Re: Paphos Smart Parking
In front of the Hickory restaurant near TOTK are three parking areas. In each there is a sign indicating that parking is charged at €1 per hour using the smart parking method. However, none of the parking bays have legible allocated numbers - in fact on most there is no number at all. When meeting f...

Re: Currencyfair
CurrencyFair was formerly 'user friendly' but having read comments in recent months on in various discussion groups I don't understand why it is now necessary to set up the details of the account you want the Euros deposited into before arranging the transfer of sterling funds into CF. Earlier this ...

Re: Facebook Account
Taking it one step further Dominic you could say the same about anything these days - difficult to know who or what to believe as there is so much going on!
The information about Covid is one worldwide example of how people were (and in some cases still are) influenced and manipulated.

Re: Biometric Card - 2026
Having initially been issued with the brown booklet I must say the exchange process from MEU3 to MUKW3 was the simplest immigration procedure I have been through in Cyprus. The transformation from having my photograph stapled onto a document to the digital era has been long overdue. I prefer to keep...

Re: NHS cover on visit to UK
Polemi Ian, I DID initially ask the Citizens service centre about getting this card, the reply was we don't issue these to British Citizens. I was told to apply to the UK. I resent your other quite un necessary remark. Polemi Ian was simply stating that it can be done and how to do it. Likewise I h...

Re: MUKW3 and Driving Licence Question
Since the new appointment system at the Immigration Office has been in place there is no unnecessary waiting or seeing people come in after you and going into the office area before you as they so stick to the appointment schedule. At the time of my application I only had to wiat 6 weeks to attend t...

Also the S1 form has a provision for people for using NHS facilities so worth contacting the relevant department (S1 issuer) in the UK. We have an EHIC card issued by the UK as part of the S1 package. From the link below: ''Getting treatment in the UK Some former UK residents do not have to pay for ...

Re: MUKW3 and Driving Licence Question
Hi You cannot change a UK licence to a Cypriot one at the Citizens Bureau,it has to be done at the transport Department. Why people pay these agents loads of money is beyond me when a lot of the red tape stuff can be done yourself. Eighteen years here now,bought and sold a house,immigration,tax,lic...

Re: Apartment
With rental costs increasing and continuing to increase and income remaining fairly static it is causing more hardship to those who rent, especially when some landlords/agents increase the rent out of proportion when it is due for renewal. The range for two bedroom properties is averaging €800 - €12...

Re: Tipping point for waiting staff
'The 1968 law says that service charges are always included in the bill, making every tip optional. Not tipping isn’t unusual, it’s just up left to the customer'.

Re: Looking to sell my Rav4

Also bear in mind that private purchasers are likely to offer more than the dealers. As an aside, when insuring your vehicle th...
