Perhaps, for some, this is an example of too much information or an information overload. But as the Boys Scouts say, 'Be Prepared'. Half, if not more, of the information below will not be needed by most. But I thought I would be thorough & fair by providing it all as it can be found online. I hope it may help others as it has helped me.

It's raining here today mate, cyclone season. Have nothing much better to do & I live on a small farm in the middle of nowhere with four women, three of them are sisters. Oh it is a miserable existence!

But in all seriousness, I've all this information at hand & I thought I would share it. It has helped me a great deal, & I honestly enjoyed the time spent finding this information.

If those three sisters are not your sisters, then... read the above sentence again.

 

[RMD]

Ha, no mate, they're not my sisters.

I will add something for Romanians and Bulgarians : take your passport too or you will be sent back. I was sent back from Aubagne for this reason.

I missed RMD's posts when they were posted back in November, but they are extremely useful. I've copied them into the "FAQ" stickie thread in the "Legion today" forum. Thanks RMD (and gyuszka for 'resurecting' this thread).
