Re: Travel insurance for the elderly.

Try Top Quotes, Chlorakas. They arranged my travel insurance. As no doubt you know insurance premiums for senior citizens are loaded specially for travel to USA, but a lot depends on your state of health and any pr- existing health conditions.

Re: COVID RESTRICTIONS

I had an appointment at St George's last week. I rang the specialists secretary to enquire. No test required she said. But they like you to wear a mask. Seems as if different hospitals have different rules.

Re: Biometric Card - 2026

Fishbeardsunset, it sounds as if you, having arrived after the UK's Brexit agreement, have come here under different terms to many of us who have been living here previously ( before Brexit) as EU citizens. If this is so then the subject being talked about on this post may not apply to you.

Re: Biometric Card - 2026

Has anyone noticed that since Brexit, our status as EU citizens is past? We have become 3rd world citizens. Thus every time one needs to go to a Govt office, procedures to upgrade any document have become more complicated? As I do sometimes want to travel to other EU countries its worth keeping up w...

Re: NHS cover on visit to UK

Polemi Ian,
I DID initially ask the Citizens service centre about getting this card, the reply was we don't issue these to British Citizens. I was told to apply to the UK.

I resent your other quite un necessary remark.

Re: ETIAS timeline

I think that an MUKW1, like the MEU1 before it, is only supposed to last for 5yrs. What you should do now is to Apply for the MUKW3 - which lasts for 10yrs.... Like you I am not clear whether the MUKW3 will be accepted at all EU borders, once UK residents are required to obtain ETIAS visas. Wonder i...

Re: Tsada/Olympus Village

Even if you don't actually use spell checker, my tablet seems to have a type of predicted text- (which unfortunately I don't know how to disable). This can change a word in a sentence so as to change the meaning which I had intended. Very annoying.

Actually as someone who has used Gwenny's over the years, I can only say that some people don't mind putting in the leg work and don't mind hanging about in immigration, do it themselves.

Re: NHS cover on visit to UK

However, to actually get it, you may be asked to,provide a UK address, when your application has arrived in the UK. Since Brexit some procedures have changed.
