Paphos Life

If they are resident here, then the usual passport, yellow slip etc (for both parties if jointly owned). If they pay tax here then they will need a tax clearance certificate to prove their tax affairs are up to date, but the lawyer will sort that out.

This is the woman that got pregnant prison inmates handcuffed to their beds while giving birth. She is clearly mad as a hatter.

Does anyone know the exchange rate we should be using when calculating temporary tax for this year?

Great photos that show just how great the old town is.

By the way, in the photo of the burger shop you can see some chairs on the pavement on the right. That is a bar called Kinki which has a large number of craft beers and aprox 50 gins. Worth visiting I suggest.

Interesting. I think this is a Cirque du Soleil production so should be of the highest quality and, most importantly, no animals.

Great photos. I'm pleased to say I know all the locations bar 3, so will be investigating those in the coming days. For info, the fish shop shown doesn't do any form of haddock I'm afraid, or any smoked fish at all. It does wet fish as liked by the Cypriot consumers (bream and bass for example). We ...

You might find the leaflet on the link below interesting. Clearly nearly all taxi drivers in Paphos are breaking the law on a daily basis. Everybody moans, but how many complain to the appropriate authority (see the attached leaflet). Nobody does of course, but if they did then perhaps things would ...

That's right darrow. I also went for blood tests, although about an hour later than you. The main reception had 6 to 8 people in front of me. The stamp queue was around 6. The blood test reception had 4 in front of me. The normally heaving throng outside the blood room was around 10 strong. Remember...

Actually today was relatively quiet at the General. No huge queues anywhere. No people getting worked up or shouting. Just a few Brits moaning, as usual.

My brain seems to have turned to mush. When I go to the General for blood tests (I have the sheet from the doctor), do I have to register at the main reception, and get the strip of stickers? Or do I go straight to the blood test reception for my blood phials? I know I have to stop off at the stamp ...

That's what happens when you "outsource" local authority responsibilities with the targetry and financial gains for the private company. If he had been a council worker, it is likely he would have just told her not to do it.

As HIC says, a car is essential. Don't even think of staying there without one.

To answer your question, I would say the area of Paphos town on either side of "Polis Road" would fit the bill. No Brits, no tourists, no holiday villas, no pools. Just Cypriots (and a few others) mainly in Cypriot-style bungalows on residential streets. Banks, pharmacists, veg markets, supermarkets...

I have just taken out travel insurance through Status Insurance. The policy is with Citybond and gives me 5,000,000 euros cover for a one month trip at a cost of 135 pounds (excluding usa etc). Not bad given that my heart is covered even though I have had a bypass. My wife, who is younger, has been ...

Thanks for your help everyone. I will investigate Transferwise and see if It will work for me.

I have an offshore current account with Nat West, who are being extremely difficult when it comes to be confirming my identity. I have been with them a number of years, and have supplied a number of certified documents etc. Yet they reject them for a variety of reasons. All for an account with a few...

I can't help think that support from Trump for leaving is the best advert for remaining.

Some of the Bulgarian and Romanian beers are a bit darker than the Cyprus ones, and very good. They often come in 3 litre bottles from the Bulgarian and Romanian shops. Ask the staff for recommendations. Relatively cheap too.

The new system worked well for me this morning. Had an appointment with the Cardiologist at 9am, so went to my GP first for a referral note.(£6). Also obtained a note from my GP for repeat prescriptions, and took it to my usual Pharmacist. Apparently you can use any Pharmacy displaying the GESY sig...
