Just returned home from my local ( where else ) and promised my drinking compatriots that I would post on here a question as to what the ex pat population of the Paphos area was.
It ranged in the bar from 10,000 to 40,000 legally,and extra for those here who don't exist.
Of course as the liquid refreshments flowed then the numbers got more fanciable.
Anyone any idea as to the true numbers legal and otherwise......hic,,i think i,ll raid the fridge for another,,,,hic,, :pint

Oh,,i forgot to add...I walked home :greetings

It's 18 months ago ( Dec 2015 ) but the article mentions 24,000 Britons on the island. http://cyprus-mail.com/2015/12/20/cypru ... across-eu/
I couldn't find more recent Eurostat numbers

That number would include English Cypriots who are British pass port holders;

As at the last Cyprus Census (2011), there were 26,659 British Expats living in the Republic of Cyprus - the second largest ethnic group. Greek Expats make the largest group (31,044) and Romanians are in third place (24,376).

Not gospel. but in my view more have left then arrived in recent years, and I know quite a few that would leave if only they could find buyers for their properties.

I would have thought that there are far more than that in the Paphos Region, due to the possibly higher age of many expats, so that Pahos might suit them more than say the other side of the island, or even Limassol or Larnaca.

No way. In the course of my work, there are still many more coming out here, and what has surprised me, is that many of those coming here now are not of retirement age.

We will have to agree to disagree on this...I have a close friend who has a Estate agents office, and according to him, their books are full of Expats waiting to sell and move back.

This where it would be useful to put your location! I am talking the west side of the island, and I did state Paphos region. Yet another case where M.A.D is correct when he asks people to put their location.

And how many "illegals" are there?

Are you an expat if you have a "holiday home"?

Are you an expat if you are "doing a bit of bar work" for the summer period?

I would think that you could double the official number.

I think when Brexit approaches, and every expat will have to register the true figure will be known.

Post subject:  Re: Ex pat population numbers?
The problem will still remain though. There are many expats who have been here for years, and don't register, so they will continue to ignore whatever legislation is put in force then.

I think you will find the Police are far stricter on non EU nationals on over staying here, After Brexit things will be more stricter for Brits in regard to overstaying

I don't think they are about to disturb the 'Golden Goose' on a legal technicality, especially as they are used to turning a blind eye with the Russians & eastern block expats about far greater issues.
