Why play silly buggers running round with a rifle when you can have working day of 0800 to 0930 rehearsal; 1100 to 1200 concert for 3 months each summer as we did in Troodos 1966/7

When I was stationed in Cyprus in the 60s as long as your baby was born on the SBA it was classed as British if born outside the SBA it was a Wog.

In the 60's...

Yes didn't I look smart at Curium?

Which one is you, I can't see anyone with a skull cap (kipper) on.

What are the Challenges and benefits ....A foreigner that is pregnant and and wants to give birth in Cyprus? any free health care ? any benefits for the mother and child before and after birth ..

It depends what you mean by foreigner. If you are a non-European, with no Cypriot citizenship they your chances of benefits are slim.

If you are a European you can claim benefits from the European Union, and they will claim the benefits in Cyprus and charge your country of origin.

The benefits available in Cyprus tend to go in the line of tax benefits for every child, as well as help the further education and loaning programs to fund their education. They have to live in Cyprus in order to get these benefits.

The government prefer if you are working here as well, in order to get money out of the system you have to pay the system. This is the only way to win, and thank god there is still a country in the modern world, with exceptions, which follows these rules.

...you are obliged to become a morally upstanding and hardworking citizen.

Yep. Agreed. But somehow I don't think foreigners from a non-EU background have this in mind. It's more on the lines of claiming political asylum and forging marriages in order to get citizenship.

Thank you Sega, but can you give more explanations. That means I have to contact the European Union website or not? How soon I'll be able to receive these benefits?

please advice, GemmaKay
