If my recent experiences are anything to go by, yes, definitely. We are in 'failed state' territory.

My recent experiences have been the contrary. Last year received a fairly large (5 figures) tax refund from HMRC within weeks of submitting the assessment. This year, I applied online for a counter passport service - made online on the evening of 31st December 2023 (pretty rock and roll lifestyle!), selected Saturday the 5th January, as flying to UK from NL, all confirmed on 3rd Jan. Once checked in on the Friday morning, at AMS, I found a mail in my spam folder, saying I needed a letter from my employer as I was asking for a second passport. I called the help line and was through within 5 minutes, explained I already had a second passport which was also going to expire shortly, and I was not intending to renew it. I was instructed to just submit both for cancellation, and there would be no issues. On Saturday afternoon, I got off the Elizabeth Line at Custom House at 14:00, and at 14:20 I was back on the platform waiting to go back into town!

Have a look here - some NAAs seem quite pragmatic: https://www.enac.gov.it/en/safety-se...nces-issued-by
