Re: Flu/Covid

Louise - we got our booster at the General Hospital last week. No appointment necessary, but you will need a negative test and your previous vaccination certificates. We were in and out in 15 mins. Hope this helps.

Re: Expat Pensions

Not directly as I have my state pension paid I to my Cyprus bank account, but Santander have restricted access to my account (basically closed it). Fortunately I do have an account with UK Building Society, so have transferred private pensions to them. As an aside, Capital One has written to me to s...

Re: Important: Receiving medicinal products from the UK in Cyprus?

In answer to Firefly - Cyprus is now in the Eu, so any arrangements prior to that are irrelevant. The UK chose to leave, therefore it is now treated as any other non-EU country. If the products required are not available anywhere in the EU, but are medically necessary then maybe your GP can ask for ...

Re: Reupholster recommendations

Tipota reupholstered our 3 seat recliner sofa (12 years old!) in May this year. It was leather, but we decided to go for fabric .They did a fantastic job, like having a new sofa at less than half the price of a new one.

Re: JCC Smart Tax Payment Rejected

I had problems on Monday when I was trying to pay my 2021 tax through JCC. It also rejected me. I just came out af all sites, closed down my PC, then started again. My calculations were still on Taxinet so I tried to pay again - success! Maybe the JCC system was just overloaded. 😊

Re: Good new TV series

The real documentary series is on Netflix. Watched it about 2 years ago - the whole series is filmed around the police investigation, court case etc. with the actual defendent and relatives. I won't give the end away, but really good.

Re: Proof of Residence

The local mukhtar can sign a form for the partner or wife to say he/she are resident if no utilities are in their name. We had to do this when my licence was due for renewal and it is accepted by the relevant government department.
