Hello all,
We have finally decided we are going to move over to Cyprus (Paphos area) with our two small children who will be 3 and 7 myself and my husband are in our early 30's, my husband had a secure job working offshore so we are not looking for employment.
Im so excited but there are a lot of important issues I need to know so Im hoping that someone will kindly give me some sound advice....
1. IMMIGRATION....Do we arrange an appointment once we have moved over to apply for residency and how do we do this do we need to email or phone them? and what should we expect. Does ths basically entitle us to live in Cyprus.
2. DRIVING LICENCE....(I have read on other threads you can apply for a Cypriot driving licence) Do we need to apply for a Cypriot driving Licence and when?
3. PASSPORTS.... what do we do once our 10 year passports expire and 5 years for the kids, how do we renew them and can we if we are living in Cyprus.
4. MEDICAL CARDS.... Im totally lost on the whole medical issue Ive read loads of threads but they all seems to relate to retired people who get free health care. Do we have to apply for medical cards and what does this entitle us to, would it be recommended to take out private medical insurance having two small children.
5. SOCIAL INSURANCE...What is this and how do we arrange to pay this ( Is it like our NI)
Im so confused but I feel this is so important.
