No she realised at the last minute that we were not supposed to pay. I confirmed this but when she said she had typed in the address exactly as it said I began to wonder!
Yes, many think its the new system kicking in already. A few have already been caught out this year. It is a legitimate company though apparently, but the cheek of it! I really feel for folk who don't subscribe to one of these planning forums and therefore are none the wiser. I was curious and googled the topic and that site that charges comes up top of the list on several search engines. They are obviously quids in at the moment. Besides, the new charge is propsed at about $10, not £25. Very naughty of them
I think it is alway made worse by the fact that even the 'Official' site does not look very official.
I checked and saw all of ours are still valid from our last trip in September 09 - although my daughters passport needs to be renewed so we will have to get hers again. As we will have a different accommodation address this year I wondered whether we all needed to renew - if anything it may be worth it before the $10 fee/tax comes in to cover us for longer - any thoughts??
Just get new for everyone while they are free.
I do new ones before every trip, August 09, Easter 10 and will be doing again next week ready for August 10, hopefully 2 years before we have to pay.
I also did new ones, even although the old ones are still valid. If I hear anything definite about an approximate date for them to begin charging, I will do a new one again just to extend my free window.
