Purchasing a car in Cyprus

Hi as long as you have an immigration appointment you can buy a car

Thats what our experience was anyway

Usually need to be a legitimate resident.. they have been tightening the rules ... .however if you can prove intent to be legally resident by way of an immigration appointment documentation they may well allow the purchase.. but in think you will still need to produce the residency permit at some stage to get the legal.vehicle log book

Can a UK citizen buy a car in Cyprus?

To drive or purchase a car in Cyprus and transfer the deed in your name you need a valid license from your home country and a certificate of motor insurance. You do not need to have a residency permit before you purchase a motor vehicle. Insurance can be arranged on your UK or Russian driving license.... But , I believe the laws have changed now !

@MyCandyGirl used to be able to .. but not now

One quick word of caution. In Cyprus one has to renew one's driving license after age 70. license is ONLY VALID for 3 years and need a Doctors letter (FORMAT can get this from any Citizens advice Bureau.)

my doctor calls it the "you are not senile" letter (haha) but serious please check this out 

If you owned a car pre brexit does this change anything ?

Hello everyone,

Owning a car pre-Brexitrexit does this change anything ?

This could be the title of a very interesting thread to be discussed on the Cyprus forum.

Cheers,
