Toon, the earliest we could move would be September. My plans could just about cope with the new criteria but it means selling our UK home and burning all our bridges. We have been to Cyprus many times on holiday and I had two tours when in the military one with the UN. But, I think that is different to living there. I really wanted to rent for a year or two and keeping my UK home in case it all went pear shaped.- @MacGeorge8035
In the words of Captain Darling in Black Adder “Bugger”. Portugal looks nice- @MacGeorge8035
@ridata2001, That looks like good news to me. I am happy to go down the temporary residency route for a few years. If we do want to become permanent residents later on, I should be able to meet the criteria as outlined.
@ridata2001, I am an optimist who lives with a pessimist so burning bridges would be fine with me, less so my OH.

@ridata2001, we have no real preference at the moment. We know both the East and West of the island I have a holiday let booked for 6 weeks in November over near Larnaca. Once in situ we will firm up the area we want to be in.
On 27 May, 2022 the Cabinet approved amendments to the regulations governing how immigration permits may be granted to foreign nationals.Though these amendments need to be approved by parliament they are quite significant and will have an impact on non EU nationals requiring to live in Cyprus
@ridata2001, Interesting point about moving from temp to permanent residency. Me and my OH were discussing this last night. TBH we feel we could probably make the new criteria but we would have to sell our UK home, after being on the island for 5 years should be enough time to decide whether we want to make it our home. I did say to my OH that we could cancel the whole thing, she threatened me with physical violence

@Toon, thanks still waiting for a reply to my earlier query from the immigration office. I must admit to being more confident about the move now.
