Things I forgot to mention... The cost of the actual immigration application was €140 per person = €560 in total. Private Health Insurance is something you have to have to get through immigration = €130 per person (I forgot exactly, but it's around that number). Refuse Tax = €145 per annum due in November.
As a Traveller the Problem us Brits have is we can only stay in any EU Country for a Max of 3 Month. I am in my 60s and next year i am buying a Scooter and leaving the UK , i intend to tour and live in a Tent at Camp sites. Believe me it's not as cheap as it sounds , £50 a day to live on.
@@paulfensome1404It is worth pointing out that the Cypriot 90 day rule is NOT the Schenzen zone EU rule. Cyprus is currently not in the Schengen zone. The Cypriot 90 day rule is a visa requirement that can be extended with consultation with the Cypriot High Commission.
I thought that a UK citizen wasn't able to move abroad permanently after we left the EU? I don't blame you moving abroad and looking after your family. I also would like to move abroad. I don't recognise my own town anymore, over run by migrants. I feel like a foreigner in my own country, and the sad thing is its only going to get worse.
@@YanksandBritsProductions Thanks for taking the time to reply. I was under the impression that a Brit could only go to say Spain for 90 days per year on a visa. So would it be possible to live there provided I paid them to do so? Thanks.
Moved to Cyprus 23 years ago - a really good decision. Do I miss the UK? Yes, but that old UK doesn't exist any longer. When I do visit the UK I'm shocked at how the government's have allowed it to decline so much. So very sad!
You watch too much news on tv, move to move abroad if you do not like it in the UK , the country would be better off without people like you winging all the time, try Cyprus mate, Rents sky high, food more expensive than UK, the grass is not always greener on the other side
It’s SAD that the U.K. has become so crap and expensive that moving abroad becomes a no brainer. The U.K. has become a failed country. Well done on escaping
Try Cyprus mate , rents are sky high, food more expensive than here, you need to run your air con 24 hours a day with 40 degrees heat and your electricity bills run sky high, cars cost nearly double and you can smoke your self to death on cheap tobacco, if that does not kill you then the raging 40 degrees heat and wild fires will, or you will end up with skin cancer from over exposure to uv rays, oh i forgot you get free hot water from the solar panels whoopee
Cyprus is amazing. Left UK years ago and it was the right decision. Problem with most of the English who come here though is that they do not learn Greek or integrate. They stay in brit enclaves like Peyia and eventually feel isolated and bored. The trick is to learn the language and integrate with the locals, then you will enjoy the very rich and fulfilling life the island offers
@@KimThomas- that's not what people complain about. Notice how there's many Chinese/Cantonese here who don't learn the language or integrate yet nobody has a problem with that. It's much deeper than that.
Im movin to the countryside of Spain. Humans are the cause of many problems, plus the cost of living. Id be happy never to see another human again in my life, just having my pets. No two facedness; backstabbers; greed; aggression, you can keep your humans. Life is better living the simple life surrounded by nature and animals for company.
You exist within a society of humans that enables you to do thius - to supply your energy, food, material of life . Without any other humans - or a society of humans to deliver this you couldn't have the life you seek.
If you walk into a room and there is someone you don’t like, that person might be a dick, but if you walk into a room and you don’t like everyone there, maybe the dick is…….
I guess it’s the government that gets drunk abroad and gives all the brits a shit name abroad ? Move…don’t move but blaming someone else is so weak minded and lazy.
It's not your government! It's the banking cartels government. All political parasite are employed by the central banks. The elite think tank that is coming up with all these disastrous policies is the WEF. Same here in Ireland.
Let's be honest. The UK is ready for some Wat Tyler action. It needed to happen 20 years ago and I am afraid it is now far too late. The communists and foreigners have the upper hand. it is done. The only answer is escape. Trad avenues of escape are closing. for example Aus and NZ are as bad if not worse. Canada is now a socialist 'paradise' under Trudeau. I escaped to the USA in 84 but it was a nightmare move. it took a total of 15 years from landing to citizen. After traveling the world I am now settled. I will never leave the USA again. I have everything here. Tropics, mountains, deserts and forests. A walk into Mexico for dental work and decent immediate medical care for a reasonable cost here in the USA. Social security pays me enough that I actually save $300 a month. I look at Britain and the state of the place and it breaks my heart. 💔💔💔
@@martynbeaumont1100 so you people are leaving the uk and saying it’s a dump it’s changed it’s full of migrants… i’m sure the natives of wherever you have gone feel the same about u what a joke u are
Now we have gangs of people pretending to be old furniture and other stuff you don't want collectors. Guess what they do. Fly tipping. You can guess their heritage.
I bought a house in Peyia 24 years ago. Moved out of Peyia this year and moved to Polis. Grandchildren born here 10 and 6 both attend Peyia school and speak fluent Greek. I'm pretty good at reading, writing and speaking Greek too.
We have friends who live in Polis 😀 we are new to Peyia and our kids also go to school here. Both reading their Greek books after 3 weeks, not great but it's a start 😀
We sold up everything the 'YUK' 21 years ago and moved to Cyprus for good. And the best thing we ever did in our lives ! And we get stressed and depressed just thinking about going back there for even a few days ! It takes a while to settle in, but Cyprus grows on you.
@@NuttersInCyprus Hope you are settling in well. There are only a few problems living here like it's far too hot in June, July, August but nowhere is perfect ! Be careful when driving here, but you get use to their ways like no signalling and pulling out in front of you. Barking dogs ! Oh and WW3 is going on next door in Israel. But it shouldn't worry us.
@@MrMackem123 Covid wasn't actually that bad. Because of the weather, they had it pretty controlling on the island. Most people who had it were from the UK or travelling in. That was just before lock down.
I am a Greek Cypriot. In 1986 I repatriated to Cyprus after 34 years in London, looking back, things were safer then , but now 😱 I hope you don't mind me saying but you probably need to be careful in the sun, you could be suffering from heat stroke, or like me when I moved to Cyprus suffered from mild depression for a couple of years, anyway I wish you good health and happiness, I can see that your motivation is the wellbeing of your family... good luck and don't look back ❤❤😊😊
There is a lot of issues with the UK and I was proud to have lived there, served my country, and made my life there. However, everything changed in the last 10 years. This is a fantastic video and much resonates with me when I decided to leave the UK and move to South Korea. Funnily enough, I used to live in Cyprus as my parents were in the Army and we lived in Nicosia. I spent around 5 years in total and absolutely loved it as a kid. Living in South Korea means I don't have to worry about knife crime or being mugged when walking along the street. The people are so friendly and I find them incredibly patient and supportive, despite my limited Korean ability.
I’ve travelled all over Europe, think Cyprus is the cleanest country so far. Loved being in Paphos,drove all around the island in one day,loved it! If I was younger I’d definitely move there, but my kids are adults now and I’m not with their Dad anymore otherwise we would have moved without any regrets…only regret is NOT moving when we could’ve done. Well done for being brave and savvy enough to do it !😉✌🏼
Lots of extremely clean countries in Europe: Austria, Slovenia, Switzerland, Estonia, Lithuania, Norway, Finland, Denmark...pristine nature, lush green
I thought Cyprus had a DMZ straight though the middle. Separating the Greek and Turkish sides. It was around 30 years ago, last time I was in Paphos tho.
