Re: Road trip through Eastern Europe in November

Loafing Along is right, Romania (especially Transylvania and perhaps the Delta) are well worth a visit. As for driving there, as LA says, most the main roads are in decent condition, although there's...

Re: Legalising UK documents when living in Greece

calman014 Yeah, that's what I did. The service I used ordered it, legalised it, and then posted it on. Cost a bit more obviously, but good in terms of time.

Re: Legalising UK documents when living in Greece

The GOV website says they should be legalised in the country they were issued, so I assume not. I had to have my birth certificate legalised in the UK for my citizenship application. To save time I...

Re: Moving to Romania

Also, thinking long-term, a place close to the metro would be easier to rent out to young professionals. Obviously though, that might be reflected in the purchase price. You could take a look at the...

Re: Moving to Romania

Hi Roxa,

Yes, expats can own properties here. Anyone can buy a house or a flat, but only EU citizens can own land (for example, the land a house is built on), although that can be solved but...

Re: Jobs in Romania

Usual sites are hipo.ro, bestjobs.ro and ejobs.ro. He might be able to find something at a service centre or international company. How are his Romanian language skills?

Re: Moving from UK to Bulgaria

No, you can't lose your citizenship. The thing with being present for a certain number of days (usually half a year per year) is generally to do with residency permits/certificates. Some countries...

Re: Moving from UK to Bulgaria

You just have to keep them updated about your address and bank details. The contract details have changed from year to year so I don't know if your contract is the same as mine, but in my case the...

Re: România

ANAF is like Inland Revenue. Landlords are supposed to register rental contracts with them. Sometimes they offer a cheaper price if you don't want/need a contract. You do, as you'll be applying for...

Re: Algarve vs. Costa de la Luz: their pros & cons as British retiree destinations)

No first-hand experience but I've seen on the news that Spain have stated that UK citizens will be allowed to stay even in the event of a no-deal Brexit.

Re: România

Can't remember the last time we had a significant power cut here in Bucharest. Sometimes there is a momentary out, a second or two, then it's back. It's just a pain as it'll restart the PC. Doesn't...

Re: Brexit....?

You might be able to find a teaching job here. There are some language schools but they generally don't pay to well and sometimes don't guarantee a sufficient amount of work to earn a decent living....

Re: România

Romanian is probably the easiest language in the region. I'm no natural with languages, but I could handle myself pretty well after two years, and that's with no lessons and, of course, using English...

The UK government certainly hasn't! :lol:

I guess it all boils down to what deal is struck and what dates are considered as 'cut off points'. If you've lived wherever you are for five years or...

Re: România

Quite a few people I've known over the years have started off in Bucharest till they got to grips with the country, then moved to Brasov for a change of lifestyle. I might even do it myself one day.

Re: Scared by Brexit

What BIP said. As a qualified native English speaker, it's a little easier for an employer to justify getting you a work visa over local applicants. However, the advantage EU native speakers have had...

Re: România

Hi,

You can get an idea of rental prices for various areas/cities using the website OLX (a classified ad site).

The residency certificate is pretty easy to do. You'll need to open a bank...

Re: Cheapest countries to live?

If you travel around Bucharest only briefly, you mostly see the main boulevards, which are mainly lined with those ugly blocks, but behind them, and in some other neighbourhoods, there's a lot of...

If working isn't an issue (which would be most people's main reason for choosing Bucharest as there are more opportunities) then you might consider some of the provincial cities. Take...

Re: Cheapest countries to live?

Sure, you can go east to the Black Sea, but to be honest it's not especially inspiring. Most people here complain of crowded beaches, high prices and poor services. A lot of them prefer to cross into...

Re: Cheapest countries to live?

You could consider Bucharest. A studio in a nice area should be about 350 Euro per month, or for the same price you could get a one bedroom in a less central area. My bills (block bills, electricity,...

Re: Anyone prefer a LHD in the UK and RHD on the continent

I prefer to drive the car designed for that country. Takes a few minutes to get used to switching between the two though. In fact, having spent 16 years of the 20 since I passed my test in a country...
