Paphos Life

Well I saw the Paphos DHL delivery guy in his van yesterday and he has been to my house in Tala several times so he is definitely real and must be doing something all day long!

I have the same butter dilemma but have to simply wait until Lurpak is on offer and then stock up. Kerrygold is nice but is so difficult to spread from the fridge compared to Lurpak. I have bought the Lidl Danepak before but haven't seen it in store for more than a year now.

The form and instructions are on the link I gave above. Here's a direct link: http://www.moi.gov.cy/moi/CRMD/crmd.nsf ... 20MEU3.doc

There'll be different documents you have to provide - those proving you have lived here continuously for 5 years such as utility bills and rental agreements/sales agreements etc. For those interested in applying, the list of documents and the application form (MEU3A) are at the bottom of this articl...

There is still a bit of confusion regarding the different procedures. First was the alien book with which you got a pink residence permit and an ID card (which lasted for about 10 years). Then the pink residence permit changed to a yellow residence permit which is what I think Mike J has. After join...

Really interesting. Thanks for posting.

I've just booked with Green Motion direct. I've not used before so will reserve judgement. They have a base at the airport (have used off airport ones before and it takes so long!). I've paid €106 for 5 days hire, VW Polo automatic (prefer auto when driving on t'other side). This included roadside a...

I do think you are still missing the point. Who taught you the manners? If you have no one around you to instil them in you - then what is the answer? I'm not condoning or excusing any of it - just trying to look at ways to stop it. Is it governments responsibility, schools??? How do we actual deal ...

But Cactus, you only picked bits out of my post - you didn't say if you also experienced the other stuff such as.... Low employment skills, no discipline, low educational achievement, low family values, few role models, lack of parental skills. Perhaps these things would have affected your future ha...

Hi Tuppence They are almost always included in the rental for an apartment. I think Trev means the local authority community charge (council,tax) rather than a complex communal fee. Most apartments will include all bills except electric but make sure it is written in the contract. Some will ask you ...

Complain as we do, I never see constructive solutions to address the problems. Low employment skills, no discipline, low educational achievement, low family values, few role models, lack of parental skills, disgraceful lack of affordable housing which fuels the benefits culture, no apprenticeships e...

ronk .....looking forward to arriving....with brolly ...thanks . Having trawled through countless Paphos rental websites one would be led to believe that there are hundreds of lets to be had ....however looking at the ones recommended here on PaphosLife it is an entirely different story .....hopefu...

Just a note re documentation. When you apply for your immigration registration, they may ask for a copy of your marriage certificate. If so, it now MUST be legalised (apostille). This is a relatively new rule. Perhaps a retired couple who have recently been through the application process may come a...

Well this is strange as up until mid last year, I always had to collect Amazon deliveries (DHL) from ACS. Then I got a phone call one day and the guy said he was in Tala and could he deliver my parcel. The next 3 deliveries were all delivered to my door with a phone call beforehand. So I assumed the...

Yes that may be the one near Paphos Cemetary, next to Pafia Gardens - it's an enormous piece of land. There are quite a few large Turkish Cypriot plots in Moutallos above the Tombs of the Kings area.

Jeanne

They're just residential building plots like any other. A couple happen to be on corners. Nothing sinister going on!

Pay for the courier return service when you make your application. It will arrive back by DHL at the ACS courier office (they will call you to collect or deliver). I didn't use the DHL service to SEND the signed form and old passport because they wanted €20 or €25 to send it! I went instead to the p...

And whilst I have the greatest respect for the Offices of the High Commission, if you read the full text of the 'Brexit' meeting on the link below, you get the sense that they have no idea yet. There are a lot of inconclusive statements. It also (incorrectly) says that if you live here, you must cha...

I did check the UK and the prices do vary. From £659 at Argos, £699 at Currys and various others including Amazon UK ranged from £617 to £749. The £617 on Amazon UK bizarrely is dispatched from a company called Digitech4all in Greece. So I checked their website direct and it costs €770 on there. The...
