Re: What happened to the Boris posts

Re: What happened to the Boris posts
Being in the EU, expats have the right to settle here, work here, and all the rights Cypriots have, health care, etc etc etc, all that goes out of the window the minute the UK exits the EU.
Re: What happened to the Boris posts
Presently there is no signed reciprocal medical agreement between EU countries and the UK, this is dependent on the conditions offered by the UK to the 3 million plus EU citizens residing in the UK.
Over the weekend Blojo decided there would be no special treatment for them to which Spain responded that the same position would apply to British living in Spain and they would not have access to medical treatment. There is every possibility in the case of a no deal Brexit that come November 1st those that use the Cyprus government medical facilities will not have medical cover.
All the information is available on line, as WHL posted some are in for a big shock..

Re: What happened to the Boris posts
You are already here Trev, no one knows yet, you might have to register every year etc, leaving with a no deal then anything is possible, newcomers will probably face the above problems, re living/working/heath issue.
Re: What happened to the Boris posts
Presently the GESY becomes void after 31st October unless an agreement is signed; there is NO agreement in place in the case of a No Deal Brexit
At the moment our right to own property in Cyprus is guaranteed under EU Law but after Brexit, who knows what will happen; unlike Brexiteers I've never been one to gamble with our home or the wellbeing of my family.

Re: What happened to the Boris posts
Stated on here before, that not only 'might' UK immigrants in Cyprus not be able to use the GESY System post-Brexit, they won't be able to go to the UK for free treatment. What will happen re property nobody knows? Unlikely to affect that, I'd say.
