Why Cyprus<\/span><\/h2>\n

Situated at the maritime crossroads of the eastern Mediterranean basin, Cyprus offers the perfect balance between work and relaxation, with long sunny days in a stress-free atmosphere and beautiful surroundings, Cyprus enjoys an idyllic Mediterranean lifestyle, 340 days of sunshine a year and some of the most welcoming people in the world\u2026all in a modern and well-functioning environment.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

AFFORDABLE ACCOMMODATION<\/span><\/h3>\n

The average cost of a well-furnished 274sqm apartment in the city centre ranges from \u20ac646.00 a month in a normal area. For the same in an expensive area, you\u2019ll be looking at\u00a0\u20ac911.00. This allows you to be at the heart of the Cypriot social scene and its many restaurants, bars and sights for less.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hospitality, accompanied by authentic smiles and friendly faces, is what characterises Greek Cypriot people. Loyal to family bonds, traditions and culture, lovers of nice food and endless entertainment.<\/p>\n

Using a traditional mix of herbs and spices, olive oil and fresh local ingredients the Cyprus cuisine is Mediterranean in nature and considered by many doctors around the world to be the healthiest diet in the world. Having endless fun is guaranteed once you\u2019re on the island.<\/p>\n

All cities have a plethora of nightclubs and bars, which promise an unforgettable time. People in Cyprus firmly believe that all experiences should be enjoyed and the finer things in life should never be rushed.<\/p>\n

Cypriots are a friendly, amiable bunch and some of the nicest people you could ever hope to meet. After living in Cyprus for any given time though, you begin to notice that there are two very different types people (as in most countries) when it comes to dealing with British expatriates, or foreigners in general.<\/p>\n

The first group is exceedingly friendly, welcoming, and utterly genuine. With them, what you see is what you get, and so long as you fit in as a part of their local community you can\u2019t go far wrong.<\/p>\n

Then there\u2019s the second group. These are the people who see foreigners as nothing more than a means of making extra money. Again, they are friendly and welcoming, however, anything but genuine.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0When it comes to the cost of living in Cyprus, most expats when they first come over think that almost everything is slightly over priced but then realize that most products and services are anywhere between 20% and 50% lower than the UK and significantly lower than many other European nations.<\/p>\n

According to EU data, the cost of living in Cyprus is about 25% lower than the European average. However, expats from Asia and Africa are likely to find this island quite\u00a0expensive. Foreigners can easily purchase a house or buy land and build a home in this country.<\/p>\n

The price of real estate is quite reasonable compared to the US, UK and many other nations.<\/p>\n

The healthcare system in the North and South of Cyprus is on par with international standards. Expats can choose between public and private healthcare. The country\u2019s National Healthcare System offers free medical care at the point of delivery for everyone.<\/p>\n

Cypriots on low incomes are entitled to free or subsidized treatments. Emergency treatment at government hospitals is provided free of charge to everyone, including foreign nationals; however, subsequent in-patient treatment costs will have to be paid by those who don\u2019t qualify for free treatment.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Cyprus is the 3rd largest island in the Mediterranean Sea in terms of population as well as area. Cyprus is strategically placed at the intersection of Europe, Asia and Africa. Since gaining independence in 1960, Cyprus has been a very popular tourist and living location for several years now. For those who want to strike a balance between work and their personal lives, Cyprus is the perfect place to be.<\/p>\n

The pace of life in Cyprus is exactly how you want it to be and that flexibility is a big positive. If you prefer it slow, go with the flow \u2013 few people are ever very busy. If you like a faster paced style of life \u2013 no matter whether that is partying, professional or outdoors \u2013 there is nothing stopping you.<\/p>\n

Anyone who spends over 183 days a year in this county is entitled to become a tax resident. This means that you will have to pay a tax on any income you earn locally and overseas. Using a traditional mix of herbs and spices, olive oil and fresh local ingredients the Cyprus cuisine is Mediterranean in nature and considered by many doctors around the world to be the healthiest diet in the world.<\/p>\n

