Re: Survive on 1,000euros a week in Cyprus?

Assuming that you mean 1000 euors per month, I would have thought that they would not get residency on that amount. If they are as you say middle aged, and so not retired they will not have an S1 certificate. One of the requirements of immigration would be for them to have private medical insurance...

Re: Amazon UK query

There may also be a customs handling charge. But if you need this item, it may be worth ordering or have it delivered to a person who is due to fly over.

S1 certificate

Hi, I received my S1 certificate from the UK and took it to the citizens service centre, signed their form and have now received a white card in the post.
Can anyone tell me what to do with this card, do I just keep hold of it or take to another office?
Thanks

Re: Lebanon

They usually sound them on the 15th and 18th of July to commemorate the invasion. I was told by some friends In Polis that for some reason they didn't work in July and have accidently gone off the other night, maybe they're set on a timer or something and it's become faulty.

Re: Guiding emergency vehicles to the house.

Try to learn how to send a pin location on google maps, when you call the ambulance they will ask for it and then find you quicker.

Re: US dollars - small denomination notes

The exchange business relies on currencies coming in, as there aren't many US citizens visiting it's doubtful that there will be many US dollars around especially small denomination notes. If you are going to the USA go to an ATM when you arrive at the airport.
