Some thing we have come up against now on this is that we need to obtain proof of co-habitation in the uk and Cyprus as part of the immigration. We did obtain a council certificate to certify we were both on the electoral roll at the same address for over 5 years but then they asked for this doc to be signed by a council employee! Apparently we need to find the local Muktah to also certify we are co-habiting.
We also needed to visit a hospital to get blood tests and chest x-rays. This was easy and only cost 68 euro each no appointment needed and results the next day.
UK police checks from ACRO also requested and these cost 55.00 GBP each and take approx 12 weeks plus time to have redirected to Cyprus.
There is also the normal copies of passport etc but these are easier compared to the above. My suggestion is sort out the ACRO before coming over and look into the council certification in advance.
All of this was not expected and we were only told a week before our immigration appointment. This has now been postponed as we cannot obtain all the docs. I understand some of the changes only came into law on the 1st jan 2023 but they were in the pipe a few weeks before and we could have been told to prepare rather than at the last minute
