Hi all, i just joined few minutes ago. i have a plan moving to Limassol since i get opportunity to work here. But it still a plan because i do not know am i got interviewed or not.

Hey guys -
I've been living on the island for 8 years. My husband is a local; I'm American. I travel to/from the US and Cyprus with our two children a lot. I love the lifestyle in the Mediterranean, and know you guys will love living here as well. Weather, food, people - all fabulous. Plus, as someone who's married to a local, I get all the insider dish on real life here (not just the expat one). So, feel free to shoot me any questions.

Hi! Thank you for contacting. How often do you travel to the states. Lovely to be in touch with home lol

i live in limassol but playing to move to Switzerland now

Hello, I am a Canadian of Lebanese origin.  My husband and I are looking to plan our retirement in Cyprus. He holds both a Canadian and an Irish passport.  We selected Cyprus because of its lovely climate, openness to foreign retirees and proximity to Lebanon where my family lives.  I've only visited Cyprus once and my husband has never been.  We plan to start spending a few weeks a year starting in 2017, to get familiar with the country and culture.  Our retirement is for 4 years from now.  My husband is already retired and is waiting for me to do so .  Any insights on how or where to start to begin our research would be greatly appreciated. 
We live in Toronto which is beautiful.  We are however tired of the Canadian winters.
Cheers.

Hey guys!
I'm an American-Cypriot and have been living on the island for 6 years now. Although I'm  a native, I can't seem to shake my American ways which can at times make me feel like I don't quite ''fit in'' with  my fellow Cypriots!
My husband is practically a local having lived here for 17 years although he is from Georgia. We have two children together and are now in the process of trying to decide whether or not we will permanently reside in Cyprus or have a new start in the US.
I'm trying to get to know the island better and which city would be best for my children to be brought up in. I will be as happy so long as my family is!  We are living in Paphos and considering Limassol.
Best of luck to anyone considering Cyprus and of course, don't hesitate to shoot me a message!

Greetings to all and thanks in advance for any help we can get. My wife and I celebrated our retirement with a 4 month tour of Europe with the intention of applying for a long stay visa to experience living in Malta for a year before committing to residency. On our way, we spent 2 weeks in Limassol and were enchanted with Cyprus and the lifestyle it seems to offer. We are both Australian citizens (I also retain my New Zealand citizenship) and have a small retirement pension, so will not require any financial support from the government and own our own home in Australia which we will sell to fund the purchase of a home in Cyprus in the future. However, we still want to experience living in Cyprus for a year rather than being a tourist. I have not seen any reference to an extended visa for retired, non EU nationals. How can we legally stay in Cyprus (we both would like to stay in the Pafos area) for more than the 90 day Schengen limit?
Cheers
David

I dont have any experience of the visa requirements other than to read the pages here http://www.cyprusvisa.eu/cyprus-eu-resi … forms.html

However i do have 6 yrs experience of living permanently in Malta and my advice by all means try it you may like  it.. But my personal opinion for what its worth is Cyprus is far better and by a long long way

Hi all, just registered on the site.....moved to Cyrpus about 3 months ago after spending the last 10 years+ in Latin America (mainly Brazil).  Looking to make friends, see what the island has to offer, and generally make the most of living here!

Am a single guy, very outdoors / sporty person - so if anyone has any tips or cool invitations for me then many thanks!!

Hi,
My name is Lisa & I live in Tala, Paphos.

My husband is serving in the RAF & I am ex RAF. We loved our posting to RAF Akrotiri that much that we decided to buy a house & move here permanantly.

Our kids go to local school in Tala, where they have settled in very well & picking up the local language very quickly :-)

We have recently just bought Riley's fish n chip restaurant on Tomb of the Kings, Paphos & officially opened for business on 1st Sep.... so far, so good :-)

I look forward to meeting new people, making friends & enjoying life in this beautiful country :-)

Hi Lisa,

We're moving to Cyprus this summer, and while we haven't decided on the exact spot to settle yet, we liked Tala a lot, especially the views the higher you go up the hill. What are your thoughts on the pros and cons of living in Tala?

You also mentioned your children went to the local school over there. We have a three-year old daughter, and we'd like her to attend school in Greek, but since we've read so many bad things about public schools, we're still wondering what to do. How are yours doing?

All the best,

Chrys and Aris

Hi Debbie

My husband and I are moving to Pathos in June.  My husband is retiring, I am 60 and have been ill for past few years, although better now.

We too would like to meet up with newbies, we already know a couple that moved there over a year ago and they have been helpful.

I  have avoided but too much personal imfo on this site as yet as I am unsure of technology and its safety.

Hope we keep in touch, would give you my private email to co respond,  but I think this is a public forum.

Anyway hun , good luck with your move.