Born and bred in uk, but i have fallen short of love for uk, the culture, the arrogance, the selfishness, the rudeness and the rubbish and pot holes, the driving habits, the crime, the corrupt govt... everything is so bad here. Im also looking into moving out but unsure to where i can go? Thank you for the video.
First video I’ve come across, thanks for the info. I lived in Cyprus for 2 years (15 years ago) when I was in the army and been saying recently I’d love to move over there and then this popped up!
How is your family going to survive after all these payments you have made? What income are going to receive from your employer if any to cover on going expense'.🤔 I'm confused 😕
We moved to the UK from Romania 10 years ago and not regret it but it seems to get worse and worse every day . We are doing ok but we are fearing for the future of our kids .
I work with Romanians, polish and other European nationals.. I envy them because if things get even worse here they can always just move back if they really need to.. make sure your kids do well at school so they can achieve a good career then it will give them more options for their future.. wether that’s in the UK or elsewhere.. stay safe there mate 👍🏻
@@Pl89ukmost Romanians in the UK work you knobhead. A certain ethnic minority of Romania will refuse to work and finds lucrative business in stealing, prostitution, subrenting council flats and exploiting the benefits system.
Really appreciate the honesty, I've been to Cyprus for the last 13 years straight (save for covid) and intend to move out there at some point. Cyprus seems a much better life!
Thanks for taking the time to make this open video. The beginning resonated with me. Been thinking of leaving the UK but worried about relocating my 8 year old. But the points you made at the beginning made me think maybe she’s the reason we leave, not the reason we stay. Subscribed
The misses and I moved from London to Serbia just under 4 years ago. Don't miss the UK in the slightest, much better lifestyle. Well done on your choice, I hope it turns out brilliantly for you and the family.
@@NuttersInCyprus got my permanent residency this year. It's extremely cheap to live here, AVG salaries are around €400pm. I'm alright because I work online, but there's an English mate of mine, who got his first salary last month (€400), he owns his house, 2 cars outright and can live comfortably on that. Where most people fail, is they expect the same salary as the UK - which isn't necessary, due to the UK being a rip off. It's a scale of local value of freedom, compared to slave labour to cover your living expenses (UK). And it's bloody safe here, people reserve their seat at a cafe - with their mobile phones 😂🤣 You can't even make a call in London without the fear of it being nicked.
Fair play mate, delighted for you and the family, I moved to Ireland 10 years ago when I noticed the UK was in trouble and no return, and now thinking of moving again because this place is getting the same 🤷🏽♂️😂 I heard Putin was doing good deal
We left the UK to Australia for the same reasons. I ended up being fast tracked due to my trade. Rounded up costs came to about £9000... Bought all our furniture here via container. Don't regret it at all, but, would I move here again? NO... Why? Because Australia is following the same UK model... This, other than financially, doesn't affect us as we live in a small town away from the increase in issues the government are causing.
Well done you sir, the thing is for me... If Cyprus goes the same way as the UK, we'll go to the next place! That's not the plan, but if it has to be, it has to be!
Yes, Canada is the same and virtually the entire English speaking world has gone barking mad due to betrayal by the politicians and the elites. Perhaps Bermuda 🇧🇲 and some small outlying areas are still OK.
It's interesting to read the many comments describing the UK as crap/shithole etc. I live in Chester and really like it. I was born here and moved to Portugal when I was 19 for a bit of adventure. I stayed there for 15 years and moved home when I was 34. I go back to Portugal every year to visit friends and stay a couple of months. I've thought about moving back there, but, to be honest, I think the UK (Chester and surrounding area/south coast where my eldest lives) is very nice. Anyway, good luck to everyone emigrating for a better life.
This is probably the best comment I've seen on this video. My intention wasn't to make it UK vs CY, or heavily immigrant related. However I've had 100s of messages simply saying "so now your an immigrant" like they have had some kind of gotcha moment! Also, there are 100s of comments about UK being a dump. I wouldn't say it's a dump, I would say the number of stabbings is a joke where we lived in the west midlands. The cost of living meant we couldn't live the life we live now. In the UK we would get a take away once a week, now we eat out multiple times a week, go to entertainment events etc and our budget hasn't really increased from our out goings in the UK. Also, I think I've seen maybe 1 crack head here, whereas where we lived in UK, you had to step over them to get into the shops and churches. Again not their fault, but also not something I want to bring my kids up around. these things get worse, not better. Also as I've said before horses for courses, and we all have different circumstances, some live in areas that are a dump, some live in leafy green areas!
I think most people have lost faith with the UK government’s & immigration.. that’s the cause of most people’s issues .. & the weather wears u out after a while
Nose bleeds can be caused by central heating and air con. Both can dehumidify the air too much which dries out your nassal passage. Try a humidifier in your room at night.
Well done mate! Sounds like you and the family have made the right decision. Looking at leaving the Uk myself. Just need to make a decision on where to relocate with the family. Onwards and upwards 👍
Don’t waste another minute move now you will never regret it. We live in Madeira wonderful weather, great people, good food, lower cost of living, vastly improved way of life
@@thelevelupcommunity Hi, Please watch this video it answers your question. Thanks for watching! ruclips.net/video/V59nMwZXquU/видео.htmlsi=NnxU-KY5WNDAb_D_
I live in Larnaca. A couple of things: Water bill comes every 2 months. On average mine has been €80. Also, if you have the big 18.9L water bottles you can get a harder plastic one (we have 2) from Super Home Centre or other hardware places, and then fill them up in a water refill station for €1.20. I use Mr Penguin water. So that would half your drinking water cost from what you said you were paying. :)
You know from the start when the guy speaking is a fellow Mancunian that this is going to be an Epic Video. Right I'm off to Cyprus. I've been thinking about Cyprus for many years and now I know why. ❤
Hearing your reasons for moving away from the UK, it's a no brainer. I lived in a quiet village in Crete, in my 20s and it was a lovely way of life. I'm single and just got too lonely without my family, otherwise i'd still be there now. Everyone was respectful, love their families, Didnt know of anyone on benefits, lived off the land, people are so healthy they glow, they dont go out wanting to fight/stab each other on a night out. And obviously the weather was a Brucey bonus. Good for you, and good for your family.
Way to go! - It's a terrible shame over what's happened to the UK but you are absolutely right in putting yourself and your family first. - As a side note, I wonder what you would find returning to the UK in 10 years time? The trajectory of the country is bonkers. It's not Britain or British anymore. Do you even bother registering to vote in UK elections? So damn sad!
No I don't vote, realistically there are 2 options Tory or Labour, neither party represents me, I think it's a broken system. I just concentrate on progressing myself and my little family and whatever happens around us, I try to navigate best I can.
