Looking for information on the ever changing border requirements. Published info is never, of course, directed at Canadians, but much of that aimed at British expats is of interest. Not so much the helpful advertisements. “Here’s a warning for UK expats. Smart Brits Abroad Are Saving Thousands On Funeral Costs Using This Funeral Plan”. Something they know that I don’t, or is it just the demographic?
Meanwhile the border situation still lacks clarity. Read online that the crossing to the South will be open only to Turkish Cypriot citizens and permanent residents. That’s obviously not us, but is it accurate, and if so will it change without notice?
Sometimes categories that aren’t covered are simply omitted inadvertently as regulations are drawn up in haste. So, for example, our dentist has been open for five weeks now. But the dentists never got official notice that they could reopen. They simply observed that everyone in similar categories had been given the green light and followed suit. This is a small enough country that it worked.
On the other hand rumour has it tonight that some of the residents who have just arrived on flights home here are apparently being sent back to the UK because their residence permits had expired when they were not here to renew them. General understanding had been that they would be permitted to renew late as they had no way of returning to do so on time. And that may yet prove to be the case. It may all be a misunderstanding that gets sorted, but not without tears.
