UK trained driving instructors qualifications are now accepted in Cyprus. In order to work as a driving instructor in Cyprus you have to obtain a Cyprus
Driving Instructor Licence.
This procedure will normally take in excess of six months in order to establish residency and work permits etc. However it may be possible to shorten this time. I would suggest that your local MEP
may be of service if you encounter delays.
Apply at the Department of Road Transport Head office in Nicosia and submit the following:
Your UK Driving Instructor Licence.
Proof that you have worked as an ADI in the UK for three years.
Cyprus Driving Licence.
Cyprus Identity Card.
Medical Certificate. (From the hospital only - on form T.O.M. 17)
A Certificate of Good Character (From the Cyprus Police if you have been resident for six months. (A UK one or a combination of both MAY be accepted if resident less than this time).
