Professional Removals to and from Cyprus Regal Moving & Storage

If you’re planning a move from the UK to Cyprus, there are several important steps to consider to ensure a smooth relocation. UK citizens can stay in Cyprus for up to 90 days within a 190 day period without a visa. For longer stays, especially if you intend to live, work, or study, you’ll need to apply for residency through the Cyprus Civil Registry and Migration Department.

Cyprus has two distinct regions: the Republic of Cyprus (EU member) and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (only recognised by Turkey). Most relocations from the UK are to the south, where EU rules apply. If you’re moving to the Republic of Cyprus, registering your residency, securing health insurance, and setting up a local bank account are priority steps. Health care is available via the General Healthcare System (GESY), and private options are also widely used.

Property access can vary, especially in historic or rural areas. Narrow streets or steep terrain in places like Paphos, Limassol, or Nicosia can present logistical challenges. Planning for vehicle access and unloading is important and may require tailored transport solutions, in which we will handle.

If you’re importing a UK-registered vehicle, you’ll typically need to register it in Cyprus within six months. This process includes customs clearance, roadworthiness testing, and compliance with local regulations. It’s advisable to check whether your vehicle qualifies for tax relief under personal effects allowances.