Sounds a good move. I did 38 years in S.A., back in the UK for 5 years but so disappointed with many things here and would move on again if I wasn't 72. Good luck it will work out fine for you. Regards Colin
@@NuttersInCyprus firstly, I don't see how that would be obvious as you're basing that on the assumption he worked since 16. But more importantly, that wouldn't even cover his state pension. Boomers did us dirty, and there's no denying that.
I feel exactly the same mate. I'm originally from the north east, now living down south. I contemplated moving back to the north east but the more I think about it the more a move abroad seems like the right thing to do. Not just for me but for my wife and girls.
Get yourselves some ceiling fans and don't have the ac on any lower than 23. You'll slowly get used to it. AC doesn't heat very well on cold winter days. Look into alternatives.
Enjoyed that! Stay in Nicosia and made the move 30 yrs ago...still going strong, enjoy going back to the UK for hols at times. As long as someone lasts here for the first couple of years, or a settling period, they'll realise they can stay here.
Well done mate. I’m a 42 year old Brit, was 13 years in NL before returning to UK in 2022, right decision at the time but already planning the next move, always loved Cyprus, will look forward to seeing your experiences 🙏
Grew up in Cyprus. I wish I had never left i was 24 now I live in Scotland. It was a magical place paphos in the late 90s best wishes fella I'm sure you will never look back !
Makes me feel glad to be in Ireland. There’s no bill for me relocating to anywhere in the EU. I’m awaiting another 5 years in Ireland and I’m off to sunnier, cheaper, more relaxing country. Spain (if they don’t go crazy expensive) , Portugal etc on the shortlist. Thailand if the EU fails
Well done for making the move mate, I hope you are enjoying it. I will In terms of the running costs you listed, the Cyprus rent seems more expensive than mine, the electrics, the food as well, my weekly shopping is about £130 per month, but as far as spending money the UK gives us a lot, and when it comes to spending things have been getting worse but again it's not as bad as some other places in the world (that's what the muzlim and middle eastern, african immigrants are coming to the UK for). Money. I've been thinking of moving to Bulgaria, or Spain or Croatia so I will keep watching you videos to see how you get on. I need more courage to move away from the UK.
Hey there! Don't worry too much about the nosebleeds. The air in Cyprus is quite humid and salty, which can cause nosebleeds initially. Your body will likely adjust to it over time. Stay hydrated and take care! I think I’ll soon be moving back to Cyprus!
I left the UK in 2007. Moved to Aus. Best decision I ever made. I can say for sure that I will never move back. Good on you mate for doing the best you could for your young family.
Just get ready for winter, January and February can be cold and the houses are built for heat not cold, so no insulation etc, the air conditioning doesn’t warm the room up the same, ask a local on heat solutions! It will change about mid November to cooler nights, the locals will be in boots and coats , you will still be in shorts! When the snow comes everyone goes to the mountains!
Thanks for the tip! Funny enough when we left the UK, 1 of the very few things we shipped over was a large double electric radiator on wheels :) I knew it would come in handy! Also I brought all my camping gear so we'll fit right in with the locals when we're wearing our hiking gear lol
Yeah, run by a corrupt government and the lemmings that follow them. People with a need for material items at the expense of others. A dirty grey country; bad weather; miserable people; high cost of living and mass immigration. I totally despice the UK and cant wait to leave, in honesty, would struggle to come back to visit. The country holds more bad, than good memories for me. Cant wait to move to Spain and live in the countryside. Already bought a house there in the countryside, sunny and friendly people. The only positive thing my family did for me, was give me the opportunity to get an Irish passport so I can rejoin the EU and move there.
@@leeevans9654 my brother lives there family , 4 kids , we went over to visit them 2 yr ago , drove round where I once use to live and felt cloustraphobia, add that to what you see on the news , 💀🤯 my brother in-law says to me about uk the good times have gone , he is in early 60s . All the governments are to blame . There's is little to no law enforcement. Take care.
I often get nose bleeds when sleeping abroad in air conditioned rooms. Thanks for the vid and explaining the hoops you have to jump through. Enjoy you new life 🙂
Fellow manc, Just been watching a couple of your vids mate, top work, thanks for taking the time to put these together. Me and the misses had very much a similar conversation RE leaving UK on top of all you mentioned, the quality of life just isn't justified with the cost of living over there, not to mention taxes are just unfair, particularly for SMEs. Anyway, we decided to pack up and take the little one out of school and start with a gap year and see where we end up, we are just coming to the end of Europe before we go to SE Asia. But of all the countries in Europe we really liked Portugal (was there for just over a month) and are in Paphos ATM for around 5 weeks and think it's great here. Wish you all the best!
Hello mate, Yeah we like Portugal to, but Cyprus just pipped it for a couple of reasons. If your in Paphos feel free to message on the Nutters in Cyprus Facebook page and we can arrange to bump into each other! Enjoy Paphos R Kid 🙏
I left a toxic vote leave town in 2020 for Athens with two cats and little money. Best thing I ever did. 🌞 good food, very chilled, I literally felt myself slow down within weeks. My professional life has also improved as I took myself out of my comfort zone. New challenges, new ideas. Would highly recommend ☺️
cant wait to go back to Cyprus.. the folks in law lived in Peyia just down the road from the Football ground before they moved bk to uk due to father in laws ill health.. me and the wife are booked for a week holiday without the now grown up kids just off paphos harbour, we both cant wait to return, we looked at moving out there when the folk in law still lived there
Hi Shane. We are planning to move to Italy within the next two years, waiting for son to finish A levels. We’ve been in a bit of a nice bubble where we currently live, but they are building thousands of houses every way you turn & you can probably guess who’s going to be living in those! How are you getting on with residency?
Well done buddy nice to see someone do something for their family and be happy wish I could make the same move but just can’t afford it and worry what happens if money runs out once there

Cyprus is unreal. I’m 25 and listening to you say about the kids being stabbed has always stuck by me with my 2 &4 year old. I’ve signed up for the army in the hopes to get out of this dead end job and build a better future for my mrs and kids, hoping we can live somewhere better than the council estate we’re on now and give them a better future.
@@joanhiggin1134 100% agree. When I didn’t have kids I was joining the Royal Marines and had a start date but got injured prior and then my partner got pregnant. Now I’m going to get a trade and join a commando unit through the army, where maturity and standards are still at a high as opposed to some of the army. Cheers
Good video mate- even breaking it down to the cost of a pint! 😂 I've been back and forth between UK and Cyprus since 2008..originally had a place in Kato Paphos, but we bought a new place in Tala pre-covid. We were lucky to get our MEU1 status before the UK left the European Union, so our costs and the process were less complicated. Good luck to you, man. If you ever fancy a pint in Tala give me a shout- especially if you're a fellow Man Utd fan! 😅
@NuttersInCyprus is always welcome in Tala mate. I'm originally from Gorton, but I moved away from the shit as soon as I could afford to! My travels finally took me to Newcastle, which we split our time between here and the beautiful northeast coast. I've had property here since 2008, so I have learnt lots of lessons the hard way! 😅
Hiya mate - just wondering what you do professionally? I think that's probably the main sticking point for people of a similar age moving over to somewhere like Cyprus, how they can continue working and earning enough to pay the bills. All the best
@realisticallyfit I'm a business consultant. I learnt how to be very organised, then I meet alot of people who have businesses who are looking to scale or they say things like "I'm always busy, I don't get a minute to myself" I then put a system in place for them that gives them more free time. One thing everyone is short of is time. If someone has money, but no time, they will pay good money to get their time back!
