With less than six months to go until the day Britain officially leaves the EU, now is the time for UK nationals who wish to live in Cyprus, to ensure that they are registered as legal residents in our country.

All British nationals who live in Cyprus should apply for a MEU1 or MEU3 to make sure that they are lawfully resident and that their rights continue to be protected post-Brexit.

We have an estimated number of approximately 5,000 people who might need help to collate and complete all of the necessary paperwork, whilst some of them are facing challenges to do so, since they might be living in remote areas or have mobility issues.

According to the official information from the Cyprus Civil Registry and Migrant Department, British nationals have to register as a Cypriot resident if they are planning to stay in Cyprus for more than three months.

We operate a free-to-view policy, asking only that you register in order to read all of our content. Please login or register to view the rest of this article.
