Relocation from the UK to Cyprus

Post by CAHGPUC » Mon May 11, 2020 10:02 pm

Hello everyone,

After 6 years of working in London, UK/EU citizen is planning to move to Cyprus for permanent work.

Some questions:
1. Is it obligatory to contact my UK bank? Or can I simply leave my account open here?
2. Shall I do anything with:
2.1. Council Tax?
2.2. Vote Register?
2.3. HMRC?
3. What is going to happen with my UK pension?
4. Is it a good idea to consider to contribute to National Insurance while I am abroad?

Just to sum up, what shall I do while I am in the UK, so I can relocate to the new place without worrying that something stayed incomplete here?

Thank you!

Do you mean your private pension or your State Pension?

Do you plan to return or to reside abroad when you retire?

Both cases, if you are aware, please.

There is a chance that it might be abroad, but hard to say for sure as I am pretty far away from that age at the moment.
