Just about to do residency, does anyone know if its changed much from last year,

i.e. trip to police, then the state Hospital, then back to police, then Lefkosa. Do u need stamps? i cant remember, and how much this year as im sure it will have gone up !!

Depends if you are over 60 or under as the requirements differ.

I think the only thing that has changed is where you take the blood test as I believe there is a list of places now and the police send you to one of these. I think the blood test is about 135tl not sure of the price for the xray. You need stamps at Lefkosa immigration.

Very quick & easy to renew residency now - just take all required documents directly to Lefkosa. The only very recent change is the stamp is now 9tl and not 8.5tl as quoted on most sites.

If you are a regular blood donor you do not need to pay for a blood test but your last donation must have been within a month of your renewal. You then simply provide a copy of you donor card and for that last blood donation say that you need the results for your residency ( as all blood donations are tested ).

Then you go to Lefkosa blood bank a week later to get your results..............no charge.

I hasten to add the above is if you are under 60 and you still go to the police station at Girne first. If you are over 60 you do not need a blood test or x -ray and you do it all in one day at Lefkosa.

Please remember to search forum for previous threads as this will probably explain what is required better than I have.
