If the TRNC authorities no longer issue ex-pats their work permits what else are they to do to earn a crust.

Have you ever thought this person could be picking up friends and family, or even working in the south.



Would have been nicer to talk to the guy and ask him why he was frequently going across instead of putting his registration on here!

So would you be prepared to rent a ex-pat a license, and now you are telling him to bugger of home I bet his developer wasn't so keen to see him return to the UK when he was handing over his brass.

I agree with Huseyin,



Poor guy is trying to make a legal living and an expat with no work permit , paying no taxes is cutting him out of a job. Yes we all pick up friends from Larnaca/Paphos but we also know others who do it for a business and why should they get away with it! Also the so called Property maintainence people who are not registered who do anything for 10%



But on other side why dont they get work permits from TRNC , why is there this barrier to trying to earn a living that makes people go underground.

You will get more sympathy (and I do ) when TC's begin to shout about the abuse of honest foreign housebuyers who have come to the TRNC to support this economy and find themselves ripped off by builders, government, lawyers, shopkeepers ...... The list goes on.

At the end of the day the TRNC Government are very strict regarding working without a valid permit. The chances are that he will be deported. Is it worth the risk? Or is it necessity and without this money survival would be difficult?



Only the person working illegally can answer this.

nctaxis..... Was it your union that tried to stop people picking up friends and family from Ercan ?



Of course people, both Ex-pats, Greek Cypriot, Turkish and Turkish Cypriots should pay their taxes but the TRNC is full of people exploiting others as part of the black economy.

I can count on the fingers of one hand the times I have received a tax receipt for cash paid in the last month. This is a rip-off, corrupt economy and open to all kinds of fraudulent behavour.

It's the government's job to correct this but they're part of the problem. Even the cause of it, being more concerned with their personal aggrandizement rather than their constituents well being.

But he won't be entitled to benefits if he has been out of the country for more than 6 months. It is impossible to return and claim benefits as they will look at your work/tax history. If he is starving the poor man is in real trouble.

You make me laugh! If this was Blighty many of you would be moaning abt immigrants taking our jobs and houses and the NHS. If this guy is operating illegally the Greek Cypriot Taxi drivers will get him sooner or later. Believe me!



The other point that many on this forum repeatedly stress is unregulated drivers have no insurance to cover

themselves as taxi drivers. what if an accident...

Visitor, hit the nail on the head!



also when buying here and getting residency you have to show that you can support yourself and its obvious TROTSKY that this guy cant or obviously thinks he is above the law regarding residency.

Its high time the whole country sorted out its black economy and if that makes me unpopular with some EXPATS then sorry but why not go by the laws of the country.

Yes theres big problems with greedy landowners, builders lawyers, Bankers to name a few but why did most come to TRNC - to retire and enjoy life not carry on scamming and bringing all other expats down to your level.

Gusanova, Maybe because of the greedy landowners, builders, Lawyers and Bankers is the reason the xpats have to work, maybe they came over to retire with enough money to live only to have it scammed off them?

Perhaps if the price was better they would use you huseyn you have insurance for the south I take it?Would you enlighten me if it is hire or reward fully comp or probably the same as his 3rd party?.He or she are obviously satisfying their customers so why would they pay extra? Maybe they feel safer? According to a VERY good police friend of mine the number of none expats that have no insurance do not pay fines or taxes or rent is high!!!! pot, kettle,black?????

nctaxis,



When you cover the letter T on your number plate before crossing into the ROC, One can only assume you are entering the ROC as a private car and not a Taxi, how come you can take fare paying passengers in your car, !!!!!! by your own actions you cease to be a Taxi.

Please enlighten me.

If the Ex Pat is carrying out unlicensed taxi work, then Huseyin is right to complain and the TRNC authorities should take action against him.

If TRNC licensed taxis' are operating illegally in the ROC, it is a matter for the GC authorities to deal with them as well as the unlicensed ex pat. I cannot understand how anyone can start saying that because some ex pats have been ripped off it makes it ok for the rules to be flouted. As has already been said, if it happened in a similar fashion in the UK (and I know that it does) then people would be shouting about foreigners taking work from legal taxi drivers and being uninsured. You can't have it both ways. Wrong is wrong, the law is the law and all need to live by the same rules.

