Why I Left The UK & How Much It Costs To Move And Live In Cyprus! 2024

In this video I explain why I left the UK and moved to Cyprus in 2024.

I let you know how much it cost me to move from the UK to Cyprus and how much my monthly living costs are.

Things I forgot to mention...

The cost of the actual immigration application was €140 per person = €560 in total.

Private Health Insurance is something you have to have to get through immigration = €130 per person (I forgot exactly, but it's around that number).

Refuse Tax = €145 per annum due in November.

Moved to Cyprus 23 years ago - a really good decision. Do I miss the UK? Yes, but that old UK doesn't exist any longer. When I do visit the UK I'm shocked at how the government's have allowed it to decline so much. So very sad!

Good on you young man. I go to bed angry & awake angry. UK is a cesspit!

Cyprus is amazing. Left UK years ago and it was the right decision. Problem with most of the English who come here though is that they do not learn Greek or integrate. They stay in brit enclaves like Peyia and eventually feel isolated and bored. The trick is to learn the language and integrate with the locals, then you will enjoy the very rich and fulfilling life the island offers

Respect for taking the leap. The UK is in deep deep deep trouble. Good luck to you and Family!

When I was young living in Britain, we had commercials saying, “keep Britain tidy.” And for me it worked. I’m still a very clean guy today.

It’s SAD that the U.K. has become so crap and expensive that moving abroad becomes a no brainer. The U.K. has become a failed country. Well done on escaping

Im movin to the countryside of Spain. Humans are the cause of many problems, plus the cost of living. Id be happy never to see another human again in my life, just having my pets. No two facedness; backstabbers; greed; aggression, you can keep your humans. Life is better living the simple life surrounded by nature and animals for company.

There is a lot of issues with the UK and I was proud to have lived there, served my country, and made my life there. However, everything changed in the last 10 years. This is a fantastic video and much resonates with me when I decided to leave the UK and move to South Korea. Funnily enough, I used to live in Cyprus as my parents were in the Army and we lived in Nicosia. I spent around 5 years in total and absolutely loved it as a kid.

Living in South Korea means I don't have to worry about knife crime or being mugged when walking along the street. The people are so friendly and I find them incredibly patient and supportive, despite my limited Korean ability.

We sold up everything the 'YUK' 21 years ago and moved to Cyprus for good. And the best thing we ever did in our lives ! And we get stressed and depressed just thinking about going back there for even a few days ! It takes a while to settle in, but Cyprus grows on you.

I bought a house in Peyia 24 years ago. Moved out of Peyia this year and moved to Polis. Grandchildren born here 10 and 6 both attend Peyia school and speak fluent Greek. I'm pretty good at reading, writing and speaking Greek too.

Your right about the uk it’s being destroyed intentionally by our own govt😢

Thank God for men like you! Totally agree with you and totally understand why you moved! 💝

[djrod]

💯 m8 the uk has fallen & only going to get worse, you have done the right thing for you & your family 🙏

[luken]

Totally share your views for leaving. I’d go to Cyprus tomorrow but my boys are older now. You’ve gone with your lads at the right age. 👏🏼👏🏼

We left the UK to Australia for the same reasons.
I ended up being fast tracked due to my trade.
Rounded up costs came to about £9000...
Bought all our furniture here via container.
Don't regret it at all, but, would I move here again? NO... Why? Because Australia is following the same UK model...
This, other than financially, doesn't affect us as we live in a small town away from the increase in issues the government are causing.

I get you with the litter thing, people have no civic pride anymore. It makes me angry too.

[MarkHebblewhite]

The misses and I moved from London to Serbia just under 4 years ago. Don't miss the UK in the slightest, much better lifestyle. Well done on your choice, I hope it turns out brilliantly for you and the family.

Really appreciate the honesty, I've been to Cyprus for the last 13 years straight (save for covid) and intend to move out there at some point. Cyprus seems a much better life!

Good luck mate. You've done the right thing. 2 tier starmer will have us in the gutter soon. From a pensoner who worked from 15 till retirement
