Totally agree with you emgee. Having waited nearly two hours ourselves, just kept reminding myself how much money we were saving doing it ourselves!
To those of you who still have to attend interviews my advice would be - take a good book with you!

While waiting at Immigration office for our MEU3 interview on 6th October, people coming in to arrange appointments were being given dates for mid-December so I’d get onto it asap.
It’s easy enough to do it yourself but you might need Gwennys help in view of the looming deadline.

Re: MEU3 query
We were there yesterday for our MEU3, our rental agreements were only signed by our landlord and ourselves and were accepted.
Take a good book with you, we waited nearly two hours!

Re: UK banks to close many ex-pats accounts after Brexit.
Thanks for the info mike and bromerzz. Our application was refused, which was why we rang their helpline, maybe it was because we were buying them for someone else? We ended up sending the money to our daughter to buy them. We already own premium bonds and Wouldn’t mind moving some money from our sa...

Re: UK banks to close many ex-pats accounts after Brexit.
We wanted to buy Premium bonds for our grandson online but were blocked. On speaking to their customer services was told you couldn’t purchase Bonds if you lived in Cyprus, but we are able to continue to hold the ones we already had and if we do win it is reinvested in more Bonds. So if you reinvest...

Re: Flights into Paphos today
I was initially expecting a text but after nothing heard by the second day of isolation I started to look for a phone number to ring. Thankfully the ‘receipt’ I was given at the payments desk was at the bottom of my handbag (could have so easily thrown it away) and that’s when I realized I could che...

Re: Flights into Paphos today
If you get tested at the airport on your return to Cyprus they do not text you. When you pay for the test you are given what looks like a receipt. This has a reference number and the web address where the results are posted. You put your ref number, passport number and Cyprus flight pass number onto...

Re: Surgeon for prolapsed disc
Yioula is right, need to keep moving regularly. I have suffered with a prolapsed disc for a number of years causing pins and needles in one foot and a slight loss of reflex. The surgeon I saw (UK) said op was a last resort because of the complications it could cause. I discovered Pilates a few years...

Re: Wills
When we made our Cypriot wills a couple of years ago we were advised that our executors should complete probate on our UK estate first, then it couldn’t be included in probate over here.

Re: JET 2 CANCELLATION REFUNDS
Similar experience with Jet2.

The following week the refund was in my bank account. Excellent customer ser...

Re: Escaped
Had a lovely meal last night at our local Italian restaurant in Mandria. All new procedures in place, they have printed out their menus and put them beneath the glass tabletops. Quite quiet in all the tavernas here but that could have been because it was a cool/windy evening. Personally we’re going ...

Re: SMS permission query
I don’t agree people are flouting the rules, more that the wording on the form is unclear, it states ‘for the following reasons’ which is plural therefore indicating you could do more than one thing per outing. Those who have to use SMS seem to be stuck with only one option though. The other week we...
