Interesting Facts About Cyprus:The Republic of Cyprus is divided into six districts: Nicosia (the capital), Famagusta, Kyrenia, Larnaca, Limassol and Paphos. The third largest island in the Mediterranean Sea (after Sicily and Sardinia), Cyprus is situated in the eastern Mediterranean, just south of the Anatolian peninsula (or Asia Minor) of the Asian mainland; thus, it is often included in the Middle East. Turkey is 75 kilometres (47 mi) north; other neighbouring countries include Syria and Lebanon to the east, Israel to the southeast, Egypt to the south, and Greece to the west-north-west.
Cyprus was declared an independent state on August 16, 1960. The new state’s constitution, as defined by the Zürich and London Agreements, explicitly recognised the two main ethnic communities in Cyprus: the Greek Cypriot community with approximately 65% of the population and the Turkish Cypriot community with approximately 35% of the population
In 1974, following a period of violence between Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots and an attempted Greek Cypriot coup d’état sponsored by the Greek military junta of 1967-1974, Turkey invaded and occupied one-third of the island. This led to the displacement of thousands of Cypriots and the establishment of a separate Turkish Cypriot political entity in the north.
Education in Cyprus.Cyprus has a well-developed system of primary and secondary education offering both public and private education. The high quality of instruction can be attributed to a large extent to the above-average competence of the teachers: in stark contrast to attitudes towards teaching prevalent in most developed countries, being a (state) school teacher (elementary or high-school) is one of the most sought-after professions in Cyprus thanks to the good employment conditions (unassailable job security, more than adequate compensation package, generous vacation package), but also due to the lack of viable alternatives for many university graduates. However, while there are hundreds of candidates for each new teaching position, appointments are not made on the basis of merit, but in a first-in, first-out fashion according to the date of completion of the candidates’ university studies.
Transportation in Cyprus.Since the last railway was dismantled in 1950, the remaining modes of transport are by road, sea, and air. Of the 10,663 km of roads in the Greek Cypriot area as of 1998, 6,249 km were paved, and 4,414 km were unpaved. As of 1996 the Turkish Cypriot area had a similar ratio of paved to unpaved, with approximately 1,370 km of paved road and 980 km unpaved. Cyprus is one of only four EU nations in which vehicles drive on the left-hand side of the road, a remnant of British colonization.

Retiring to CyprusIf you are retired or retiring to Cyprus; if your stay in Cyprus is to exceed three months you need to apply for a residence permit. You may apply for this, a resident’s permit, as a retired person and will be given a permit renewable after five years.
Employment in Cyprus.For the issue of a residence permit for employment the following documents are required;
- A valid passport or identity card and a photocopy of it with which the EU National entered the Republic.
- A confirmation of engagement from the employer or a certificate of employment stamped by the Labour Department of the Ministry of Labour and Social Insurance, in which the duration and type of the work provided by the employee is stated and
- Two (2) recent passport sized photographs
Completion of the formalities for obtaining a residence permit do not prevent the immediate employment of the applicant.
Nationals of any Member State who are going to provide or accept services in Cyprus, should first secure the relevant professional permit required by relevant Laws of Cyprus before they apply for work and residence permits.
Transfer of a Private Vehicle in CyprusPersons who wish to transfer a vehicle to Cyprus from an EU country are required to furnish proof of residence outside the Republic for 12 consecutive months prior to the transfer of their normal residence. They must also, in accordance with the relevant legislation, present evidence of the transfer of their normal residence and of permanent establishment in the Republic.
Each person may transfer only one vehicle, and the person making a transfer must hold a valid driving licence. The vehicle may not be sold, placed for sale, hired out or commodated (loaned without payment) without the prior approval of the Director of the Department of Customs and Excise.

2. They had their permanent residence abroad for a period of at least 10 yrs. 3. Duty does not exceed USD15000.
In order to qualify for relief from excise duty, the person transferring the vehicle must produce the following documents:
• certificates pertaining to the registration of the vehicle (vehicle insurance, the purchase invoice,
• the certificate of ownership • the receipt for the purchase • the loading list receipt • a valid driving licence • supporting evidence relating to the country of normal residence (income tax statements, social insurance statements, employment letters, etc.).
In order to be registered in Cyprus, a vehicle being transferred by a European citizen must be given a technical inspection by a private technical inspection centre before undergoing the relevant inspection by a state Technical Inspection Centre.
After the vehicle has passed both of the technical inspections it can be registered in accordance with the relevant legislation. A private motor vehicle or a power-driven goods vehicle with a gross weight not exceeding three tonnes may be registered in the Republic regardless of its age subject to the furnishing of documentation proving that the first registration of the vehicle occurred in an EU Member State.
