Slightly off topice but relevent I think, I today renewed my residence permit, I know many people involved in stamping my forms etc so asked re ex pats living on tourist visa and also whether I need to take health insurance, the reply was yes I need insurance, when i asked why are we who are living here legally on a permit are getting penalised compared to those doing the 3 month run, the reply was that they are closing that loophole and also I can apply for Kimlak soon and those now on tourist visa they will never be able to do.
