Trevor’s Tips – August 2013

By Trevor Hughes

Permanent Residence

Due to the forthcoming elections, all Permanent Residence applications have been suspended for an undisclosed period.

Vehicle Registration Document.

The Greek border officials are now insisting you produce your original vehicle registration document [log book] when obtaining an annual cross border MOT. They will not accept a photocopy!!!!

Adding a name onto your vehicle Registration Document

In a previous Trevor’s Tips I wrote an article relating to adding a name onto your vehicle registration document. Well I was informed by a reader the other day that a colleague of his went to the office in Lefkosa to add a name onto his log book. The current fee for this service is 184 TL.

Well, the clerk at the counter decided that the fee should be applied to both persons names and subsequently charged him double the fee. Please make sure when going through this process that you are charged the appropriate fee [for one additional name] and not suffer the indignity of being overcharged!

The Kolan British Hospital.

Dağli Sigorta customers report the free cardiac check up undertaken by The Kolan Hospital in Lefkosa is an excellent service and well worth being checked out by them. This free facility is for Dağli Sigorta customers only.

Remember, prevention is far better than a cure!
