"It would be interesting to know if Italy and Spain have simply decided to do this of their own volition, like the UK has promised to protect EU citizens rights in the event of a no-deal, or there has been bilateral negotiation between the UK and Spanish/Italian governments." Warwick I hav...

I've had a Virgin Sim since May. If I'm out of Crete for 2 months or more within 4 months then I should be hammered, however no probs. yet touch wood.

Is the 95 days for the blue or beige residence permit?

Obviously there are bigger priorities but I know many Brits here who have several rescue animals and IF they have to return to the UK, I'm sure they would want to take their pets back with them. So to some people here, it could be a big problem. This is a forum about Living in Crete after...

I wonder what the rules will be if you want to take your Greek adopted pets back to the UK?

Yes I was told by passport control man at Chania that things would be more complicated and there would be more controls in the future. He had a very grim expression. That was flying from Chania to Paphos. We were just about the only nonGreek/Cypriots on the flight.

If you want to go to Vrysses meeting, you need to register with eventbrite and get a ticket! I was sent an email about this. Not sure how else this info will be passed on.