@@NuttersInCyprus Nice one mate, sounds like exactly the kind of thing you can offer anywhere with an internet connection - don't blame you for choosing Peyia taking that into account! We lived there for a year back in 2012 - in a little villa opposite the Brewery bar and next to the old footy stadium - great memories, amazing lifestyle. Like you I could work remotely. Hardest thing was keeping myself out of the bars when everybody else is on holiday and that's just your day to day life - tough! Like you, was also a member of Tower Fitness, say hi to Andreas for us. Take care
@realisticallyfit cheers mate! What was your reason for leaving? Alot of people have said the same thing about hard to stay out the bars, I used to be that guy in Portugal, but the kids and a little bit of success made me sort myself out and focus on family and an opportunity that I seen.
@@NuttersInCyprus We planned to live there full time, but then my girlfriend (now wife) became pregnant and we made the tough decision to come back to be close to family. We returned to Cyprus in 2014 when my little girl was just under 2 and got married at a villa in Lower Peyia, not far from Neos Sports Club if you've ever been? We're planning on returning to Peyia for a holiday next year - probably split the time between Paphos area and some time near to Protaras/Ayia Napa - we've been all over the island, and absolutely loved our time there. If you're available for a Leon next summer, would be good to say hello at the Brewery Bar - I'll be drinking Keo! Fellow Northerner like yourself, although I'm white rose instead of red! 😉
@realisticallyfit we did the same mate. Emily wanted to go back to the UK from Portugal to be closer to family! Not been to Neos yet make. Keep meaning to, but just not happened yet. Hopefully, bump into you next summer, unless I've run out of money 😆 🤣
Cyprus is a great place to live if you're retired or don't need a job there (i.e. digital nomad). Hopefully this will improve but definitely not easy finding secure good paying jobs there.
All your reasons are completely valid , everything you said I feel completely the same about. We love Cyprus it's our favourite holiday destination and we are really considering moving out there in the near future for a safer future for our kids.
@@NuttersInCyprus Thanks for replying We are coming in couple of weeks to paphos and I keep telling my partner to move to Cyprus We live in UK and as I said we consider moving to Cyprus and we like paphos especially peyia and Tala and Chlorakas What about the medical cost in Cyprus? I believe it’s much better there than in UK Take care
I like Cyprus but it does have cons. Unbearably hot and humid in the Summer. Imported food is expensive. Barking dogs. Earthquakes. Limited travel options particularly in Winter. They want to join Schengen. But if you can live with those cons, Cyprus is pretty good.
Hi Stevo, thanks for the comment...I can live with those cons, imported food not an issue, barking dogs not had any, earthquakes = 1, weather not an issue. The list I didn't like about the UK was much bigger
June to August it's hard to even leave your house Holidays are much different from living here because you have to make the most of every day.. 2 months of heavy rain in January and February, better than 10 months in England though 👍🏼
Cyprus is good i agree, lived there for a number of years, the only downside in the current climate is the ongoing conflict between Israel and the rest of the world plus the war in Ukraine, Akrotiri is heavily used by the RAF and the USAF / israel for flights and 33SU is the main ELINT site in this part of the world. My point being, you have the Turkish in the north since the invasion in 1974 which was helped along by certain Greeks at the time, so the two SBA areas in the south are a very nice target for the Turks / Russians / Iranians and virtually everyone who is fed up with Anglo-American interference in the countries. Nice part of the world although i'll stick to where i am......NOT in the UK by the way.
@@AnthonyJones-vk6xqI really love a lot of other islands in Greece 🇬🇷. There are some which would be away from some of the geopolitical stresses. Although their immigration crisis may have changed he situation since the time I was there quite a few years ago. What about Malta 🇲🇹 as an option ?
@@lecaprice2572 Malta is way too small, costs are high and although an English speaking country like Cyprus, you would be more likely to hear Eastern european accents ! I used to work in Georgia (the former Russian state) is was excellent, although once again foreign goverments mainly the US and the UK are doing their best to destabilise the place with their meddling to enable the country to enter Europe and become a member of NATO, same plan with Ukraine.
We are thinking of moving to Cyprus we go 4 times a year. I couldn't agree more with you about the uk. It makes me mad how we are letting it go down the pan
Sounds like your paying a fortune out You will neef s job of some description soon . We get to Tala in Paphos regulary and l love it . We bought a villa in 200i7 and yes things are cheaper in Cyprus but it all adds up and goes. You could start offering yourself as a handyman . Folks are always wanting jobs done wether its gardening painting or even driving if you start something it may turn into something decent in time. .Myself im too old in my 70s now i dont want to work I'm happy on UK pension we manage fine yes Cyprus especially over the south west where you are is good .nice and friendly . Bye Ron
Hi Ron, Thanks for watching. I’m the same as you I don’t want to work, we like spending time with each other and the kids. We are not allowed to offer any services as handyman etc due to being on the pink slip, we are not allowed to work here. I like Tala, was at a friends house up there for Souvlaki a couple weeks ago. Cheers Ron, enjoy retirement 🙏
Try water filters, 2 into your property mains etc and 1 onto the tap in the kitchen, a carbon filter that takes impurities and taste out of the water. Saves money and time and cuts out all the recycling! The first 2 could be a 10 micron primary and 5 micron secondary. Not a great capital outlay, this has worked for me, I live in the east of the island. Cheers
I’ve stayed in paphos a few times I love it there from Ireland,rented a villa once and got robbed after 3days everything taken apart from the shorts and t shirt I had on,but I still go there.
I moved to Germany to live next to my only brother. My 3 sisters live in Blackheath Orpington and Stroud all in really nice areas of those places. They have very good lives i suppose because they are all very comfortablly off. What keeps them there are their children and grandchildren.
What is it like to live in Germany? We have visited often and love it BUT now of course: it's been flooded with Gi*mmegr@nts: just like the UK.. Research The Kalergi Plan if you want to know why all of Europe is being destroyed.
Peyia is the British immigrants area so the rents tend to be higher than Greek areas. Work is normally six days a week,not much available outside hospitality and poorly paid. I hated the way they treat animals there and one of my dogs was poisoned.I hadn't realised how common that was until I found out the vets stock poison kits for you to carry when out walking your dog.
Just stumbled across this video. What do you do for work over there? I'd love to move away from the UK but I don't have any "skills"... is there many jobs out there?
