Frequently asked questions

Can I import a right-hand drive car to Cyprus?

RHD accepted (matches CY).

How much duty will I pay in Cyprus?

10% duty + 19% VAT + CO2-based registration tax.

How long does clearance take in Cyprus?

7–14 working days.

Can a non-Cypriot EU citizen import duty-free?

EU citizens taking up residence in Cyprus get the same TOR relief as Cypriot nationals on the same terms — 12 months overseas, 6 months ownership.

Does the UK-Cyprus exit affect duty?

Yes — since Brexit, UK vehicles attract 10% MFN duty unless TOR applies. Pre-Brexit imports were duty-free under intra-EU rules.
