Top 10 Tips For Retiring to Cyprus
Cyprus is one of the most popular overseas destinations with would-be British retirees searching for that perfect place in the sun. It offers a secure and laid back pace of life in an environment with a climate that is conducive to good health. What’s more, it can be far more affordable to live abroad in sunny Cyprus than to remain in the UK in retirement, because not only is the cost of living lower in Cyprus, fuel bills are much reduced and taxation on pension income is only 5% and in some cases can actually be 0%.
With Britain coming last but one in a recent survey about quality of life, it’s of no surprise that increasing numbers of us are actively planning our escape from the UK in retirement. For those serious about Cyprus, here are the top ten tips for retiring in style and comfort…
1) Get your finances in order – moving abroad can be an expensive undertaking. Most people factor in flights but what about fees associated with selling a house and buying another, moving your personal belongings to Cyprus and getting yourself established with everything from a satellite TV connection to a residency permit? It all costs money, but most people understand that it’s actually an investment in a lifestyle that you could not otherwise achieve if you stayed put.