@@NuttersInCyprusIf there was not of Brexit you could work freely wherever you wish to within EU. Another downside of UK. You will have to get over obstacles, but I truly wish you luck.
@@NuttersInCyprusHi Can you please explain the pink slip and how you earn offshore? Do you mean you need to work on the rigs or for a company back home?
@Superman-nn4nw you can earn the money anywhere other than Cyprus. I put out another video yesterday, you should watch that I answer of lot of questions on that. Thanks for taking the time to watch it.
Could I ask you what you do for a living / Job out there ?? I lived there for a couple of years returned to UK 2009 They had joined the EU then so did not need any visa's etc to live & work there At the time I worked on maintance at a hotel in Paphos - it was hard work and they wanted you there 24/7 for 600 euro a month - I went there to work less than in the UK (semi retire) but ended up working harder I found the food to be the same price if not more expensive than the UK & fuel for car slightly cheaper than the UK (but not by much) Diesel used to be about 20 cents a litre BEFORE they joined the EU then it shot up I was planning on retiring there - went out in 2019 - 2020 to sort it out The convid !! so never happened !!
Hi Colin, I have investments that keep me ticking over. I agree. I feel the food is the same price as UK, and the steak is more expensive. Haven't noticed on diesel, I haven't even looked at how much a litre if I'm honest, I should really. Sorry to hear the retirement move never happened, maybe some time in the future. 🙏
Hi mate glad you moved.May i ask what kind of immigration visa you took.Do Brits need immigration visa to settle in Cyprus and how it works?Kindly guide us on immigration part of it as that is the real issue after brexit we can't really move any where permanently!
Serious question: Is Cyprus boring? I am in my mid-30ies, no kids, no partner. Been twice for 3 weeks each. But last time I went this year I couldn't help but wonder if it does get boring, especially in off-season? It has a very slow pace. Are you bored at all when coming from a faster-paced country?
Depends what you want from life, we are pretty boring! Also we haven't been here in off season so I can't answer! If you just spend all your days and nights in the bar, then I'd imagine it can get boring. Also when we was in the UK it was pretty boring, school run, work, school run, feed, TV.
So what is so great about the UK making it less boring? Wouldnt class working long hours less boring. The UK has nothing else than having to work long and hard to occupy your mind. Cant think anything more boring. You cant even walk around the UK when you have free time due to the cold, damp and wet climate. What else does it have, shopping and going to the pub, nothing more boring.
@@NuttersInCyprus I don't drink so I wouldn't spend any time in bars or pubs, only restaurants to eat. What was appealing about CY was the outdoor activities, such as hiking etc. but it is quite hot in the summer. Will see.
Things I forgot to mention...
The cost of the actual immigration application was €140 per person = €560 in total.
Private Health Insurance is something you have to have to get through immigration = €130 per person (I forgot exactly, but it's around that number).
Refuse Tax = €145 per annum due in November.
As a Traveller the Problem us Brits have is we can only stay in any EU Country for a Max of 3 Month.
I am in my 60s and next year i am buying a Scooter and leaving the UK , i intend to tour and live in a Tent at Camp sites.
Believe me it's not as cheap as it sounds , £50 a day to live on.

@@paulfensome1404It is worth pointing out that the Cypriot 90 day rule is NOT the Schenzen zone EU rule. Cyprus is currently not in the Schengen zone. The Cypriot 90 day rule is a visa requirement that can be extended with consultation with the Cypriot High Commission.
I thought that a UK citizen wasn't able to move abroad permanently after we left the EU? I don't blame you moving abroad and looking after your family. I also would like to move abroad. I don't recognise my own town anymore, over run by migrants. I feel like a foreigner in my own country, and the sad thing is its only going to get worse.
@@YanksandBritsProductions Thanks for taking the time to reply. I was under the impression that a Brit could only go to say Spain for 90 days per year on a visa. So would it be possible to live there provided I paid them to do so? Thanks.
Moved to Cyprus 23 years ago - a really good decision. Do I miss the UK? Yes, but that old UK doesn't exist any longer. When I do visit the UK I'm shocked at how the government's have allowed it to decline so much. So very sad!

Good move, the Uk has become radicalised, thats why English morals & the empire is finished
Cyprus is amazing. Left UK years ago and it was the right decision. Problem with most of the English who come here though is that they do not learn Greek or integrate. They stay in brit enclaves like Peyia and eventually feel isolated and bored. The trick is to learn the language and integrate with the locals, then you will enjoy the very rich and fulfilling life the island offers

Let's be honest. The UK is ready for some Wat Tyler action. It needed to happen 20 years ago and I am afraid it is now far too late. The communists and foreigners have the upper hand. it is done. The only answer is escape. Trad avenues of escape are closing. for example Aus and NZ are as bad if not worse. Canada is now a socialist 'paradise' under Trudeau. I escaped to the USA in 84 but it was a nightmare move. it took a total of 15 years from landing to citizen. After traveling the world I am now settled. I will never leave the USA again. I have everything here. Tropics, mountains, deserts and forests. A walk into Mexico for dental work and decent immediate medical care for a reasonable cost here in the USA. Social security pays me enough that I actually save $300 a month. I look at Britain and the state of the place and it breaks my heart. 💔💔💔

There is a lot of issues with the UK and I was proud to have lived there, served my country, and made my life there. However, everything changed in the last 10 years. This is a fantastic video and much resonates with me when I decided to leave the UK and move to South Korea. Funnily enough, I used to live in Cyprus as my parents were in the Army and we lived in Nicosia. I spent around 5 years in total and absolutely loved it as a kid.
Living in South Korea means I don't have to worry about knife crime or being mugged when walking along the street. The people are so friendly and I find them incredibly patient and supportive, despite my limited Korean ability.
I'm the same as you, in South Korea, walking about without worrying about crime and everything else
I’ve travelled all over Europe, think Cyprus is the cleanest country so far. Loved being in Paphos,drove all around the island in one day,loved it!

@@NuttersInCyprus got my permanent residency this year. It's extremely cheap to live here, AVG salaries are around €400pm. I'm alright because I work online, but there's an English mate of mine, who got his first salary last month (€400), he owns his house, 2 cars outright and can live comfortably on that. Where most people fail, is they expect the same salary as the UK - which isn't necessary, due to the UK being a rip off. It's a scale of local value of freedom, compared to slave labour to cover your living expenses (UK). And it's bloody safe here, people reserve their seat at a cafe - with their mobile phones 😂🤣 You can't even make a call in London without the fear of it being nicked.

It's interesting to read the many comments describing the UK as crap/shithole etc. I live in Chester and really like it. I was born here and moved to Portugal when I was 19 for a bit of adventure. I stayed there for 15 years and moved home when I was 34. I go back to Portugal every year to visit friends and stay a couple of months. I've thought about moving back there, but, to be honest, I think the UK (Chester and surrounding area/south coast where my eldest lives) is very nice. Anyway, good luck to everyone emigrating for a better life.
