Education International student stuck in home country waiting for a Cyprus student visa since September. can I still join university this semester?

0 Upvotes

I applied to Neapolis University Paphos last December for the LLB university of reading programme. I already paid the tuition and visa fee and my visa documents were delivered to their office on 17th August and submitted to the migration department in early September.

Classes started on October 6th and Im still stuck at home waiting for my entry permit.
I’ve emailed them numerous times about the visa they keep telling me they’re still waiting and will let me know, and that it’s the government’s fault and they’re actively chasing the migration department. I was also told students will be accepted until the week commencing 23rd October. It’s now 26th October and I still have no permit or clear answer about whether I can join late.

I also wanted access to my moodle to at least study and catch up from home but IT told me my registration is still pending and admissions didn’t reply to my emails when i asked them why.

I’ve been out of education for two years and I was supposed to be in uni by now I really can’t afford to lose another year. Is anyone else waiting for their Cyprus student visa or entry permit, particularly from NUP? Idk what to do every time I email them they ignore the list of inquiries i sent them and they just reply with the most generic answer ignoring my questions completely. Will I still be able to join this semester? If not then what happens to the tuition I paid?

Im honestly very lost on what to do at this point, so any advice or similar experiences would mean a lot.

Starting a business in Cyprus and confused about VAT?

Some important questions to consider:

- When must a business register for VAT?
- How do Cyprus VAT returns work?
- When does VIES reporting apply to EU business transactions?
- What records should you keep for purchases and sales?
- How do reverse-charge transactions work?

VAT treatment depends on the type of transaction, the customer and where the supply takes place.

Which Cyprus VAT topic would you like us to explain first?

Please share general questions without posting confidential business information.

Tourism Moutain day without much walking

2 Upvotes

Hello beautiful people of Cyprus.

I have been visiting this beautiful island for 6 years in a row this time of the year, and I'm only going to the beach and visiting cities, mainly between Lemesos and Paphos.

Unfortunately this year the weather for the first time is not warm and sunny enough for me and my gf to just melt at the beach, so we were wondering what else we could do.

One thing we always wanted to do is explore the mountains and mountain villages in Cyprus. The problem is that we don't have any hiking gear with us, not even proper shoes. What are some mountains that are hopefully the best we can visit and ideally be accessible by car so we don't have to hike that much?

Sorry for asking tourist questions, but what I'm looking for is not mentioned in any post I could find not wiki.

Thank you in advance

Help Any casual chess nights in Nicosia/Larnaka?

• Upvotes

Hey everyone!
Does anyone know of any casual chess nights or meetups happening in Nicosia/Larnaka during the week or on weekends?
I’m looking for something relaxed where I can grab a beer, have a chat, and play a few games with random people of different skill levels.
Not really looking for a competitive chess club or tournaments, just a friendly atmosphere where amateur players can meet up and enjoy some chess.
Any recommendations would be appreciated. Cheers!

Off-Topic Shoutout to Meowmeow Cat litter

12 Upvotes

I am so glad I came across this post https://www.reddit.com/r/cyprus/comments/1wdgetd/conversation_over_the_litter_box/ from u/Playful_Lie5951.

After reading their story I decided to give the product a try, since I wanted to support a Cypriot business and a new venture, and I have to say it's much better than anything else I've ever tried.

I have two cats and consume a looot of litter. I have always bought natural litters (mostly from wood fiber), but even the best ones would always produce a lot of dust and my cats would get residue stuck between their paws and bring it all over the place. Clumping and odour control is also much better than other products. I couldn't recommend it enough.

Thank you u/Playful_Lie5951 for creating this wonderful product, I hope your company will thrive in the future.

I have to thank Reddit for this one, would have never found it otherwise! Cheers.

Question Cyta Fiber internet installation

3 Upvotes

Going from Cablenet to Cyta Fiber. Cyta visited our house today, and after an inspection, they informed me that I have to contact an electrician to run the cable from the roof to where we want it.

Is this normal? I would expect that when you take a service from a provider, they will install it.

Question Volunteering in Limassol

8 Upvotes

I moved to Limassol couple of months ago and want to do some volunteer work. I could work with kids, cats, hospitals, schools, cultural events, even prison. I've searched throughout websites, sent emails to municipality, ngo-s, no reply from anyone.

I am familiar with publicly/online available info, is there anything you know or do which I might have missed?
