Military obligations in Cyprus

Postby GIz33k0 » Mon Mar 21, 2011 6:50 pm

Looking for some information... can a british citizen, with cypriot descent from their grandfather (mother being cypriot is irrelevant apparently) come to cyprus to work for longer than three months under a working holiday visa if they show proof from their employer?

EU........EU.........EU ........... reside where you want, work where you want ... just pay the local taxes.

as far as NG goes... depends... on if you were born before or after 1960.

I have both a cypriot name and surname. I was born in england, so was my father but his father was born in Cyprus before 1960 and has lived in England for sixty years. My mother is cypriot.