This is probably the best comment I've seen on this video. My intention wasn't to make it UK vs CY, or heavily immigrant related. However I've had 100s of messages simply saying "so now your an immigrant" like they have had some kind of gotcha moment! Also, there are 100s of comments about UK being a dump.
I wouldn't say it's a dump, I would say the number of stabbings is a joke where we lived in the west midlands. The cost of living meant we couldn't live the life we live now. In the UK we would get a take away once a week, now we eat out multiple times a week, go to entertainment events etc and our budget hasn't really increased from our out goings in the UK.
Also, I think I've seen maybe 1 crack head here, whereas where we lived in UK, you had to step over them to get into the shops and churches. Again not their fault, but also not something I want to bring my kids up around. these things get worse, not better.
Also as I've said before horses for courses, and we all have different circumstances, some live in areas that are a dump, some live in leafy green areas!

I live in Larnaca. A couple of things: Water bill comes every 2 months. On average mine has been €80. Also, if you have the big 18.9L water bottles you can get a harder plastic one (we have 2) from Super Home Centre or other hardware places, and then fill them up in a water refill station for €1.20.

I've been thinking about Cyprus for many years and now I know why. ❤
Hearing your reasons for moving away from the UK, it's a no brainer. I lived in a quiet village in Crete, in my 20s and it was a lovely way of life. I'm single and just got too lonely without my family, otherwise i'd still be there now. Everyone was respectful, love their families, Didnt know of anyone on benefits, lived off the land, people are so healthy they glow, they dont go out wanting to fight/stab each other on a night out. And obviously the weather was a Brucey bonus. Good for you, and good for your family.
Way to go! - It's a terrible shame over what's happened to the UK but you are absolutely right in putting yourself and your family first. - As a side note, I wonder what you would find returning to the UK in 10 years time? The trajectory of the country is bonkers. It's not Britain or British anymore. Do you even bother registering to vote in UK elections? So damn sad!
No I don't vote, realistically there are 2 options Tory or Labour, neither party represents me, I think it's a broken system. I just concentrate on progressing myself and my little family and whatever happens around us, I try to navigate best I can.
I think we should start a WhatsApp group for the broken British

Just get ready for winter, January and February can be cold and the houses are built for heat not cold, so no insulation etc, the air conditioning doesn’t warm the room up the same, ask a local on heat solutions! It will change about mid November to cooler nights, the locals will be in boots and coats , you will still be in shorts! When the snow comes everyone goes to the mountains!
Thanks for the tip! Funny enough when we left the UK, 1 of the very few things we shipped over was a large double electric radiator on wheels :) I knew it would come in handy! Also I brought all my camping gear so we'll fit right in with the locals when we're wearing our hiking gear lol
I went to Cyprus in Feb it was 20 degrees
@mainaccount3 That's a good summers day here 😂
Good luck to you all. 🍀 Can well understand why you've left. Life under Labour looking more than grim. 🇬🇧
Starmer, isn't a leader, everything about him screams weakness.
@@NuttersInCyprus Indeed. He's completely unsuitable!
Well done pal and a big thanks for all the details and cost. 👍
No problem 👍 cheers mate!
how do car prices compare in cyprus if you bought there instead?
@@hongk0ngfu3y much cheaper in UK.
Left UK 2006 never going back best decision I made . It's a hole .
Yeah, run by a corrupt government and the lemmings that follow them. People with a need for material items at the expense of others. A dirty grey country; bad weather; miserable people; high cost of living and mass immigration. I totally despice the UK and cant wait to leave, in honesty, would struggle to come back to visit. The country holds more bad, than good memories for me. Cant wait to move to Spain and live in the countryside. Already bought a house there in the countryside, sunny and friendly people. The only positive thing my family did for me, was give me the opportunity to get an Irish passport so I can rejoin the EU and move there.
Been raining here all week
You did right, If you came back for a day you would be shocked.
@@leeevans9654 my brother lives there family , 4 kids , we went over to visit them 2 yr ago , drove round where I once use to live and felt cloustraphobia, add that to what you see on the news , 💀🤯 my brother in-law says to me about uk the good times have gone , he is in early 60s . All the governments are to blame . There's is little to no law enforcement. Take care.

@@cmillar849 nice 1 mate 🙏
I often get nose bleeds when sleeping abroad in air conditioned rooms. Thanks for the vid and explaining the hoops you have to jump through. Enjoy you new life 🙂
Cheers mate, yeah somebody else just mentioned the air-conditioning! I'll have to try go without see if it helps
Tend to be dry air, can put a damp cloth near the air vent.
Fellow manc,
Just been watching a couple of your vids mate, top work, thanks for taking the time to put these together.
Me and the misses had very much a similar conversation RE leaving UK on top of all you mentioned, the quality of life just isn't justified with the cost of living over there, not to mention taxes are just unfair, particularly for SMEs.
Anyway, we decided to pack up and take the little one out of school and start with a gap year and see where we end up, we are just coming to the end of Europe before we go to SE Asia. But of all the countries in Europe we really liked Portugal (was there for just over a month) and are in Paphos ATM for around 5 weeks and think it's great here.
Wish you all the best!
Hello mate,
Yeah we like Portugal to, but Cyprus just pipped it for a couple of reasons. If your in Paphos feel free to message on the Nutters in Cyprus Facebook page and we can arrange to bump into each other!
Enjoy Paphos R Kid 🙏
I left a toxic vote leave town in 2020 for Athens with two cats and little money. Best thing I ever did.
🌞 good food, very chilled, I literally felt myself slow down within weeks.
My professional life has also improved as I took myself out of my comfort zone. New challenges, new ideas. Would highly recommend ☺️
Nothing toxic about wanting out of that corrupt, none elected evil entity that is the European Commission mate.
Yeah but I'm a taxi driver, so not much chance for this old man
Bet the cats are loving lying in the sun all day
cant wait to go back to Cyprus.. the folks in law lived in Peyia just down the road from the Football ground before they moved bk to uk due to father in laws ill health.. me and the wife are booked for a week holiday without the now grown up kids just off paphos harbour, we both cant wait to return, we looked at moving out there when the folk in law still lived there
I’m in Italy….. getting a property ready to move to. I’m out…. Sad but since Labour have now got in, it’s a definite.
Country is a mess after the tories...ya plonker
Where as the tories did a great job lol😂
Hi Shane. We are planning to move to Italy within the next two years, waiting for son to finish A levels. We’ve been in a bit of a nice bubble where we currently live, but they are building thousands of houses every way you turn & you can probably guess who’s going to be living in those! How are you getting on with residency?
the great reset..all planned to destroy Europe and usa.
@@FLIPMODE630both head of the same snake ..torys passed on the baton. all WEF puppets
Well done buddy nice to see someone do something for their family and be happy wish I could make the same move but just can’t afford it and worry what happens if money runs out once there
Same here brother! I worry as well, but I just tend to do things and then deal with whatever comes when it happens! All the best 👍
Just joined your channel. Its great mate and very informative. I am thinking the same moving out uk so this is very useful
Cheers mate thank you! 🙏
Uk is finished mate has been for years I'm not racist at all but ffs look after our 1st good luck mate wish I'd av gone australia in 90s when I had chance
The minute you said"im not racist " I knew you were going to come out with racist crap about immigrants priority over British nationals .

