Residency permits post Brexit

Good morning

I'm a new member, live in Bristol, married with two adult children and three cats.

My husband and I purchased our Paphos apartment a good few years ago intending to retire or at least spend two or three months there after retirement. We haven't managed that part yet and still have a few years to go.

I am wondering if the MEU1 is available to us.

We are both employed, have funds in both UK and Cyprus bank accounts. We both have pre existing medical conditions so adequate travel insurance is an absolute must for us.

I am just so fearful that Brexit will mean the loss of everything we worked for and dreamed of in Cyprus. Obviously much will depend on whatever the UK Government works out in the transition period, but flights are a concern, and so are visa requirements. The Europe wide travel permit seems ok, but if Cyprus joins the Schengen area, and a Schengen visa is required, that's another difficulty.

Thanks
Lisa
