Can someone explain to me why is there a need for these visa runs to Meis & Kas? Are they used for people who don't have full residency?

Yes, and tourists who wish to have a day trip to Greece.

So does that mean people would need to do a trip every 90 days?

Not many people do the run now because residency is much cheaper than it was £55 a year, they did say it would be compulsory for anyone with residency to have medical insurance as well. This is about 255tl a couple, per month. It has been put on hold at the moment. I just wonder with the residency costs being reduced so much, it could be a sprat to catch a mackerel.

yes Mark, a lot of people i know just jumped straight in and got it because its so cheap now, but if and when the compulsory insurance kicks in :i e 255 per month, i wonder how many will be back visa hopping to meis.

Well I guess you would still have that option. But personaly I feel that if you live here you should have something in place (either private or goverment insurance), should something unfortunate happens healthwise...

i agree Phil, unfortunately some people dont see past how many effes 255 lira could buy a month.

Can see where you are coming from Mark but if it does become compulsory to take out the medical insurance then 250 tl(about £100) for a couple is a bargain, to be fully medically covered for health, eyes,teeth as well as cheaper drug charges.

Especially if that includes cocaine.
