CY pension by expatfor03
Last question for the day :-) How many years does one need to contribute to the CY Pension Fund, as self employed, in order to be eligible for pension? What is the minimum CY pension? Any differences between female and male worked? And how are ...

Paphos real estate prices by expatfor03
Hi! I read the prices for luxury real estate will likely go down, but that does not affect us. What about middle-class accommodations? Like a penthouse/small row house in Tombs of the Kings. In some places, I read prices will go up because people ...
Thank you both! So FB better than Bazaraki etc. to see where demand/offer is going? Read More

Accommodation in Cyprus: scams you should look out for by Bhavna
Hi, Committing to renting or buying accommodation when youÂ’re new to or have not moved to Cyprus just yet is always a stressful endeavour. Would you like to help us in putting together a handbook of what to look out for when house hunting in ...
Thank you Toon and Samuel! Is Paphos Tombs of the Kings affected by slippages? I read about other areas, for example in the articles you shared, but not about Paphos. Thanks! Read More
The pet culture in Cyprus by Priscilla
Hey everyone, Pets are an integral part of a lot of families. So much so that they would never consider moving abroad without them. Before doing so, it would be important to know the pet culture in Cyprus just to make sure that their little ...
Thanks, amazing as usual! Our dog gets very anxious if she is without my wife in unknown places. So we need to take her in the cabin, she fits weight and size wise. We can go anywhere it is required, but we would need to be with her. I think we ... Read More

Hello! Coming by plane from EU, from rabies-controlled Countries, with microchip and vaccinations properly done. What happens after landing? Is it just a formality: someone at the airport checks the passport of the pet, and microchip, and we are ... Read More
Buy to live and rent by expatfor03
Hello! I heard there are more foreclosed properties coming to the market. And hopefully, holiday rentals stay strong. If one buys an apartment in Paphos, renting it on AirBnb for about 5 months per year, is that likely to cover mortgage and other ...
BTW, we were considering Malta (noticed you lived there as well) but Cyprus seems a better option, tax-wise, considering I have to work abroad for a big part of the year. Read More

Thank you, I owe you a lunch when we come there again to explore Paphos. Are those prices in the Tombs of the Kings area? It seemed a good area when we were there last year. Bus connections, supermarkets, still near the waterfront walk. We will ... Read More

Thanks for the insights! Ok so probably more repossessions coming from people who took out a Swiss franc mortgage. About renting in a complex, I see your point. Who rents from us may annoy the neighbors, and when we are there ourselves we may be ... Read More
Self Employed: non Maltese citizen resident in Malta by expatfor03
Hello everyone! I would be very grateful if you can please help me to make sure I understood the laws correctly :-) 1) A foreigner who becomes resident of Malta, pays taxes only on income arisen in Malta or remitted to Malta. 2) A self employed ...
Good to know, thank you volcane! That is not a good sign then. Read More
