Message from the British High Commission in Cyprus to UK expats:
In the
event of a No Deal, the Cyprus authorities have given a grace
period until the end of December 2020 for those British residents already in
Cyprus who have not yet registered and those that arrive in Cyprus before 31st
October 2019.
Announcement
from Civil Registry & Migration Dept here: No deal grace period
In the
event of a Deal, the previous agreement on Citizens Rights will
stand, with a transition period up to the end of December 2020, this also
covers new arrivals into Cyprus up to the end of the transition period
(originally published in August 2018, albeit based on EU Exit being 29th
March 2019): Citizens
Rights in a deal scenario
After
31 December 2020, existing MEU residency documents may be replaced by a smaller
residency card or other form of documentation, as noted at the end of
page 7 in the above document.
Civil
Registry & Migration Dept have published a lot of guidance here: CRMD pages
We
would also like to direct folks to our Living in Cyprus guidance here which
covers Brexit, residency, healthcare, driving licenses etc: LIG
This
is a handy document from the European Commission: UK
Nationals in the EU in a no deal
We still recommend that people formalise their residency
status at the earliest opportunity and reiterate the fact that old brown ARC
books, stamps in passports & old Immigration Permits issued pre Cyprus
joining the EU are obsolete.
