don’t need insurance in Europe but US health system is a scary place 🥺

Generally I make sure that I have a quality travel health insurance on absolutely any trip I make.

There are plenty of search engines that will help you to find an option. If you are looking for larger names ( like Alliance, AXA) you will be on the safe side. Naturally there are always local players which provide great service at typically lower prices but that depends on the country of your location, hence I cannot advise without knowing that

Ok will just Google it (just wanted to avoid ending up with the policy with highest marketing budget, and ideally go with one that’s been tried & tested). I’m based in France / Belgium.

Hello Fishes,

Any idea when we get relieving letter/service certificate from TCS?

My LWD was 16th September and I received FNF 10 days before. Also got initial release letter on my LWD.

I see so many issues in this organisation.
When I joined TCS after 5 days of joining they used to mail me every week for 5 continuous weeks and asked me every time for previous organisation relieving letter.
But they themselves don’t share it and delay a lot.


Anyone please advise.
