All shipments arriving in Cyprus from the UK must now go through customs clearance, and it’s essential that you provide the necessary customs documentation upon arrival. Your point of contact at your local Bennetts office will guide you on the required forms and any supporting paperwork you need to submit. However, it is now the customer’s responsibility to ensure that these documents are accurately completed and submitted. To prevent delays in transportation and avoid extra fees, it’s strongly recommended to prepare these customs formalities ahead of time.
It is highly recommended to avoid importing the following items into Cyprus:
Shipping groupage or shared load consignments to Cyprus typically takes between 6 to 9 weeks for door-to-door delivery. The timeline can vary based on factors such as shipment volume, immigration procedures, and weather conditions. For sole-use containers, the delivery time is usually between 3 to 6 weeks, with a weekly service available to Limassol.
Every shared load shipment will be assigned a barcode prior to being loaded onto the vehicle. This process guarantees that all items are accounted for and none are left behind at the pickup location.
Bennetts can provide you with a trusted animal shipping service to help relocate your beloved pet(s) to your new home. They will manage all the necessary paperwork and ensure any required veterinary steps are completed.
Importing a motor vehicle into the country will require meeting certain compliance standards, and it is likely that duties and taxes will be applicable. If you have owned and used the vehicle for a minimum of 6 months before the transfer, you will be allowed to bring it with you when establishing residency.
When relocating to Cyprus, Bennetts offers reliable and efficient door-to-door removal services. With years of experience in the industry, we can transport your belongings either in a shared load or a dedicated container. Depending on your needs, we utilize removal vans, sea containers, or air freight to deliver your goods safely and securely. To provide peace of mind, we offer bar coding and computer tracking for each consignment.
Bennetts offers a range of additional services for your move, including international insurance, storage solutions, and even pet transportation.
Nestled in the Mediterranean, this island boasts a vibrant culture influenced by Greek, Turkish, and Arab traditions, alongside a history that spans millennia. Visitors to this sun-drenched destination will be enchanted by its striking architecture, thrilling inland adventures, and a more laid-back, slower pace of life.
The island lies to the east of Turkey, and to the west of Syria and Lebanon. Having gained independence from the United Kingdom in the 1960s, it is home to a diverse population, with 77% Greek Cypriots, 18% Turkish Cypriots, and various other ethnic communities. It is divided into two main regions: the Republic of Cyprus in the southern part and the Turkish-controlled north, which is recognized only by Turkey. Today, the country enjoys a robust and growing economy, with a per capita GDP exceeding the EU average. The island also ranks highly on the Human Development Index, offering a top-tier public education system and long life expectancy for its residents.
Though there remain notable economic disparities between the south and north, the island is seeing increasing economic growth and modern infrastructure. Recently, it has become a popular destination for expats. Anyone choosing to make the island their permanent home will be immersed in its deep historical roots, diverse cultural influences, breathtaking mountainous terrain, sandy beaches, and year-round warm weather.
If you’re considering relocating to Cyprus and seeking employment there, you’ll need both a residence permit and a social insurance number. One option is to apply for a temporary residence permit, which lasts for one year and can be renewed annually.
Before you can begin working in Cyprus, you must first secure a job with a local Cypriot company. Once employed, your employer will handle the process of applying for your work permit, enabling you to work legally in the country.
Employment opportunities are abundant on the island, despite the ongoing division between the more affluent southern region and the less developed northern part. Tourism plays a vital role in the economy, making hospitality and travel-related jobs some of the most lucrative options available.
In addition to tourism, other thriving sectors include shipping, energy, finance, manufacturing, and mining. Expats with the right qualifications and experience in these industries will likely find a wealth of career opportunities to explore.
