How it works in Cyprus
Traffic is left-hand, and that changes your habits — not just which side of the road you use. Foreign licenses are valid for a limited period; after that — exchange through road department. The car is registered there as well; a technical inspection is mandatory.
What we need from you to get started
- National driving licence and passport
- Proof of address
- Determining whether you are buying a car or renting one
Where things most often go wrong
- —They delayed exchanging their driving licence and ended up without insurance coverage after an accident
- —Bought an imported car with unpaid customs duties
- —Didn’t account for the mandatory vehicle inspection and road tax
Fees, processing times, and institutional requirements change several times per year, which is why they are not listed here: we verify and quote them as of the date of submission.
