About foreigners residance permit

Provided you don't exceed 90 days stay in any 180 day period, you can continue to use the £10 tourist visa

Can someone clarify for me please whether it is possible to get a rp for a six month period? I had always thought it had to be for a minimum of one year, but have read on the new medical insurance section something about a six month permit. This may be the answer for us wanting to spend six months next year but not having to register for the medical insurance, as always thanks for any replies:D

Yes, it is possible.
I'm currently on one and have even been on a 3 month permit in the past.
A residence permit can be taken on a monthly basis but uptil now most people preferred to take it longer.
It gets slightly cheaper if you take it per year and your blue book won't fill up so quickly.

Ok thanks Dutchie for that, I thought if our plans go ahead we could buy the new visa on entry and then apply for the residency when we arrive
