Hi all, sorry if I'm asking things that've been asked before - I'm new here, this is my first post! Anyway, I'm planning to come back to the TRNC to start up a business in a few months. My bank manager has told me I'll need a character reference for the application. Is that right? I'm not from the UK but can get a reference from my country. I'm wondering what happens to it, what checks are done? Is it used to consider approval for residency perhaps? Is a work permit automatically granted when you set up a business?



Also, will I be able to employ my wife to work for me in the business or will I have to apply for a work permit for her? What documents will she need. She is from the UK.



Are character references only needed when buying property?



Thanks for any advice.
