Re: MUKW3 and Driving Licence Question

Kili01 - I also agree. As someone who is back and fore to Cyprus, it makes sense for me to use an agent. Otherwise, I’d spend valuable time sorting out issues. The MUKW3 took only 3 months with an agent and 15 minutes in the immigration office. Gwenny also sorted out our car import a few years ago f...

Re: MUKW3 and Driving Licence Question

It turns out that the requirement to swap a UK licence to a Cypriot licence isn’t currently being enforced for permanent residents. The advice I have now is that I should keep my UK licence unless I live in Cyprus full time or are asked to do so my the police….. so a trip to the transport office is ...

Peyia Hand Made Pot Man

Hi

Does anyone know how I can find the man who drives around Peyia in the summer announcing over a loud speaker ‘hand made pots’. They are great quality and much cheaper than garden centres.

MUKW3 and Driving Licence Question

My permanent residency was granted in September last year and I received my card in November. I understand that I now need to swap my UK driving licence for a CYP licence. Has anyone gone through this process or can anyone help me understand the process and deadline.
Kind regards
Jon

Re: Passport Stamp & MEU3

From the UK Gov website We strongly recommend that you request the MUKW residence document. While MEU documents remain valid until their expiry date, the MUKW residence document shows that you have the rights defined in the Withdrawal Agreement. The biometric card is more durable and it will simplif...

Re: Crown Resorts Horizon Is Being Reborn

Investment at last. Hopefully the Thalassa and Ascos will be next and they will start the pedestrianisation of the strip too. That then just leaves the Marina 🤣

Re: Passport Stamp & MEU3

Yes it is. The 90 day rule still applies to Schengen countries as you are a third country rather than EU national.

Re: From Coral Bay to Agios Georgios - With Commentary!

Worth noting that this road includes some of the very best places for sundowner drinks - Porto Antico, Oniro, Sentiero, Sea Caves, Bar at Cap St George, etc.

MUKW/Cyprus Driving Licence

Hi Everyone We started our permanent residency process in July, received an interview last week and now have our MUKW residency numbers. Just waiting for the laminated cards. Aside from the amount of information we were required to supply it was a straightforward process. Next step is to swap our UK...

Re: The Last Castle / Viklari

Yes, it’s open. Coming from Peyia, turn right at Fusion/Namos and keep on that road all the way to the little white church. Keep going past the white church (with the church now on your left). At the T junction turn right and keep on that road. Eventually you come out at the entrance to Avakas Gorge...

Re: Immovable Property Tax

So this is my story... I bought an Aristo villa in 2006 and had to wait until around 2010 to get the deeds. Lots of nonsense about Aristo/Peyia Municipality needing to sign off the whole development (only 16 villas in total and a communal pool). It was very frustrating as Aristo needed to come back ...

Re: Immovable Property Tax

Thanks HIC, I’ll email him. First Direct have also given me an address to send the cheque to for conversion but couldn’t confirm the fees. A few hundred euros isn’t a big deal but it’s irritating that it isn’t easy to cash. I didn’t expect to get a refund as didn’t pursue one so I was surprised to g...

I tried but we weren’t in Cyprus long enough to go through the admin. Opening accounts isn’t as straight forward as it used to be.
