Verified specialists in Cyprus
Companies that work with our readers: estate agents, banks, schools and clinics. We check documents against official registers where a register exists and show the check date. We do not publish company phone numbers or emails — you send a request through our form and we pass it to no more than five suitable companies.
Estate agents are checked in the Cyprus Real Estate Agents Registration Council (CREA) register. Schools, clinics and banks have no single open register, so their licence is not confirmed; we do not fill fields with guesses.
What the verification mark means
FAQ
- Do I need a visa for Cyprus?
- EU citizens do not, only registration after three months; non-EU citizens need a residence permit. Cyprus is not in Schengen, so entry follows national rules (check with a consulate).
- How much do I need to live on?
- A family reference is from €1,500 a month for rent, groceries and utilities; that is a market estimate as of 10.10.2026, not a guarantee.
The employee's GESY contribution is 2.65% and the minimum wage is €1,000 gross a month (checked 10.10.2026).
