    Weve been working on the same issue for my husband for several years The place to start is rhe Greek consulate in your area- theyll have a checklost for you. First thing will be to get all your papetwork in order- certified copies of all birth, marriage, and death certificates. Get them apostilled at the Sec of State in the state of their issuance, get them translated by a translator approved by the consulate. Get an FBI background check. Get your passport apostilled and translated. Concerning the previous comment regarding getting you family "registered" in Greece according to where your grandparents are from... we are just learning anout this step ourselves (the LAST task for us) so cant comment about that yet. And if your husband doesnt speak Greek its time to start studying... weve heard they will require some sort of evidence of his "Greekness"- language, culture, knowledge of history/current affairs etc. This part is not spelled out in our consulate communications but weve heatd this from other sources. They are raising the bar on citizenship so its not as easy as it used to be. Good luck!

    Hi Bart, are you referring to IL's guide on housesitting for luxury homes? If so, you can find it at this link. It looks like we're having some technical issues with the introduction section of that link right now, but if you click on the other sections on the left (such as "What is House and Pet Sitting?") you should be able to access them as long as you're logged into your IL account. If you were looking for something else, please let me know, and I'll try to help you access it.

    It depends on the cost of the prescription in Mexico and Belize. I have been living in China for 11 years, and althought I have my insulin covered, I often just buy extra out of pocket so that I have 6 - month worth of insulin because it is affordable to simply buy it from the pharmacy. You may want to consider that. Or, if possible, stock up now, if your insurance allows you to get more than x months of medicine at once.

    Hi LCURRYTALK2001, While International Living covers destinations outside of the US and Canada perhaps some of our Canadian readers can weigh in on Vancouver which while lovely is indeed one of the most expensive cities in the world. If you're looking for somewhere beautiful with more affordable real estate and where English is the national language you may want to read our website section on Belize (https://internationalliving.com/countries/belize/). Or if you're looking for somewhere with similarly seasonal weather you'll find plenty of info on Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, Uruguay, and Argentina at the main website www.InternationalLiving.com. Best, IL Overseas Editor Jess Ramesch

    Hey, Raine, I just singned up, as well. It was kind of annoying with all the sales pitches. Then, I didn't get my sign in credentials and had to reset my PW to actually get into the site for the first time. I am just now exploring and I hope there is more substance than all the fluff I've seen so far. It seems that everything leads to another upsell. Mike
