Hello, I could use some advice, please. I've recently moved to Cyprus from the UK and I'm having some difficulty with the Department of Labour and Social Insurance. My wife and I both applied for self-employed status (as required by the ...

Thanks, JMOR22. Did you fill in the same immigration form, the MEU1? Read More

Thanks, Toon. Do you know which form it is we would have to fill in? Also, what level of funds are we talking about? Sorry, I find all of this pretty confusing! Read More

Thank you! This could be what we need, but can I just make sure I understand what you mean? You applied to the social insurance department as visitors rather than residents. To do this you filled in form A1. Immigration accepted this because they ... Read More

I asked an accountant to apply for social insurance. She has been back and forth with the department, trying to find out why they rejected our previous applications and what their requirements are. They have told her that they will not register us ... Read More

Thanks Toon, that's helpful. It seems like such a shame to have to pay to do something so basic though. We don't have SI numbers as the department hasn't replied to our application yet. It's been 6 weeks, I think. We've ... Read More

Current Residency Requirements by Toon
For the benefit of those people who dont know of the requirements when exercising EU FoM this is what you need to do if you wish to live in Cyprus (MEU1 temporary residency application) - other EU countries have very similar requirements that MUST ...

Thanks, Toon! Much appreciated. That does make things more complicated though. I'll try to find an understanding landlord! I have to admit this freedom of movement business is less free than I expected... Moving to Hong Kong was simpler, ... Read More

Hi Toon, Sorry to resurrect this old thread, but I've just had a thought. Will the migration department insist upon a minimum length of rental contract? I've been thinking about going for a 6 month contract if possible as we're not ... Read More

Hello all, Is it possible to open a Cypriot bank account from abroad? My wife and I are moving to Cyprus this year and we would like to have a bank account waiting when we arrive. It will make moving money easier. We'll need to take several ...

Thanks, Toon. You're helpful as ever! I'll try that instead. Read More

Thank you for the above information. I have to say I’m still slightly confused though. I’ve looked at lots of websites and they all have different requirements on them! I’m a self-employed British citizen and I hope to move to ... Read More
