Yes that makes sense, amazingly!I got the official tax exemption letter last year but didn't need any of that to complete my tax return online, only the details from the white medical card! Read More

GESY exemption certificate lasts 4 years I believe, then you have to re confirm it with the ministry of health but I think the medical card just continues. Read More

Residency visa by iontacar

Might be worth calling back into the citizens centre after 4 weeks. Ours were supposed to be posted out to us, purely by chance we went back to the citizens centre and the lady said our cards had been issued and she was able to give us them there ... Read More

@mbohills57 don't worry, its standard practice for DWP to verify that pensioners living abroad are still alive! You can expect to get one of these letters every couple of years from now on. It doesn't need to be the mukhtar who signs it, most ... Read More
