Visit Visa

Hello everyone,

I want to invite someone from outside, she is my girlfriend, and for the application it says that I should put the inviting person name and address and so on. Can I just put my name and everything or should I get a paper or go to somewhere to apply for something so she can come to me? I am a student here and I have my residence visa.

Thank you very much.

Elevator shaft access to find fallen personal items

Fellow residents please help me with advice. My friend dropped something into the elevator shaft 🙈 and I tried to help to get it out. I used a fishing rod hook, but I couldn’t see where the item landed (it might have rolled pretty far to the opposite wall). Then my hook (a good one, not from temu) got stuck on something and I had to cut it off( So now there’s my hook down there too... What can we even do in the situation like this?

How do agents work here?

Since I'm looking for an apparentment to rent, I contacted two different agents based on a flat they're listing. Am I expected to pay them? And would there be room to negotiate with the owner?

Fellow immigrants, what's the best thing about this island?

I'll start ...

  • Generally friendly and helpful people
  • Fresh fruits and vegetables all year round
  • Specialty shops are still alive here (although it can be difficult to find them)
  • Great food, once you escape the tourist traps
  • GESY

Let's put the doomerism to bed for a moment!

Larnaca November

I’ve seen people say go to limassol instead but I’ll just be here one night on the weekend. If Larnaca has literally anything then surely it’s better to just stay here no?

Nightlife is a positive but I’m assuming it has a few bars etc.

Moving to Cyprus- Job advice

Hi all,

I'll be moving to Cyprus next year around October and I'm considering which jobs I'll be able to do/what pay well. I have a 120 hr TEFL (Teaching English as a Second Lang), a Level 2 counselling certificate, a first class degree in English, over 10 years of customer service experience and have 2 years admin experience.

I'm concerned because my quals are kind of everywhere and not a high level (apart from my degree) I'll struggle to find something that I'll make any decent money in. I'm learning Greek at the moment, and I'll be moving with my partner who is from Cyprus and has a pretty much guaranteed job so I'm not desperately worried but I want to be able to hold up my end of the finances and make a life for myself there!

Does anyone have any ideas of job/areas/places I can look for jobs? The ideal would be something remote so we have the opportunity to move wherever in Cyprus, but I’m open to anything really. I’ve looked at admin jobs at uni’s based on someones recommendation and it looked good but very low pay- is this the way with all admin jobs?

Any and all advice is much appreciated!!

Cleaning company stole devices from my apt

Around 2000 in value. They of course negate it, but literally nobody else had access to the house (I didn't even have guests or friends recently) so it can only be them.

What can I do? Can the police do anything at all if I tell them who did it? I have serial numbers and things to prove it

9 Days in Cyprus Coming Up, Itinerary Help?

Hi guys, I will be in cyprus from 23/11/24 til 1/12/24.

I technically land in LCA at like..2330 at night, so I will sleep in Larnaca for sure because nothing runs at that late at night.

Outside of that this was what I had planned:

Day 1 (23/11): Stay in Larnaca and explore/work off the Jet-Lag
Day 2 (24/11): Visit Ayia Napa for the day, and then travel back to Larnaca at night
Day 3 (25/11): Drive to Nicosia in the morning and stay there.
Day 4 (26/11): Stay in Nicosia
Day 5 (27/11): Also stay in Nicosia
Day 6 (28/11): Drive to Limassol
Day 7 (29/11): Stay Limassol
Day 8 (30/11): Drive to Paphos
Day 9 (01/12): Hang in Paphos, travel back to LCA for flight.

So I have a few things to note with this.

  1. I do not live near a beach, I do not know water temperature. I see the water is about 23C, is that too cold to swim in? If so, is it not wort going to Ayia Napa?

  2. I usually plan the cities, not the attractions (just so I am not forced to stay in a boring place because I booked some silly attraction), are there any MUST SEE locations that I should make sure to stop at?

  3. When I say drive, I mean take a bus. I am 20, I cannot rent a car (I think?). How accessible are busses (from a search on Intercity Buses it seems there are not a lot per day)? Should I go back to Larnaca on the night of the 30th so I don't have to mess with busses in case of error?

  4. Please give any feedback!

Thank you all in advance, and I will make sure to answer you all as fast as I can so you know your suggestions matter! I cannot wait to see your beautiful country!

Engagement ring

What side should your engagement ring go on. We’re in Cyprus and are Cypriot orthodox by blood. I always thought the ring went on the left hand as it’s the side that’s connected to your heart but now people are telling me it’s the right here and I probably think left because of tv shows….

So debate which side is it? Is there a wrong answer?

Why is land so expensive?

Are people actually paying that much for these current land prices or are they super inflated for negotiation purposes? It seems like the norm for a simple 500m2 piece of residential land in any village outside the city of nicosia is at LEAST €150.000.00 and it seems to be the same for larnaca and limassol, maybe paphos not so much.

What is driving the driving factor of these high prices? Am i missing something?

Help finding a grave in a military cemetary in Dhekalia.

We'd like to put some flowers on my wife's uncles grave and need some advice, is it going to be possible to just turn up and lay some flowers- it's a military cemetary and we don't know exactly where it is so would need to look for it etc. I'm just worried that we'll drive all the way there and won't be able get in as it's a military site.

A new scam in Cyprus

People in Cyprus be aware of this new scam.

I work in social media marketing and a lot of my clients are getting this exact message, I inspected the link and obviously it doesn't belong to the food network.

This message comes from regular/real accounts and they seem to have a spyware of some sort. I spoke with the above account on the phone and they are not aware of these messages.

Just a heads up, don't click anything.

Can We Talk About That Cringe Electroline Ad? 😤

https://preview.redd.it/fyhusuoj7r1e1.png?width=2012&format=png&auto=webp&s=c265c891070a53ed21703023fc1d584c0daee666

Is anyone else getting absolutely bombarded with that Electroline ad on YouTube? You know the one with that actor who couldn’t act their way out of a paper bag? It’s like they’re trying so hard to be quirky or relatable, but it just comes off as painfully awkward.

I don’t know who thought this was a good idea, but I can’t hit skip fast enough. If you’re going to shove an ad in my face every five minutes, at least make it bearable.
