WELCOME TO THE BRS WEBSITE FOR NORTH CYPRUS
RESIDENCY STATUS SURVEY
The BRS is collecting data from its members on their ‘residency status’ to better understand how many members apply for residency and which residency category they apply for. This should help us when talking to Government departments. Once the survey is completed, the information will be added to each member’s profile. The survey will take no longer than 1 minute of your time – please click just one box that matches your particular circumstance.
Please click here to participate.
Thank you for taking part.

The objectives of the Society are to foster friendly relations with the people of Cyprus, to advise and assist members and to make representation on their behalf to the authorities.
TO JOIN PLEASE CLICK HERE. BRS welcomes new members. Full membership is open to all holders of a valid British Passport, who own or rent a property. Children under 18 whose parent(s) are full members may be registered as a "child member" allowing them to have full membership benefits.
Associate Membership is available to other nationalities providing they are TRNC residents.
There is an annual subscription of just 200TL per person per annum for 2025/2026, due on the 1st January each year and which runs out on 31st December. .
To renew membership or to join us, please see the Meet Us page for details of clinics.
Although we provide a service mainly to our members, we try to assist anyone else who asks. Most of our website advice and many of our services are shared with all who live or wish to live in the TRNC regardless of nationality. The Society is strictly non-partisan and non-profit making.
The BRS has existed since 1975 and during that time has been able to influence successive TRNC governments in improving the quality of life for many ex-patriates. In addition to our work on residency, property and health, our members benefit financially from:
- A current discount list of 50+ businesses
- Discounts at leading private hospitals
- Low cost banking from Creditwest
If you would like to have a chat in person, please visit one of our clinics. For details of when and where, please click here.
