Really when traveling in EU countries it is wise to check beforehand and stick to the rules! Cyprus residents will need the MUKW3 form in due course. It is also far more convenient, as being credit card size it fits easily in your wallet. Also it is much harder to forge being plastic not paper. It ...

We spoke to the officer on the ship, responsible for customs and immigration formalities, who said that the Greek customs officials came onboard and examined all the passports and where necessary stamped them. We were shown our passports duly stamped. Issue resolved. Whilst I had her attention I ask...

The greek authorities were quite right to stamp your passports... this has nothing to do with Schengen. Your residence status in Cyprus only applies to Cyprus. If you travel to any other EU state you are treated like any other UK citizen and will thus be stamped in and out. Just like any other UK c...

Yesterday we flew from Cyprus to Athens. At Athens airport the authorities insisted that they stamp our British passports, which they did, explaining that we Brits were now outside the EU. We told them that we were permanent residents of Cyprus and showed them our MEU3 documents but they wouldn’t h...

Great,so how does an old fart like me go on who is not into this hi tec :( is this not age discrimination :? ) If you are savvy enough to post to this website you must be savvy enough to use a mobile phone. Age should be no barrier. Yesterday I used the 9191 text for the first time in the main car ...

This is the official EU website for ETIAS which explains it all. https://travel-europe.europa.eu/etias_en The most relevant bit for the majority of Brits in Cyprus is: UK nationals and their family members who are beneficiaries of the Withdrawal Agreement are exempt from ETIAS: they may reside on th...

Would like to get in touch with Gwenny.

Does anyone have Gwenny's telephone number?

And where is her office?

Many thanks in advance.

My old UK EHIC cards have expired.

Can I request new EHIC cards from Cyprus as I'm a permanent MEU3 resident ?

If so, what is the procedure.

Thanking you in advance.

Dominic,

What was the music as it was really nice ?

A few months ago I had a text from the Hellenic Bank which I was suspicious of.

So I rang their call centre and they confirmed that it was genuine.

Do the same, ring your bank.

Also in Kamares moments ago

Does anyone know what the official Sterling to Euro Exchange Rate is for 2021 Tax Returns ?

Thanks in advance.

My UK state pension arrived in the Hellenic yesterday.

Robins are regular winter visitors to Cyprus every year.

We have two or three around our house protecting their territory with their unmistakeable clicking.

They come from Russia.

It is understood that the UK Government are preparing plans to introduce a mandatory requirement to hold a licence to buy or use a stepladder because of the increasing number of household accidents taking up valuable bed space and attention in A&E in hard pressed hospitals trying to cope with Co...

It's too hot outside so it's come to this.

Does anyone know where I can buy an exercise bike.

Many thanks in advance.

Can anyone tell me what the Sterling to Euro exchange rate is for the 2020 taxation tax year.

Many thanks in advance

Was a reason given? I only ask because I am trying to understand the mentality. Last year I spotted (through binoculars) two schoolboys set fire to undergrowth in Kamares (where the latest fire has destroyed everything). I informed the Kamares Club who came our very quickly and put the fire out. Th...