So are TC taxis allowed to ply their trade in the South ?

If not, then I would conclude that Huseyin is working illegally and therefore has no right to complain about others trying to earn a (albeit dishonest) buck.

Interested to hear the answer.

I totally agree with message 1. I do not think that an unregistered/unlicensed taxi be it Cypriot or Expat should be ferrying people anywhere.



The local Taxi drivers have put a lot of effort and finance into getting their licences, insurances etc. Why then should an unregistered person who in all probability does not possess these licences or insurances be able to take business away from the bone fide taxi drivers.



Quote Message 2... 'If the TRNC authorities no longer issue ex-pats their work permits what else are they to do to earn a crust. '



I cannot recall seeing 'earn a crust' as a tick box on my application for residency in the TRNC.

Larnaca has nothing to do with you, did you report this to the police at Larnaca, Bet you never,

I wonder what the TC taxi drivers would do if the GC drivers picked up at Ercan on the same scale as you use Larnaca.

Totally agree with message 1, if the registration number is correct and they were operating as a taxi rather than a personal pick up drop off it won't be long before the authorities catch up with them.

As the 'crime' only took place in the south why would the TRNC authorities get involved?



what is illegal about taking a few friends to Metehan?



As to the plates, why do the legal taxis cover their 'T'?

I think the big question is about Driver/rPassenger Liabilty.



No policy in the TRNC, unless it is added on , covers the driver & occupants of the vehicle for medical expenses.



I do not think many folk understand this. It is an extra policy. Even on the north side, should he/she have an accident and it is his fault, he may not have cover for himself and his passengers unless he has taken out extra cover. If it is not his fault , as in a case, I had this week, the other driver had no tax or insurance, it was their fault, then there are serious implications. When he/she goes south side there is no cover! It is Third party only.



NSURANCE IS NOT THE SAME AS IN THE UK.





A TRNC registered taxi driver has, by law, to have cover for the north side, but be ware, he only has thrid party for the south side



Do not take passengers, for payment, from the south side to the north side (unless you have explained the situation, they are n) or you have spoken to your ins

just want to mention to mess 55 that if the expat was a legal taxi paying his taxes then he would have a T plate on his car, so if he is working as a taxi it is proof enough by his number plate that he's illegal. it was also mentioned he charges £55 to Larnaca when registered taxis are charging £50 so where is the benefit to the passenger to use the illegal taxi!

I don't think as a foreigner you can get a work permit to work as a cab driver here in the trnc, otherwise I am sure that some expats would of been doing it legally by now instead of taking the gamble each time.

Its quite obvious that the border control in the trnc are not concerned about it, as they are not stupid and are I am sure, fully aware of what is happening.

There is no such thing as a legal taxi when they cross the border to the south the greeks view them all as illegals................they have to remove all taxi signs and cover T on number plate or face prosecution.



Those not wishing to break the law and be fully covered should change taxis at the border.



Any volunteers ?

The T is covered to stop Greeks stopping taxis for a fare, No ex pats cannot get a t plate and im sure if they had the 30 plus thousand euros they wouldnt even get it , im sure that was the cost last time i checked ?

Huseyin, you are in a same boat as "JT 848 illegal taxi english bloke" as you both are illegally picking up people from R.O.C.



You both are not insured there aswell and atleast "JT 848 illegal taxi english bloke" might be driving safer and not talking on his mobile phone while he is driving not like T.R.N.C Taxi drivers smoking, talking on mobile phones and speeding.



I'd rather use him and pay "JT 848 illegal taxi english bloke" extra than use some T.R.N.C Taxi drivers at least I'll arrive home "ALIVE".

the same insurance that RoC taxi has in the NORTH!!!!!!!!!!

which,by the agreement between RoC and TRNC are LEGAL,as long as thay don't pick up other customers,hence the reason they have to cover their Ts,be RoC or TRNC taxi.

is this really an illegal taxi, or legal private hire, there doesn't seem to be any licensed private hire in trnc, as in the UK. just licensed taxi's. So if a customer books someone privately and knows the insurance risks, what can one do, well,, apart from grass to the wrong cop's, take illegal pictures of people, and write on a forum. trying to get more business out of it. Will be taking you into their taxis at gun point next if they could get away with it.

