Rights of UK expats in Cyprus assured in case of no-deal Brexit
February 14, 2019
In the case of a no-deal Brexit, British citizens currently residing in Cyprus will be able to continue residing and enjoying the same rights as provided for in Britain’s withdrawal agreement with the EU, the government said on Wednesday.
The government informed the UK government of its decision on British citizens’ rights after the UK withdraws from the EU in a letter sent by Foreign Minister Nikos Christodoulides to Britain’s Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt.
The withdrawal agreement negotiated between British Prime Minister Theresa May and the EU was rejected by the British parliament last month, raising the prospect of the UK crashing out of the EU on March 29 without a deal.
