Paphos Life

Thank you sunspot.

sunspot I would appreciate simple instructions on how to get the reference number on the tax portal. I went round & round in circles & eventually gave up to try again another day!

The past couple of years or so it’s been a doddle doing my husband’s tax return as a lot of the information was already entered. This year there were some amendments to the form & I ended up making a few errors which the system wouldn’t let me correct. I emailed the tax office on Friday & wa...

Jeba, you say that your German driving licence does not have an expiry date, perhaps you need to be sure it is still legal to use in Cyprus if you have been a resident for 2 years as a driving licence here is only valid for 15 years. https://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/vehicles/driving-licence/dri...

I think most of us who have renewed a driving licence know that we get a temporary one until the new one is issued. If people followed the thread instead of just reading the opening post they would see that on May 6th gerryg said that he cannot get an appointment until the 23rd May BUT his licence E...

The census began on the 1st October but I seem to remember they were having trouble employing enough enumerators. We had a very nice young lady do ours either that month or early in November but we live in Paphos town, it’s going to take a lot longer to track down people in the country & who liv...

My last licence renewal, my second renewal, was done on the 14th of the month 2020 & expired on the 26th of the month 2023, one day before my birthday.

Louise Husband’s driving licence renewal was due this week. (he’s nearer 80 than 70!) On 28th Dec I booked an appointment on-line for the main post office at Anavargos at https://kepo.cypruspost.post/v2/ I booked a 0800 appointment so that we would be first in line. Inside the post office near the C...

Not long back from the General after getting our booster vaccinations. It was well organised & we were in & out in less than half an hour.
However, when we came to leave at about 1510 the main entrance was locked with a big chain & people were using the A & E entrance!!

When you speak about a Cypriot Covid pass do you mean the EU Digital Covid Pass which your partner would have needed to travel & which is accepted by the UK?

My Tax REFERENCE number is the same one as used on any official document - MEU3, driving licence etc, etc - but my TIC (Tax Payer Identification Code) is a completely different number which I have been using on tax returns for years. A long time ago when updating information with the Hellenic Bank t...

Your TIC number is your Taxpayer Identification Code which you would have been given when your first registered at the tax department. It is not the same number as your Alien card number.

I’ve been having a look at the Green Dot website https://greendot.com.cy/en/& it has been updated since I last looked & now has lot of useful information. Just because an item has a recycling symbol on it doesn’t necessarily mean that it can be recycled in Cyprus & the Green Dot trademar...

This appears to be the application form for registration https://www.tourism.gov.cy/tourism/tourism.nsf/application11_en/application11_en?OpenForm The form states "Proprietor – Natural or legal person that is proprietor of the establishment" but doesn't say what constitutes a "legal p...

Phone Cyta on 132 & ask them, they are very helpful. I think you press * (star) for English.

Although most people will see through the scam email it would be helpful if Cyprus Post gave a little more information. I recently received a genuine email from “Cyprus Post info@cyprus.post” about some items I bought on-line. The email is in Greek & English Dear Customer, Sign in at our website...