Msg 72

How will the' Old Bill' as you call them (you must watch the reruns of 'The Sweeny') in TRNC arrest a person at Larnaca Airport,which is Greek territory.

I think you have a dilemma here-you cant prosecute a man for driving his car in TRNC, and you will struggle to do anything about him on the Greek side.

I would say you are p**sing into the wind,metaphorically speaking.

message 73 yes Larnaca is ROC but when they cross the border with passengers its TRNC.



In addition there is a certain tolerance that suits both communities. Txis are one of those areas.



I think GCY will not be so tolerant towards expats taking trade as they would be to TCYs

Having come here on holiday for many years and using local taxi-drivers, I have to say that the first one fell asleep at the wheel, the second one drove so badly we had to get out of the car and get someone else, the 3rd one overtook on a bend, leaving us gripping our seats. After that we vowed we would never, ever use a TC taxi driver for airport transfers. It's not about taking food off the table from the locals, it's about being with a driver who you feel safe with. I am sure there are safe TC drivers but we were never lucky enough to find one.



So I am glad there are a few British drivers, who are brave enough to run the gauntlet. More people I am sure would use the locals if they drove properly and not irresponsibly

It wasn't that long ago that I remember reading on here about an expat who used to do unlawful taxi runs to Larnaca whilst under the influence. If people are not happy with the driving standards of the firm they use then they are free to use another. I've never had any concerns over the standard of driving with the firm I've always used.

Well whether or not you agree about the expat taking passengers he has the same insurance as the taxis.As for the standard of driving how anyone can compare the driving standards in the uk to the standards here the test here is a joke.Sorry Yorg but it is.And as for the taxi companies here remember my post about which tariff they should be on as so many people came on and said they had been cheated I find it hard to simpathise with taxi drivers get on with your job treat the customers better and don,t cheat them and expats will use you instead.I was quoted by a taxi firm £140 one way to paphos ridiculous.

It realy doeasnt matter which way you look at this.There is an agrrememnt between the unions in north and south,as long as they dont pick up other customers in one anothers side.The mentioned brit..s....is,are not licensed to operate in either.

What about this?



I do not know this man they are talking about or his circumstances but just supposing an expat comes here and invests all his savings in a villa here, or more than one if his family have also bought. He pays VAT on the houses, he pays local tradesmen to do repairs etc;, he buys food from local shops, he eats at local restaurants, he pays taxes to the TRNC government for his rentals and he pays to advertise for customers on British websites to bring more tourists to the TRNC. In the deal to let his holiday home he offers free airport transfers, why would he not be allowed to do that.? He is after all paying taxes on his rental and helping the locals everyday put food on their table and if his price includes FREE airport transfers what is wrong with that?

How do you know that this man or others like him, have not come from the UK and lost all their life savings in a scam property deal? Where does he go from here? He loves this place, he invested his life savings here, he hates the UK and what it stands for, which is why he came here in the first place thinking that he would have plenty of money having paid outright for his house, now he is having to find rental accomodation because there is no house, never mind bread off the table, he has lost a lot more than that.

How many Cypriots went to the UK, with virtually nothing in their pockets by the way? they were allowed to work (as were many other nationalities) and build a good living,maybe even got financial help from our government, otherwise how did they live? they would not have lost their property to rougue builders that's for sure

Well thats a start yorg "no longer liked or wanted" bit racist there yorg perhaps you could enlighten us which nationalities you would accept here.Your cypriot compatriots were quite happy to take pounds when they were selling us houses that have not been built or completed on land that may or may not have been theirs.Perhaps some have been silly in thinking that ALL of you were honest and TRUSTWORTHY.!!!! And as for stealing your jobs as in the uk the foriegners come here to do jobs that the majority of the tc,s would not do because the conditions and wages are too low.I have many tc friends being told to employ locals when they cannot get any to work for the wages they want to pay.Also if they employ a non local many tc,s can just not pay them at all as they have no rights, dishonest, but thats life here.So many of your compatriots think menial jobs are beneath them!! a very shady part of living here. personally I like living here and yes the interest rates have dropped as everywhere

I have watched this thread for some time and the two main points seem to be as follows:



The "Expat" does not have a work permit. Has any body asked him or "demanded proof?



