holiday in ireland

Hi Marcus. I think the Competency Cert from Brit Consul here in Spain cost 120€. But the renewal of a Brit passport cost almost 200 €, a Spanish 10 year one cost 16.95€. An absolute rip off.

I agree with you there John, ex-Pats are getting fleeced by their embassies. For instance, CNI in UK is 15 pounds, NSO certified CNI for my spouse is about 400php, my CNI at embassy in Manila, 5500php - very little work goes into producing a PH recognised CNI, 30 mins to be precise. Shameful!

I sure hope our travel to ROI and NI wont reflect this too much next year but I fear it will.
