85TL is one way charge to Madrid.

Euro 25 will be added to cost of passport (standard size) Euro 163 to return the passport to British High Commission. All deducted by creditcard

We recently renewed a passport sending it via DHL from Cafe Boss. Excellent and hassle free,came back to High Commission in Lefkosia just 3 weeks later despite sending on 19th December (height of Christmas mail).

I have to say that renewing via Spain means the cost virtually doubles overall - approx £160.00 total as opposed to £72.00 if you renew whilst in the UK.

Hello

So sorry, can't remember the cost and I have hunted for the receipt but must have thrown it out. I think it was about £10 but if you call into Cafe Boss they will advise you of the cost - no obligation. Can only say they seem very effiicient and we were very happy with the service.

Incidentally have also had goods shipped by DHL to the office in the South - again good service and a saving on excess baggage charges
