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 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.

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.
