Yep I did the renewal in the IKA office yesterday it took 10 mins to do mine and my partners ...all smiles , handshakes and see you next year ...

Yes I agree Keltz, it is only bait ...with no interest in having a discussion. This is how it's been over this whole UK planning to leave the EU ...political debate reduced to some kind of nasty comic opera....it's very sad ...

Yeah, another vote for Hotel Sofia ..

Interesting talk. As you say, the status quo is attractive to those at the top. As we saw from their desperate efforts to stop Brexit Andrew Errr... Brexit was invented and is being carried out by those at the top for the benefit of those at the top ...and will be paid for by those at the bottom ....

Yes there does seem to be a problem with notaries just now .We are in the process of buying a plot of land next to our house and it is taking ages..partly because the sellers paperwork was incorrect and also’cos the notaries are overworked correcting and writing up paperwork for the property registe...

We've been with Bentley Walker for about 7 years. We were lucky enough to get an unlimited package. It's expensive but as we watch quite a lot of TV especially in the winter then the UK up address is invaluable. The download speed is always around 17-20 Mbs so apart from streaming live TV we can al...

Here is a link to Nova 3play sat ...the price list is at the bottom of the page ..http://www.nova.gr/gr/upiresies-gia-to-spiti/sat/3play-sat/ Edit ..I've look through the price list and it looks cheap until you find the bit where it says you get only 20 gb per month so half what we get with Tooway ....

Yes I had trouble with Nova , a few years ago I thought I would change from Bentley Walker who we have been with for years , to a Greek supplier to support the Greek economy ... So I got on to Nova on the phone and explained what I wanted . The woman I spoke to was well informed and very positive ab...

Thanks all ...Next time I have to ring the UK ( thankfully a rare thing )...I'll have another go with skype .....sorry for the off topic creep ...

Oh right satcure ..I though skype was bandwidth heavy ... our broadband comes via a satellite and the times I have used Skype in the past there was such a massive delay I found it difficult ...OK if it's yer brother or a friend ...but tricky if you a trying to do business or talk to an official ...I...

Yes I just got a EHIC card from the UK ..valid until 2024 .... You did better than me. 3 times I spent 10-15 minutes negotiating their nightmare robotic telephone tree, three times I got to the point where I was being connected to a human, 3 times I got cut off at that point. Grrrr Did you use a la...

Yes I just got a EHIC card from the UK .. I applied for it over the phone very easy process .I told them I live in Greece and get a UK state pension and have an S1...it took about 14 days to arrive , it is valid until 2024 ....

Yes I just looked through the file ..and the photo copied A4 page they gave her in November has her AMKA number and tax number and says it is valid until Feb 2020 ...and my IKA book that I got in 2018 and was renewed with a sticky label in Feb 2019..says valid until Feb 2020 ...so it looks like we h...

Yeah you could be right ...but what are you renewing if they don't issue a book any more ?...

Oh I thought we did not have to do this anymore ...no books so no renewal of books ...have I got this wrong ? When my partner signed up with her S1 in November this year they did not say she had to renew anything ....
