Hi everybody
Well that's it we have done it! After many years planning we are finally here and two years ahead of schedule.
So we are sitting back and relaxing after one of the most stressfull weeks of my life.
Here's to a very happy life in Cyprus and thanks to everybody for all their support and advice - we couldn't have done it without you.
Many thanks
Yvette

Take the time now to relax and chill out for a while until you find your feet. Then get on and enjoy the rest of your life

Now you are here how about telling us, especially those who might also be toying with the move, what advice it was that was
of particular use to you.
How did you get on for example with:
1. Buying or renting a property?
2. Registering with immigration?
3. Registering for tax here?
4. Sorting out health care?
5. Sorting out a car?
6. Personal effects from UK?

I suppose I better publish the directory then. You can tell me how useful it is.

Geoff Yvette is already well established on the island, she needs no guidance ..you were of course not to know this fact.

In fairness to Geoff, he wasn't offering guidance, he was asking what advice she found useful.

Hi all
Thanks for the warm welcome.
We are living in Stroumbi. We have had property here for 3 years but 12 years in total in Cyprus. We have a car but as yet have not registered for tax or with immigration- is it after 3 months?
Our personal belongings are being shipped over with a well established firm from Paphos
One more question- what do we do about changing our driving licence?
Many thanks
Yvette

Hi Yvette,
Just beat you by one day we arrived on Wednesday, what a start 26C and today been on my bike for a 35mile ride in shorts and short sleeve jersey.
Already feels like home, enjoy and embrace it like I am sure we will.

Welcome Yvette. I was not trying to be nosey, but as Dominic said just curious as to which advice you found most useful.
Geoff.

Ok we have established that Geoff's question was reasonable. Let's just move on now.