Having endless fun on the weekends is guaranteed once you move to the island with fun music, non-stop dancing, exclusively made drinks, amazing people and incredible nightlife located on the beach, locals would say you get the best of both worlds.<\/p>\n

Situated at the crossroads of Europe, Asia and Africa, Cyprus\u2019s geographical location has long been considered as an advantageous gateway in international trade.<\/p>\n

In recent years the island has also become a significant hub for financial services, law and international shipping and offers countless investment opportunities. With the discovery of gas fields located off the island\u2019s southern coast, the importance of the island continues to increase.<\/p>\n

Cyprus enjoys an advanced and efficient infrastructure. A modern road network ensures transport across the island is simple and fast. International airports in Larnaca and Paphos provide flights to and from Europe and the Middle East, and extensive shipping facilities in Limassol and Larnaca serve the island\u2019s prevalent import and export markets.<\/p>\n

Substantial investment has been made to advance the technological infrastructure of the island. Cyprus has a well-established telecommunications network, recognised as one of the best in the region.<\/p>\n

If you are considering moving to Cyprus and have kids that should not stop you. Whenever you go out to eat, shop or similar, you will experience Cyprus as a very child-friendly place and everywhere across the country, you will find plenty of kindergartens and schools of high quality and in multiple languages. You will struggle to find a kindergarten in a local language such as Swedish, Italian, Spanish, Hungarian or similar. There are plenty of great English or Russian speaking options for your kids with native speaking teachers. In Cyprus, children start school or preschool around the age of five and you will find plenty of private English, American or Russian schooling options.<\/p>\n

GDPR Statement<\/strong><\/h3>\r\nGDPR is a new paradigm for data protection rights in the EU. And, in particular rights of Data Subjects to control their own data \u2013 what it\u2019s used for, who has it, and why.\r\n\r\nThe General Data Protection Regulation brings together disparate data protection regimes across the EU. In addition to granted individuals greater control over their data, there are significant penalties for non-compliance and for data breaches.\r\n\r\nThat\u2019s why Archer Recruitment takes its compliance with the GDPR, as well as previous Data Protection legislation, very seriously. We see it as a central part of the service we provide to our clients and to our candidates.\r\n\r\nWe were ahead of the game early in 2017 when we started to implement our solution, gathering consent from candidates on our database. We informed candidates of their rights as Data Subjects and published our Data Privacy Policy. Since then, we have been taking all steps necessary towards full GDPR compliance.\r\n\r\nBenefits of Using a GDPR Compliant Agency<\/strong>\r\n\r\nBy using Archer Recruitment for your IT needs, you ensure that all candidate data you receive from us has been gathered lawfully, safely and with the candidate\u2019s knowledge and permission. Not only does this make for a more transparent, open process, and a better candidate experience, it helps you to avoid the significant penalties that come with non-compliance.\r\n\r\nArcher Recruitment only supplies the data that is absolutely necessary for the recruiting process (and that we have permission to share with you). This eases your burden and responsibilities as a Data Controller in your own right, as you will be storing only the data you need to be storing.\r\n[\/av_textblock]\r\n[\/av_one_half]\r\n\r\n[av_one_half min_height='' vertical_alignment='' space='' custom_margin='' margin='0px' padding='0px' border='' border_color='' radius='0px' background_color='' src='' background_position='top left' background_repeat='no-repeat' animation='' mobile_display='']\r\n\r\n[av_iconlist position='left' iconlist_styling='' custom_title_size='' custom_content_size='' font_color='' custom_title='' custom_content='' color='custom' custom_bg='#c30e2f' custom_font='' custom_border='' custom_class='' admin_preview_bg='']\r\n[av_iconlist_item title='2019' link='' linktarget='' linkelement='' icon='ue841' font='entypo-fontello']\r\nThe Future is Bright<\/strong>\r\n\r\nArcher continues to grow internationally.
