Re: Doctor visit and Safe Pass
Thanks for the replies. So it seems that patients visiting their GP at Blue Cross do not need a Safe Pass now. Was this change in policy listed anywhere on Government or Health Ministry websites or is it just a policy change introduced by the hospital?

Thanks for the replies so far. The doctor office where I enquired about an appointment said I would need a Safe Pass or a negative Rapid test.

Thanks Dee, Yes I already have my first appointment booked with Immigration for next month. The TD 2001 form that I have to fill in is asking for my ARC number, so if they give me an ARC number at the appointment next month it may be ok to use it on the TD 2001 form. Will the ARC number that Immigra...

Re: Delivery of gas - 10kg bottle
That is a possibility but we are looking for a permanent solution and don’t really want to keep bothering neighbours.
Very surprising that no business in Paphos seems to deliver such a basic thing.
