 No via required for EU citizens moving to Cyprus
by: Helen

Hi Rachael

I'm absolutely sure you do not need a visa if you already are a citizen from an EU country. There is free movement of citizens between countries in the EU.

You will need to pop along to the local immigration office to register that you have arrived in Cyprus and intend to stay for x months/years. There is a small fee to pay and then you get what's called an "alien" card. That is maybe what you have read in terms of "paperwork" required but it's not the same as a visa. Those are only required by non EU nationals wishing to visit Cyprus.

 Moving to Cyprus from the UK
by: Helen

Hi Rachael

You don't need a visa to come and live in Cyprus if you are an EU citizen (Cyprus joined the European Union in 2004). I believe you are from the UK?

As far as other paperwork goes, just make sure you get the appropriate medical form (the "E" form for receiving reciprocal health care in another EU country) in case of any illnesses.

Enjoy Cyprus!

Helen
