Re: citizenship problems

Re: citizenship problems

Thanks very much, this suggests that I will not be alone in my dilemma and that other Brits may have had to present certified copies rather than 'originals'. So the system may be accustomed to our ...

citizenship problems

Hello, I have lived in Hungary long enough now to apply for citizenship and with Brexit, it seems prudent to do so.

Re: Credit Cards

It's weird. After all, I could drive into Germany, buy such an item and drive home with no let or hindrance! But posting seems to attract a tax!
