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 ...

Re: Passport Stamp & MEU3
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...

Re: Passport Stamp & MEU3
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...

Re: ETIAS (Schengen)
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...

EHIC
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.

Re: Had a text off your bank?
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.

Re: Robin
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.

Re: Massive Arakapas fire now threatens Larnaca villages-NEW videos and pictures (URGENT)
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...
