Re: Biometric Card - 2026

Re: Looking to sell my Rav4

Re: MUKW3

I heard, that to obtain an mukw3 another criteria may come into place and that would be a paid funeral plan.
This was down at the pub so I'm not sure if it's correct.

Re: Electric Cars - Caveat Emptor

Re: GESY Registration

The white medical card is an S1, it comes from the UK, to qualify you need to be receiving a state pension, with that you will get free treatment but still need an MEU3 and be registered in Cyprus for tax purposes.
