Re: Brexit and MEU1 etc
There are essentially three residency statuses that British expats are entitled to: MEU1 (registration for residents that want to live in Cyprus for more than three months) . . UK nationals visiting the island after that will be allowed to stay here for three months, without a visa. What I have not...

Spot on for me although I did tend to answer with the words I used as a child.

Re: Cardboard postal boxes
Empty shoe boxes might fit the bill. I'm sure the shoe shops have loads going spare if you ask.

Re: Cyprus one of worst offenders for motorway speeding - EU report
It's easily done, especially for those of us that flip between the UK and Cyprus.
I got a ticket some time back near the airport. Empty road and not watching my speedo.
When you're used to 70mph limit on UK motorways it's easy to make a mistake.

Re: Down at the harbour
Was on the headland at Paphos last week, in a biting wind, all wrapped up in jumpers and coat wooly hat and gloves.
Couldn't believe the tourist that were wandering about in shorts and thin T-shirts.

Lots of Swallows and House Martins in Mandria last week. A few of both in the Polis area today and possibly a Common Swift.

Re: Travel Insurance
I'm a year younger than you and have just renewed my annual travel insurance which covers both my wife and myself worldwide (i.e. inc. US and Canada) for multiple trips per year each with a maximum of 45 days for a total of £171 (including an excess waiver) with Globelink www.globelink.co.uk . Fort...

Travel Insurance
Having made 66, my Travel Insurance is now going to restricts me to 31 days in any trip when I renew it. As I like to come to Cyprus for about six weeks at a time, four times a year, this is clearly not good. I will have a good look round before I renew it, but has anyone else come across a company ...

Re: Credit card fees in UK
I sell fitted kitchens and have always accepted credit cards as long as the user would pay the charges (between 1.7% and 3.6%) that we get charged, dependant on what card they use. Now I am told I have to raise all my charges so the customers that pay by B.A.C.s have to subsidise those who prefer t...

Getting a bit fed up being accosted by beggers everytime we walk into Lidls, they are Gypsies from Greece, organised, and dropped off there in a mini bus, i've complained to the manager but just got the shrug of the shoulders. Wonder if the manager would shrug if people started to tell him/her that...

Re: A big ask - info on car hire in UK without a UK debit/credit card
If we've not been able to arrange a pickup at Paphos airport, we have hired a car for one day and taken it back the next day when we go shopping.
Cost us about €25 I think. Less than half the price of a taxi.

Re: These two are wanted for thousands of scams - Do you recognize them? [photos]
I well remember coming over on holiday, before I moved out here. Our late friend Paphos Al alerted me to a good kiosk which gave good rates, but also warned me to count the notes before I left the counter. This I did, and as I reached the end the lovely girl behind the counter slapped another Cy20 ...

Re: MEU1 (sorry!)
I would doubt that the citizens Centre could give you a definitive answer. I would advise contacting the migration department Nicosia for a written response. I would however hazard a guess that it does not apply to you. It is a document registering that you are living in Cyprus for a continuous sta...
