Prior to buying our little bit of Italy, I insisted on having a certificate of habitation fully signed and sealed. Does this have to be renewed at any point or is it only if I sell sometime in the future? S

But, the thing with these forms, whilst very tiresome, you really want to make sure that what you are WRITING DOWN (in blue or black........ not red !) is correct, if not, it may come back to haaunnnt you ! I can cope with my verbal conversation being misunderstood, but writing things down and declaring them to be correct is a little different ? S

hi szq (interesting lable !!)............... We also received one of these ( I hated them back in the UK every ten years as well!).........but, I too went searching on their site for some clues re directions in English, and also failed. I emailed 'them' (rightly or wrongly in English, asking about the English info that they mention) and got a standard automated reply along the lines of 'we have received your email and will deal with it soon'.................by the way in Italian. I await their response and will post when I can, S ps: the census form looks HORRENDOUS !!!

I think that Ryanair are in serious danger of shooting (either) themselves in the foot OR OR !! the airports themselves due to the 'deals' that airports have had with flyers(such as Ryanair). The losers could be those who have bought places that have previously been 'good' deals for the Ryanairs of the world. pile em high, sell em cheap !....................move on. Maybe I'm a sufferer ???? oh hec !! S
