We also had to provide copies of all bank statements. The Cypriot statements had to be certified by a bank official no more than 48hrs prior to our Immigration interview.

I believe that Non-EU citizens have to have some kind of blood test to prove they do not have hepatitis, TB or AIDS. But I have only been told second hand so I don't know any details.

We were told EU citizens need at least €8000 each in the bank to qualify as self-sufficient. I don't know if the same thing applies for Non-EU citizens.

According to Cyprus immigration, if you intend to stay in the country for more than 3 months when you arrive then you have to tell immigration within a week of your arrival. You then have to apply and obtain a temporary residence permit within four months of your arrival, unless you have a visa that says something different.

All people coming to Cyprus to stay have to have comprehensive medical cover. What that means depends on where you come from, but for most, it means Private Health Insurance.
