@@NuttersInCypruswhere did you live in Portugal and why did you decide Cyprus and not Portugal if you had already lived there mate and can you move aboard if you are self employed and have a trade.

[@NuttersInCyprus]

@@AMLMU12 We lived in the Portimao area. When I moved to Portugal I didn't have a baked bean to my name so just went along like normal. However I lived there to long to get the tax benefits as non dom. In Cyprus I can get the tax benefits. Also everything is in English in Cyprus. You can move anywhere in the world mate, but you need to meet the immigration criteria of the country you select.

I'm Cypriot, born in Solihull. Raised in the UK but the culture is pure Cypriot. My family over there are no different to the family over here. I'm grateful for the living that the UK has provided, but, and I never thought I'd ever say this, I miss the old school (quiet racism) that we had when I was in my teens/early twenties. The thugs they are letting in now are making the UK unlivable. There's nothing but death left here in the UK and the old school English folk that I used to hate are also walking into a nightmare and saying absolutely nothing about it. Same in other countries not just UK. We will be there very soon as well, although we don't have to go through the hassle to live there that you did. But if we did have to, we would because it's worth it just to escape this death trap.

[@fencer39]

Went to Paphos last year really surprised by the huge amount of ethnic cultural enrichment that has taken place there. To be honest they were everywhere. they are rude they push and dont wait their turn for anything. I felt sad for what Cyprus will end up being overrun like the UK is now. Went to Rhodes this year which was a totally different story. Still Greek !!

[@G1CHO]

@@fencer39 I have to agree here somewhat. I've been 5 times to back the village this year. The first 3 times they were everywhere but the last two times they were all gone (in the village at least) After talking with my cousin he said that they have started deporting a lot of them. I think the damage is done though to be honest, however, I am hopeful that they can turn it around. Mazotos is the area I'm referring to.

[@paulr75]

Hardly a big difference,yes Cretes going to be cooler in the winter and spring by a few degrees,but little or no difference in the hot summer,if its baking in Cyprus its likely much the same in Crete

[@panayiotapanayiotis8669]

@@paulr75 Hey Paul. I don't agree, as we all have different tolerances to heat. Cyprus can get into the low 40s in the summer for days at a time (sometimes higher as the news don't report accurately), crete tends to be mid-high 30s. this makes all the difference to me personally, it makes the difference between being outside and being shut up indoors in an airconditioned room. i've spent most of my life visiting both islands in the summer and spending weeks-months at a time there and those few degrees higher are intolerable, especially if you're there for a whole season. It's easier to tolerate if you're by the beach all day (my younger days), but for actual living and getting on with life and daily chores, too much for me. Though, I would consider more mountainous areas of Cyprus. Nothing is set in stone yet, but I'm looking forward to exploring the idea.

[@ChrisChedgzoy]

you made a comment, Some people think the rich should pay more. This is something that really winds me up. Tax is a % of your earnings. so people on higher incomes do pay more. Why the UK increase the % you pay the more you earn is beyond me. Don't they understand people will bugger off once they reach a threshold? I know of someone who sold his company for around £50m. Yes I agree a load of money. He was faced with the dilemma of Staying in the UK and paying something like £20 million in tax or Going live in Monoco for 3 years and paying nothing. After 3 years, he could return to the UK without a tax bill. So the taxman in the end paid for his life in Monoca for 3 years and he had change. The UK need the millionaires as they spend here in the UK. It's what keeps the economy strong. When will they wake up and smell the coffee?

[@BUFUmic]

First time commenting, I think for most people since Brexit, it would be extremely difficult to do as you have done. It obviously helps that you've been lucky with the stock market but have no doubt worked hard along the way. Not going to disagree that the rich tend to be able to take advantage of good tax advice so they can avoid the majority of them, one of the main reasons for the Brexit vote was to avoid the incoming EU tax loophole closures, fortunately anyone who derives their wealth from UK businesses can be taxed at point in the UK, also the rich pay nowhere near as much on wealth when compared to those being taxed on earned income, as a proportion to their income. Would also disagree, I think wealth taxes need to increase if we are to increase spending on public services. Would be nice to see a comparison between your old house and the one the rent now in Cyprus, I'd also invest in a car port if you have a half decent car as the hail can get pretty destructive over there between Jan -Mar, I was lucky enough to spend 12 weeks there, years ago whilst serving in HMF...

[@NuttersInCyprus]

We will have to agree to disagree. If big companies have the choice of paying 0% or 25% then they will choose 0% and move it off shore. Raise it to 50% and they’ll still choose 0%. However put it 5 or 7% and a good chunk would opt to pay it to remove the complexities involved in having a very complicated company tax set up. Lower it, receive more! Increase it, receive less! That’s how it works but unfortunately you and many others all shout put the taxes up. Another down side to the increase in taxes, means lower margins, which means the need to import more cheap labour. Which means increasing RRP, in return making it harder for the average person affected by the cost of living crisis. Also with the luck comment, this is what everybody says, but luck is where preparation meets opportunity. And for transparency, my portfolio isn’t where I have made my money. Money was made via online retail. All the best mate, and thanks for your service 🙏

You've got me seriously thinking about this dude 😆 Ime a HGV Driver and could probably get a job overvthere easily !!

[@NuttersInCyprus]

Hello mate. On a UK passport it's very very difficult, if your on an EU passport it easy!

