CYPRUS RESIDENTS PLANNING GROUP
The new website is up and running - www.crpg.com.cy
The site is dedicated to assisting all UK nationals who are either already living in Cyprus or who are planning to live in, and possibly retire to, Cyprus.
Part of CIFSA and supported by the British High Commission, CRPG will provide a 'go to' web-based hub and dedicated Help Line offering independent, professional advice regarding all aspects of living, working and/or retiring in Cyprus. In particular, we want to offer extra assistance to people who find it difficult to navigate systems and processes due to their age, disability or other vulnerability.
The Help Line no is 99 826087, Monday to Friday, 9am to 1pm
Please note that there will a change in the law from 2023 and further information is awaited. But, as a heads up, please note that for travel from Cyprus to Europe and Schengen countries, there will be the following two options for 'third country nationals', as UKexpats now are:
Option 1
UK Passport and biometric
card allows travel anywhere in Europe including Schengen countries
UK Passport, existing MEU document [ie non-biometric] plus Schengen visa – Visa can be obtained online at https://www.schengenvisainfo.com/
Once further information is available, including whether there will be a 'fast-track' to upgrade existing MEUs to biometric, etc, this will be provided.
