[Bill]

As Bill says, anyone who owns a property in the UK and sells it would well be able to afford to live in cyprus or probably any other EU country. The sale of their UK property should be more than enough to buy a property outright and they then have at least £90 a week to live on plus their £200 a year fuel allowance.
Agreed they would not live like kings but they would probably be living better than they would in the UK on that income.

My sentiments exactly

£90 per week !!! How many bottle is that ?

With the rubbish exchange rate at the moment, Brits will be better off buying outside of Europe - the GBP against the USD is brilliant now, so America is the place to buy!

I think there is a minimum level of income one has to have before they are allowed residency .... and £90 per week is probably half that from what I recall.

It is precisely these sorts of people that Cyprus should now be restricting further due to diminishing resources and encouraging more of these types >>>

Norway's richest man becomes a Cyprus citizen

Norway's richest man is no longer Norwegian. Ship owner and investor John Fredriksen has returned his Norwegian passport and has become a Cypriot citizen.

London-based Fredriksen has for a long time led his business operations from Cyprus in order to avoid Norwegian tax regulations, news reports said.

He heads Sea Tankers Management Co. Ltd. in Limassol which is part of the Oslo-based, Nasdaq-listed Frontline Ltd. (nasdaq: FRONY), the biggest crude-oil tanker company in the world.

According to the Sunday Times, Fredriksen now ranks 10th on the list of the richest people in Great Britain and Ireland

Frankly I am getting sick and tired of the small minded boring bigoty Brits that are becoming far to prevalent in my neighbourhood. Bolstered by the sun and cheap wine, they swan around in ill-fitting shorts and t-shirts, guffawing loudly at other easily recognizable (pink) kindred islanders.

Unlike economic migrants that have a certain motivational quality about them, seeking to improve their lot, or successful businesspeople / professionals / academics or those retired on considerable income... all perfectly acceptable and desirable ... these lowly retired Brits with nothing but capital from one house sale and a measly pension are nothing but a waste of precious resources.

Surely by EU rules we only have to entertain them for half the year, max

Well by EU rules you are stuck with them and the only people I can really blame apart from the EU is the Cypriots themselves for promoting the island as a paradise for pink immigrants from the UK.

Your island has been sold under your own feet by unscrupulous developers wanting a quick buck from the unsuspecting pink ones and filling it with concrete .

You must live in a strange area oracle with all those unwanted immigrants about ~ it's very nice where I live ~ with only the occasional pinky passing through .

Those lowly Brits with the proceeds of one house sale deserve a life and if Cyprus suits them who are you to tell them they shouldn't be here ~ after all they are supporting the Cyprus economy just the same as everybody else and no doubt put a hundred or so thousand into a greedy developers pocket as well.

Sadly I won't get my pension for a good few years yet so I will have to struggle to make ends meet until then ~ thank god you are in the EU

Anyway I'm off the the sea front soon for a bit of free entertainment with all the other free loaders.

Yes but America is full of Americans so why on earth would anyone want to go and live there?

Nope. Under EU rules anyone from the EU can live in Cyprus, probably even if they had no income.

America has very strict entrance requirements ...

So I guess Cyprus is stuck with people like Bill and Bubbles ...

Its two way traffic. Most Cypriots did very well out of "invading" the UK over the last 50+ years, it's time to return the favour.

Are you British, Bill?