[@NuttersInCyprus]

You have to be sponsored to get work out here on UK passport. If you have an Irish parent or grandparents you can get an Irish passport, then you can work anywhere

[@thedj5914]

I've been an HGV driver and still do a bit now and then. I'm really considering packing up my business and moving abroad. I can't be dealing with the stress of it all and I just seem to be earning money for a government and a direction that I am categorically opposed to. I've spent a lot of time looking for a place that Brits can move to and get the right to live and work. Most are unviable for various reasons. i.e, you would have to take their driving license and their version of CPC, etc. You need to be pretty much fluent in the language to get a work visa, You need to go there and find work but you have to have the funds to support yourself straight away which if you had to do a driving test in their language.... its gonna take a good while before you can earn. There is also a lot more patriotism in EU countries such as France, Spain, Portugal, Italy and employers aren't all that interested in taking on British people over their own. There is an exception though... You might be interested to know that Germany has recently given professional drivers a special visa. There are government led pathways into getting out there and finding work placements. You can just exchange your HGV license for a German one without any test and get working. If you do 5 years out there in that industry, you get granted permanent residency. You can take family and they will get the same status as you do and they can work. If you look on the German property websites, you can get a really nice 4/5 bedroom home for £150k. . . If you are serious about leaving then that does seem to be one of the only options in Europe right now. I was looking at the area south of Munich which is only 3-4 hours from Italy where I was originally looking at moving to but its a pipe dream there. Last year I did a big road trip down to Italy and then back up through Germany. Its an amazing place as is the whole western boarder, up through the black forest. The food, beer, social life, the culture is amazing and its spotlessly clean, has outstanding scenery and it turns out to be pretty cheap to buy property there. For a British only speaker, German is supposedly an easy language to learn. A lot of similar words and the language is structured like speaking English.

Really like your videos mate Could do with some advice on living in Cyprus, can you live in Cyprus but continue to work as if you’re still in the UK?

[@NuttersInCyprus]

Depends, if you have a working Visa you can work for a Cypriot company. If you have a job you can do remotely for a UK company, then you can get a different visa

[@Obione88]

Hope you can help ? Myself my husband my 18year old daughter and my 12 year old daughter are looking to move out to paphos ,but me my husband would have to work we are at the moment waiting for confirmation of jobs in November ,but are confused in what Visa and what else we need to do the pink slip says we can't work so what would we apply for hope you can help??

[@NuttersInCyprus]

Hi Helen, If your on a UK passport you can't work. Unless you have a sponsor. And then it'll be bar work most likely. As your daughter is over 18 she will have to have meet the yearly earnings criteria. For us it was roughly €28k per married couple + €4k per child. As your daughter is an adult, she would have to have an adults earnings needing to be met + the bank deposit in Cyprus.

Whats your thoughts on the overall medical system there....

Fortunately not had to use it yet. But everyone I've spoken to who has, have sworn it's really good

[@benrawlins8768]

The health system has improved in recent years it's hit and miss as which hospital you go to. Some horror stories but some great ones as well. I have private health insurance which I think is a good idea. The schools are. Very very poor if you have children and again best use a private school which are. Great.

Hi, 🤣 yeah everyone's wanting to come to Cyprus at the minute! Originally we wanted to move to Paralimni as we had been to Protaras for 1 weeks holiday a couple years ago! However we heard about Peyia in Paphos, did some research and decided that Paphos is more suited to full time living with children.

[@NuttersInCyprus]

Bar/restaurant work, yes! But you will need a sponsor and work more than you do in the UK but for less money. Depends what you want, if your moving here for lifestyle then maybe that suits you, if your moving here to progress your career, then maybe not the best option.

[@cyprusman5908]

We sold up everything in the 'YUK' 21 years ago, and still happy living in sunny Cyprus. Even with WW3 going on next door ! And it's far too hot in June-August although some people go back to the UK or somewhere cooler during these months. Otherwise life is great here. Oh the driving is a bit dodgy but you get to know what to look out for. Our village Council tax was €176.50 this YEAR and we get our wheelie bin emptied twice a week ! Lots of other good things about living here as well.😎

[@NuttersInCyprus]

That council tax is pretty much my monthly UK bill, bins was every 2 weeks. Here in Peyia it's 2-3 times a week 😀

Good for you mate. We made the move to Australia 31 years ago and never look back. I was 29 years old with three little babies and very disheartened with the way the UK was looking for the future. Most thought we were mad to them we had the dream, nice house , new car and worked for myself oh yes seven days a week .Sure it gets lonely and you miss weddings birthdays funerals etc and catching up with your mates is probably the most thing l miss, but you make new friends and have new adventures. We made a pact that we would give it two years and if either one of us didn’t like it for whatever reason we wouldn’t argue with each other that we would just return because what’s the worst thing you could do go back, I never wanted to be 10 years down the track thinking I wonder what it would’ve been like? Really enjoy watching your videos good luck to you guys and your family keep living the dream 👍

We lived in Pissouri until 10 years ago. Moved back to Scotland as our son didnt like Cyprus and admittedly i was on the fence myself. However, in hindsight, it was the wrong move. The UK is finished. Im 52 now and after Brexit the chances of moving anywhere without decent cash behind you is limited. We wouldnt come back to Cyprus because the wages are too low. Still wish we had stayed though