Good luck and well done for getting out of this shit hole.
Cyprus is unreal. I’m 25 and listening to you say about the kids being stabbed has always stuck by me with my 2 &4 year old. I’ve signed up for the army in the hopes to get out of this dead end job and build a better future for my mrs and kids, hoping we can live somewhere better than the council estate we’re on now and give them a better future.
Good Luck with it all mate! Hope it all works out 🙏
I know it's loverly isnt it 😆
OMG
at one time I would have been proud as I had been in the TAs
But now worry about the forces
Stay safe 🙏
@@joanhiggin1134 100% agree. When I didn’t have kids I was joining the Royal Marines and had a start date but got injured prior and then my partner got pregnant. Now I’m going to get a trade and join a commando unit through the army, where maturity and standards are still at a high as opposed to some of the army. Cheers
You did right mate , I joined the army at 17 years old in 1984 , never looked back
Good video mate- even breaking it down to the cost of a pint! 😂
I've been back and forth between UK and Cyprus since 2008..originally had a place in Kato Paphos, but we bought a new place in Tala pre-covid.
We were lucky to get our MEU1 status before the UK left the European Union, so our costs and the process were less complicated.
Good luck to you, man.
If you ever fancy a pint in Tala give me a shout- especially if you're a fellow Man Utd fan! 😅
@richardmarsden9987 good lad, see you for a pint soon to watch the footy! 🙏
@NuttersInCyprus is always welcome in Tala mate. I'm originally from Gorton, but I moved away from the shit as soon as I could afford to! My travels finally took me to Newcastle, which we split our time between here and the beautiful northeast coast.
I've had property here since 2008, so I have learnt lots of lessons the hard way! 😅
Enjoy bro you made best desicion and every one is leaving UK
The UK is quickly turning into a swamp and its beyond saving. Wish I had the balls to sell up and move to a better place.
Very well said ref the uk--- you have made a very wise choice!!!!
Hiya mate - just wondering what you do professionally? I think that's probably the main sticking point for people of a similar age moving over to somewhere like Cyprus, how they can continue working and earning enough to pay the bills. All the best
@realisticallyfit I'm a business consultant. I learnt how to be very organised, then I meet alot of people who have businesses who are looking to scale or they say things like "I'm always busy, I don't get a minute to myself" I then put a system in place for them that gives them more free time.
One thing everyone is short of is time. If someone has money, but no time, they will pay good money to get their time back!
@@NuttersInCyprus Nice one mate, sounds like exactly the kind of thing you can offer anywhere with an internet connection - don't blame you for choosing Peyia taking that into account! We lived there for a year back in 2012 - in a little villa opposite the Brewery bar and next to the old footy stadium - great memories, amazing lifestyle. Like you I could work remotely. Hardest thing was keeping myself out of the bars when everybody else is on holiday and that's just your day to day life - tough! Like you, was also a member of Tower Fitness, say hi to Andreas for us. Take care
@realisticallyfit cheers mate! What was your reason for leaving?
Alot of people have said the same thing about hard to stay out the bars, I used to be that guy in Portugal, but the kids and a little bit of success made me sort myself out and focus on family and an opportunity that I seen.
@@NuttersInCyprus We planned to live there full time, but then my girlfriend (now wife) became pregnant and we made the tough decision to come back to be close to family. We returned to Cyprus in 2014 when my little girl was just under 2 and got married at a villa in Lower Peyia, not far from Neos Sports Club if you've ever been? We're planning on returning to Peyia for a holiday next year - probably split the time between Paphos area and some time near to Protaras/Ayia Napa - we've been all over the island, and absolutely loved our time there. If you're available for a Leon next summer, would be good to say hello at the Brewery Bar - I'll be drinking Keo! Fellow Northerner like yourself, although I'm white rose instead of red! 😉
@realisticallyfit we did the same mate. Emily wanted to go back to the UK from Portugal to be closer to family!
Not been to Neos yet make. Keep meaning to, but just not happened yet.
Hopefully, bump into you next summer, unless I've run out of money 😆 🤣
Thanks for the info, really helpful ; hope it continues to go well for you and your family
Hi Carol,
Thank you for watching. Much appreciated 🙏
Cyprus is a great place to live if you're retired or don't need a job there (i.e. digital nomad). Hopefully this will improve but definitely not easy finding secure good paying jobs there.
All your reasons are completely valid , everything you said I feel completely the same about. We love Cyprus it's our favourite holiday destination and we are really considering moving out there in the near future for a safer future for our kids.
Thanks for watching and good luck with your move in the future 🙏
@@NuttersInCypruswhere in Cyprus is best .?
@@kyriakoskaplanis5227 for us Paphos! But we are biased, we live here 😀
@@NuttersInCyprus Thanks for replying
We are coming in couple of weeks to paphos and I keep telling my partner to move to Cyprus
We live in UK and as I said we consider moving to Cyprus and we like paphos especially peyia and Tala and Chlorakas
What about the medical cost in Cyprus?
I believe it’s much better there than in UK
Take care
@kyriakoskaplanis5227 we have private health care its about €150 per person per year, or you can get a proper insurance for about €300-€600 per year
Return to Cyprus just over 3 years... after 47 years in London
@chriscchristodoulou7147 our neighbour Andreas has done the exact same 😀
47 years in London, bloody he'll, 40 years in the south of England for me then I left for Spain, know in China
I like Cyprus but it does have cons. Unbearably hot and humid in the Summer. Imported food is expensive. Barking dogs. Earthquakes. Limited travel options particularly in Winter. They want to join Schengen. But if you can live with those cons, Cyprus is pretty good.
Hi Stevo, thanks for the comment...I can live with those cons, imported food not an issue, barking dogs not had any, earthquakes = 1, weather not an issue.
The list I didn't like about the UK was much bigger
June to August it's hard to even leave your house
Holidays are much different from living here because you have to make the most of every day..
2 months of heavy rain in January and February, better than 10 months in England though 👍🏼
Cyprus is good i agree, lived there for a number of years, the only downside in the current climate is the ongoing conflict between Israel and the rest of the world plus the war in Ukraine, Akrotiri is heavily used by the RAF and the USAF / israel for flights and 33SU is the main ELINT site in this part of the world.
My point being, you have the Turkish in the north since the invasion in 1974 which was helped along by certain Greeks at the time, so the two SBA areas in the south are a very nice target for the Turks / Russians / Iranians and virtually everyone who is fed up with Anglo-American interference in the countries.
Nice part of the world although i'll stick to where i am......NOT in the UK by the way.
@@AnthonyJones-vk6xqI really love a lot of other islands in Greece 🇬🇷. There are some which would be away from some of the geopolitical stresses. Although their immigration crisis may have changed he situation since the time I was there quite a few years ago. What about Malta 🇲🇹 as an option ?
