Hello all. I'm applying for Cypriot citizenship in the basis of my grandparent origin. I'm required to provide a copy of their marriage certificate. It appears that they only got married in the church and never got a civil marriage. Firstly- was this marriage ever legal in the UK? They are both deceased now so no consequence for them any more, but just curious. Secondly- will Cyprus accept this as a legal marriage for the purpose of citizenship or will they consider my father to be born out of wedlock?
Thanks

Hey guys, I'm from lebanon looking to move to cyprus to study.
The agent told me it's really easy to find a job that pays 1k and finance yourself, i've been told that's a lie. So I'm here to get your advice.
Is it easy to find a full time job?
Out of the top of my head, here are some characteristics that I believe describe a very large proportion of the Cypriot and American population: Limited general knowledge, going everywhere by car, live in houses in the outskirts of the city instead instead of apartments in the heart of the city, don't bother with cultural events like theatre, obsessed with football and cheap entertainment, status oriented.
Sure, there are some European countries whose population exhibit similar characteristics, but meeting some people from Central and Northern European countries, I have noticed that they are more culture oriented, have interesting hobbies and are more knowledgeable.
Do you agree with my observations? Is the above assessment of the mindset of the average Cypriot too harsh, or do most Europeans exhibit the same characteristics?

So I made contact with this instructor since mid April and took the theory test July and started driving august. I have just been told today that the next exam will be for February which I find Insane. My driving instructor isn’t teaching me much as I can drive she just sits and talk on the phone all through the lesson. Is there any way I can get the exam early or take my learners permit from her and go to someone else
It looks like I will be arriving at the Limassol New Port Bus station but I couldn’t find any information on storage lockers. Anything would be appreciated! Thank you
Dear lovely people,
I’m from Ireland but my parents live in Cyprus. They’ve recently moved and they have mentioned how difficult it is to get around with bus/taxi. Although they haven’t mentioned it explicitly, I want to buy them an affordable car which would be reliable and is also spacious as they have two big pet dogs. My budget is around 7000€ but can go a little above to include tax + insurance. Since prices and maintenance is different than Ireland, I’m unsure what would be the best options for them. If you read this far and give your thoughts, I thank you and appreciate your time.
Cheers!
I've been in Cyprus for a dew years now and my driving license is expiring soon. To renew my old license I need to have lived the last 3 years in that country, so I'm just going to get a Cypriot one.
Does anyone know if I have to retake the test or lessons, or can I just pay the renewal few? If I do need to redo the test, is there anything I need to know before?
Thanks!
I'm half-cypriot and already have a Cyprus passport/ID card.
Hi everyone! I was just wondering if we have any local/folk stories in the island that maybe connects to myth or certain customs in our daily life. Of course these were usually told by our grandmothers or grand fathers but surely they are not limited to them.
We were discussing this with my friend and what immediately comes to our mind was the creation of Pentadaktylos/Beş parmak(five finger) mountains which goes as a guy is tricked to meet with his lover in the mountains by either by a pirate or a king/lord but instead gets drowned in mud and only his hand remain outside. So to curse the pirate/king a hand shape mountain appears and swallows the pirate/king.
I am sure that we all have unique stories to tell so do you all have any stories that you can share?
Hello all,
We need to buy a pepper/dog spray in Cyprus. We are cyclists and got attacked by a stray dog on one of our rides here. We managed to get away. The problem is my girlfriend is going to ride alone for a bit (I am a bit sick) and she doesn't feel safe riding through villages with stray/loose dogs. I am googling around and see that pepper spray is not legal here but maybe it's still possible to buy a milder version (for dogs even very mild spray is enough as they have very sensitive smell) somewhere? Any help?
We always ride with pepper spray all across Europe and it was helpful several times to defend against aggressive dogs, especially in rural areas.
I am trying to pay my water bill through JCC in larnaca, but cannot for the life of me find the service to pay. I used to press the water board one and now it just shows error 404. Anyone know how to pay this bill?
