Dear Neil, please can you post on the forum.



In the event of a No Deal, the Cyprus authorities have given a grace period until the end of December 2020 for those British residents already in Cyprus who have not yet registered and those that arrive in Cyprus before 31st October 2019.

Announcement from Civil Registry & Migration Dept here: No deal grace period

In the event of a Deal, the previous agreement on Citizens Rights will stand, with a transition period up to the end of December 2020, this also covers new arrivals into Cyprus up to the end of the transition period (originally published in August 2018, albeit based on EU Exit being 29th March 2019): Citizens Rights in a deal scenario

After 31 December 2020, existing MEU residency documents may be replaced by a smaller residency card or other form of documentation, as noted at the end of page 7 in the above document.



Civil Registry & Migration Dept have published a lot of guidance here: CRMD pages
http://moi.gov.cy/MOI/CRMD/crmd.nsf/All/C482CD407E0903D8C225830E00384072


Lots of information on the Living in Cyprus guide here which covers Brexit, residency, healthcare, driving licenses etc: LIG



This is a handy document from the European Commission: UK Nationals in the EU in a no deal

BHC still advises that people formalise their residency status at the earliest opportunity and reiterate the fact that old brown ARC books, stamps in passports & old Immigration Permits issued pre Cyprus joining the EU are obsolete.