@@lecaprice2572 Malta is way too small, costs are high and although an English speaking country like Cyprus, you would be more likely to hear Eastern european accents !
I used to work in Georgia (the former Russian state) is was excellent, although once again foreign goverments mainly the US and the UK are doing their best to destabilise the place with their meddling to enable the country to enter Europe and become a member of NATO, same plan with Ukraine.
I made the move 3 years ago from London to Cyprus! Best decision I made!
🙌☝️🙏
We are thinking of moving to Cyprus we go 4 times a year. I couldn't agree more with you about the uk. It makes me mad how we are letting it go down the pan
Sounds expensive for the simple life but obviously better than UK
It being expensive was part of the reason I wanted here, keeps the riff raff out
Hahahha
.. @@NuttersInCyprus
@@NuttersInCyprusBut it’s not that expensive.
Sounds like your paying a fortune out
You will neef s job of some description soon . We get to Tala in Paphos regulary and l love it . We bought a villa in 200i7 and yes things are cheaper in Cyprus but it all adds up and goes. You could start offering yourself as a handyman . Folks are always wanting jobs done wether its gardening painting or even driving if you start something it may turn into something decent in time. .Myself im too old in my 70s now i dont want to work
I'm happy on UK pension we manage fine yes Cyprus especially over the south west where you are is good .nice and friendly .
Bye Ron
Hi Ron,
Thanks for watching. I’m the same as you I don’t want to work, we like spending time with each other and the kids. We are not allowed to offer any services as handyman etc due to being on the pink slip, we are not allowed to work here.
I like Tala, was at a friends house up there for Souvlaki a couple weeks ago.
Cheers Ron, enjoy retirement 🙏
Try water filters, 2 into your property mains etc and 1 onto the tap in the kitchen, a carbon filter that takes impurities and taste out of the water. Saves money and time and cuts out all the recycling! The first 2 could be a 10 micron primary and 5 micron secondary. Not a great capital outlay, this has worked for me, I live in the east of the island. Cheers
Thanks Anthony will keep it in mind for when we buy out here 👍
For the cost and ease of removal maybe have a look at the diy shop next time you’re passing.
Nice 1 mate. Concise and clear. Your in a much better place for you and the family , the uk is a mess
Good luck with your New life. Thanks and a very detailed vid . Best wishes.
I’ve stayed in paphos a few times I love it there from Ireland,rented a villa once and got robbed after 3days everything taken apart from the shorts and t shirt I had on,but I still go there.
Sorry to hear it but glad it didn't put you off.
I moved to Germany to live next to my only brother. My 3 sisters live in Blackheath Orpington and Stroud all in really nice areas of those places. They have very good lives i suppose because they are all very comfortablly off. What keeps them there are their children and grandchildren.
What is it like to live in Germany? We have visited often and love it BUT now of course: it's been flooded with Gi*mmegr@nts: just like the UK..
Research The Kalergi Plan if you want to know why all of Europe is being destroyed.
Great video, lots of useful info and weather looks so much better than the uK. Keep them coming.
@@SophieBlairHB1973 thanks for watching Sophie, weather is especially warm today.
Great video, we were in Paphos over Christmas and it was 23 degrees, not so sure I'd want to be there during the hot months
You are a brave man and a wonderful dad
Peyia is the British immigrants area so the rents tend to be higher than Greek areas. Work is normally six days a week,not much available outside hospitality and poorly paid. I hated the way they treat animals there and one of my dogs was poisoned.I hadn't realised how common that was until I found out the vets stock poison kits for you to carry when out walking your dog.
Good to know, thank you, I will keep that in mind when we get our dogs! 🐕
Just stumbled across this video. What do you do for work over there? I'd love to move away from the UK but I don't have any "skills"... is there many jobs out there?
We don't have work here, we are on pink slip. We have to earn from offshore.
There is work here but if on a UK passport you need to be sponsored
@@NuttersInCyprusIf there was not of Brexit you could work freely wherever you wish to within EU. Another downside of UK.
You will have to get over obstacles, but I truly wish you luck.
@@NuttersInCyprusHi Can you please explain the pink slip and how you earn offshore? Do you mean you need to work on the rigs or for a company back home?
@Superman-nn4nw you can earn the money anywhere other than Cyprus.
I put out another video yesterday, you should watch that I answer of lot of questions on that. Thanks for taking the time to watch it.
@@NuttersInCyprus Thank you for taking the time to reply. Much appreciated.
Could I ask you what you do for a living / Job out there ??
I lived there for a couple of years returned to UK 2009
They had joined the EU then so did not need any visa's etc to live & work there
At the time I worked on maintance at a hotel in Paphos - it was hard work and they wanted you there 24/7 for 600 euro a month -
I went there to work less than in the UK (semi retire) but ended up working harder
I found the food to be the same price if not more expensive than the UK & fuel for car slightly cheaper than the UK (but not by much)
Diesel used to be about 20 cents a litre BEFORE they joined the EU then it shot up
I was planning on retiring there - went out in 2019 - 2020 to sort it out
The convid !! so never happened !!
Hi Colin,
I have investments that keep me ticking over.
I agree. I feel the food is the same price as UK, and the steak is more expensive.
Haven't noticed on diesel, I haven't even looked at how much a litre if I'm honest, I should really.
Sorry to hear the retirement move never happened, maybe some time in the future. 🙏
Love the videos keep them coming 👍🏼
Hi mate glad you moved.May i ask what kind of immigration visa you took.Do Brits need immigration visa to settle in Cyprus and how it works?Kindly guide us on immigration part of it as that is the real issue after brexit we can't really move any where permanently!
Hi, please watch the video again, all the information is in there. If I mention how it in the video, then it's a cost you need to account for.
Serious question: Is Cyprus boring? I am in my mid-30ies, no kids, no partner. Been twice for 3 weeks each. But last time I went this year I couldn't help but wonder if it does get boring, especially in off-season? It has a very slow pace. Are you bored at all when coming from a faster-paced country?
Bored in the rain or bored in the sun
Depends what you want from life, we are pretty boring! Also we haven't been here in off season so I can't answer! If you just spend all your days and nights in the bar, then I'd imagine it can get boring.
Also when we was in the UK it was pretty boring, school run, work, school run, feed, TV.
So what is so great about the UK making it less boring? Wouldnt class working long hours less boring. The UK has nothing else than having to work long and hard to occupy your mind. Cant think anything more boring. You cant even walk around the UK when you have free time due to the cold, damp and wet climate. What else does it have, shopping and going to the pub, nothing more boring.
@@Leah-s6p I lived in Cyprus and it was a six day week, very poorly paid, so moving back to UK meant working less hours for more money.
@@NuttersInCyprus I don't drink so I wouldn't spend any time in bars or pubs, only restaurants to eat. What was appealing about CY was the outdoor activities, such as hiking etc. but it is quite hot in the summer. Will see.
Subbed and all the best..
Thanks Simon, much appreciated
