Cyprus residency for British national
I would like to ask how the procedure works for UK nationals to establish Cyprus residency if it is done this year (2020) ?
-i.e. the requirements for UK passport holders to get residency ?
-the application form?
-any supporting documentation and information that is required?
Thank you in advance for your advice on this matter !

Re: Cyprus residency for British national
Hi, Just wanted to follow up on my message. Also had an additional question. What will be the difference ( requirements and application process) if I apply for Cyprus residency in 2021 ( assuming that UK Nationals will no longer be treated according to the process like EU citizens) ? Thanks in advance for your advice!

https://www.angloinfo.com/how-to/cyp...n-certificates (for if it's done before 31 December this year). There is no information yet that I'm aware of on a reciprocal agreement between UK and Cyprus, but would love to hear different if someone else knows?

Thanks for your reply Red Wine Fairy. As I understand If I come to Cyprus before the end of 2020 and get residency it will be according to the conditions as per EU citizens. If I get residency in 2020 and my family who are not British and not EU citizens arrive later i.e next year (2021) can they also get residency or is that only possible if they also arrive before the end of 2020?

Re: Cyprus residency for British national
Hello, I just wanted to follow up on my last message. My question is if I come to Cyprus in 2020 and get residency ( MEU 1 certificate as a UK national) does it mean that my wife and child (not British and not EU) need to also arrive in Cyprus in 2020 to get their residency (MEU 2 certificate) or is it possible for them to arrive later (2021) ?

I'm afraid I'm not in Cyprus and won't be for several years, so I'm watching with interest how things transpire post-transition. I am not a lawyer, and I think you need to talk to one about your specific situation. EU law allows for foreign spouses of EU citizens to join them (although member states can also have their own individual rules around this (eg if language, criminal, or health checks are needed beforehand). The UK will have left transition at the end of the year and I honestly have no idea if it will be possible to bring them to join you after this time, as you will no longer be an EU citizen, just a Brit with a residence permit. There will likely be a way, but the cost and conditions of visas, I can't help you with - sorry. You need a Cypriot lawyer for this.
Unless you are of course rich enough to buy the golden visa, then I think there is no issue.
Here is the government website, I hope that you can find what you need here CIVIL REGISTRY AND MIGRATION DEPARTMENT - Migration Section
