Expat communities

The unofficial Cyprus orientation programme runs in Facebook groups and a few Telegram channels. Every relocator joins at least 2-3.

We've curated the most active and least scammy. KyanoLab is not affiliated — these are public spaces, lurk before you post.

One safety note: these groups are public spaces. Don't share passport copies, bank details, or full contracts. Anyone asking for those in DMs is almost certainly a scammer — even if they claim to be a "verified pro". Use our directory for that.
