@seamus452If you've got EU passports, there's nothing that stops you rocking up in Spain and staying indefinitely. You SHOULD do your EU Citizen Registration within 90 days if you want to live there, and if so, you need the health insurance you ... Read More

@Kath948381I second @sogy's recommendation of SDI. They have offices outside many/most Kauflands, so you can easily add "insurance" to your weekly shopping list. :-) Otherwise, I've used 24ins (dot bg) for a couple of policies as they're online. Read More

@wilsampjI'm a big fan of Catalonia, but anything in/near Barcelona is going to be a bit pricey.Being slightly inland does take the edge off, however. As does choosing a smaller town/larger village rather than the biggest cities.Spain is famous for ... Read More

@AlanWBHouses prices going crazy is happening all over Spain, not just Malaga.There are loads of lovely cities and small towns which would be very acceptable places to live, spread among all the lovely Costas. Really, you're spoiled for ... Read More

@Sleep NearBlagoevgrad is a good option, and I very much second your recommendation to be in/near a bigger city. Healthcare is possible anywhere, but it's much easier when you can easily access city services.We very much like Plovdiv as it's a ... Read More

@KennrLynnWelcome to the Forum! Bulgaria is a long way from your home, but you can have a very nice, and much more affordable, life here. If you having savings and a pension/disability pension, the residence process (by D visa) is fairly ... Read More

@janemulberryI reckon one of the best things you can do here is be on good terms with your village neighbours. My neighbours have been astonishingly helpful in the years we've been here - far beyond anything I've experienced elsewhere.Even in the ... Read More

@dimwolfMehh... human nature, rather than a scam. :-) Read More

@juliablancheAs @janemulberry says, this is true of almost every agent. Most, however, tend to highlight which are sold already vs. for sale. If your guy did that following your complaint, he seems cooperative and responsive to me.... and, having ... Read More

@Kath948381Never used 'em? Don't you order anything online? Most (Bulgarian) online orders are delivered by Speedy or Econt.Also, some couriers will pickup from your address. Of course, it costs more, but it's very convenient. I think DHL will do ... Read More

@Kath948381I did it online a couple of months ago. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy. :-)Here's the link:https://www.gov.uk/apply-renew-passportYou might want to pop out to a photographer and get a new pic done. You can do it yourself, but more tricky to ... Read More

@JimJFunny/scary post. :-)And, mostly I agree with you. I found Bulgaria pretty terrifying for a few days when I first drove over the border from Serbia!Now, not only do I barely notice, I (sadly) now drive almost as demonically as the locals. ... Read More

@janemulberrySorry, @janemulberry, it's possible that you live in a pocket of the UK that rivals Bulgarian drivers... but more likely that you haven't driven much in Bulgaria! :-)The UK is an oasis of well-regulated driving in comparison, including ... Read More

@seamus452My bad. I should have clarified it was a way to keep "a US number" rather than "my current US number". Read More

@Haejin LeeMore germane, perhaps, is your definition of "urgent". However, fear not, Pedant Man has heard your plea. :-)Poetry and poem (or poems) are not synonyms. Poetry is a type of literary work, in the same way as "historic fiction" might be. A ... Read More
