Originally from netherlands. Expat in cyprus.
Default Car from UK to Cyprus

Hello all!

First of all thank you for all of your information regarding the import of a car in Cyprus. I am afraid though that my case is a bit more complicated and i have tried to read the cyrpyotic legislation on the issue but it is all a bit cryptical.

Here is my problem:

1. I am a Dutch citizen (currently living in Bucharest - Romania) I have no address in Holland or in UK.
2. For this reason i cannot register cars in Holland on my name and I assume that this is the same in UK.
3. I can buy a car in UK and have it shipped to Cyprus but...the papers will not be in my name. Can i clear the car in Cyprus?
4. Is there anybody who can tell me how i can have a car in UK registered in my name? Can i have it insured?

If i read the very detailed story about the paperwork and all the procedures, including the need to have a car at least 6 months registered on my name, then i think i am without any chance to have any car registered in Cyprus. I will move to Cyprus permanently from June 1.

If i was not clear please ask me. I hope some of you can give me some advise as the car that i need in Cyprus will have to be a RHD....

Thx in advance.
