Re: Viewpoint: UK will Exit EU with no deal

Hello Jon, hope you are well. I can only speak as I find but watching the newspaper reviews on TV most of the guests from the Times appear to be in favour of leaving especially the leader writer (sorry I can't recall his name but he looks about fifteen years old). The point being is that these paper...

Re: Viewpoint: UK will Exit EU with no deal

Strange, the government has stated it's going to publish papers spelling out the affected areas of British life if there is no deal, in batches starting in August but it appears you don't believe what the government is announcing. The government stated there would be about 70 papers but Buzzfeed sai...

Re: Sorry,MEU3 again.no need to panick??

Having read back over all my posts I can't see anything where I've said it was Mandatory to apply for an MU3, when I stated that it was strongly advised you initially disagreed but now confirm that the BHC recommended this. As I also keep saying, the choice is yours but having dealt with Nicosia Imm...

Re: Viewpoint: UK will Exit EU with no deal

Opens for me and you don't have to "Inscribe" to read it. Buzzfeed has been around for quite a while and covers international news just like the Huffington or Reuters. there is no pontificating in the article, just straight reporting.

Re: Viewpoint: UK will Exit EU with no deal

I found this article interesting, there is a list of 84 papers (gone up from 70) to be issued by the UK government relating to a no deal Brexit and the effects it will have on the UK. One paper refers to "UK citizens in the EU" which I wait to read with baited breath. No doubt that old fav...

Re: Sorry,MEU3 again.no need to panick??

I have mine as well but mine looks a little different from yours, took nearly a year to get it and that was before the deluge of applications from British applicants. Non EU citizens MU3 are only valid for 10 years, not for life as the ones issued to EU citizens are so we may have go through the sam...

Re: Sorry,MEU3 again.no need to panick??

I've read several open letters and reports of meetings with British residents accredited to the BHC urging the British residents to apply for Permanent Residency though the way Brexit negotiations appear to be going (according to the UK government Foreign Minister) there is every possibility the UK ...

Re: Sorry,MEU3 again.no need to panick??

At the end of the day they are both designed for EU citizens...which as UK citizens we will not be...but being an optimist I have no doubt measures will be put in place to ensure our ability to live and work in Cyprus. As the UK High Commission strongly advises British Citizens to apply for an MU3 ...

Try Bionic which is on Hellados Avenue. Drive towards Mesogi from Kennedy Square and it's on the right hand side. They do stock Apple.

Re: Viewpoint: UK will Exit EU with no deal

That's going to be difficult; it's taking up to 2 hours to transit Heathrow passport control, Amsterdam, Malta, Portugal takes about 20 minutes to go through the non EU gates so we're going to have to up our tat or is it tit ;-)

Re: Viewpoint: UK will Exit EU with no deal

We need to ensure tit for tat systems are established with the EU once we finally get out. Tit for Tat for all eventualities. If for example we have to wait at Immigration desks in Europe then make sure EU - non British Passport holders have to do the same on entering and leaving our Borders, So yo...

Re: Latest Brexit poll

My Aussie friend was telling me it's not compulsory to actually vote there but it is compulsary to go to the polling station on polling day and receive your voting slip. You can then rip it up or spoil it. You can register for a postal vote as well but if you don't do one or the other you can be fin...