The other is that "Expats" seem to require a better standard of driving than is being offered by local firms.

If local taxi firms offered a better service with regard to the standard of driving then surely the "problem " would go away.

I comment from having been involved both driver training & licensing involving both cars, lgv pcv. & taxis in the UK. & having experienced taxi driving on occasion here.

I am aware that the same rules do not apply here but simply offer the above as a starter point.

What is it you don't understand nctaxis and yorgoslu ?......We expats get ripped off by Estate Agents, Builders, Developers, Advocate's, supermarkets who short change us and all and sundry.

Is it any wonder we are so sceptical about our welcome here and want, or need, to get something back.



And of course Cypriots are so law abiding aren't they and wouldn't dream of subventing the local laws would they ? Or of participating in the "black economy". Or evading tax.

Stop the righteous pontificating. It is hypocritical and nauseating.



The fact is that competition is a dirty word here especially to the unions and you cannot handle it. Well.......if the talks prove successful you will have to cope with EU and international competition and that will be a real culture shock !

Expats are not shy when in comes to critizing Cypriots when they do break the law or participate in the black economy etc. isn't it a bit hypocritical not to condemn an expat doing the same? It's not competition if it's not a level playing field.

Well this has been interesting reading, clearly expats are not welcome in northern cyprus as clearly stated by Yorgozlu, what an unpleasant rascist little horror he is.



I think expats who are not housebound should rethink their future there.



I still wouldn't get in a taxi driven by a tc or a gc, I value my life way too much.

Not all "this lot" Yorguzlu.

In todays Cyprus Today news paper there is a report that there is to be a crackdown on illegal taxis with checks at the border etc.

Will this be the end of the moonlighters.

Getting a friend or relative to pick you up is not ILLEGAL !



Have used a lot of TRNC taxis over the years, bar a couple of good drivers, would never travel long journey with any of them again................unless at gunpoint !



Authorities would be better occuppied in a closer examination of said taxi drivers so called driving skills !

It would seem to me that the TCs and GCs taxi drivers are operating an illegal cartel when working in each other territory. With all the threats being bandied around I would suggest a low profile approach should be taken by those who oppose the cartel.

Message 136. I can't think of anything we would say that we cannot say on the Forum. I repeat I am not doing anything illegal. We do not charge and as a group of friends we are entitled to do as we do. What do you think you are doing by posting my personal details on the Forum (ie car registration). MODs please note.



You started the thread and now you don't like the replies but an overwelming majority seem to think that they would rather not travel a long distance by taxi. My last post on the subject.

vesala you are out of touch so many tc,s rely on the black economy because their compatriots will not work in these jobs as they think its beneath them they all want to be bosses.So many brits would rather collect benefits too so its a common thing.The advantage here is if tc,s employ visitors those they employ have no rights and can do nothing if they are not paid as many are not,If they employ their own they have to pay tax etc so the authorities here turn a blind eye as many that work for the authorities have relatives that support the black economy the evidence is in the cafes in the square with the number of foriegn staff and in the catering trade generally. I also wonder how many taxi drivers are part of the black economy have they even got licences? are they paying taxes have they all got work permits? etc etc

I forgot to mention nc taxis using the words (sh*t box cars) very amusing when you see the state of a lot of the taxis in use, 20% would not pass any sort of test and 40% would not pass a taxi test in the uk, they even get put off the road in the uk if they are dirty. If you want more trade huseyn the expats have told how to do it for free, 1 good drivers you have passengers who want to get to their destination,2 charge a fair price not one you have agreed between yourselves,3 try and keep the chip off your shoulder every one because else rips us off it does not give you the right to !!

Legal or not I appreciate having friends take me to or collect me from the airports. It is not like it is a business normally it is difficult getting friend to even accept petrol money. I do not know of any airport anywhere in the world where friends cannot drive friends to the airport. Perhaps a Taxi gets a parking space nearer to departure but in the real world Taxis realize people do have dependable friends.

Surely, as human beings, whether we are ex-pats or not, we should be allowed to choose whom we trust with our destiny, we should be allowed to feel safe and many of us have come here to live or holiday and of course we used the local taxi drivers, until they scared us to death!!!!



NC taxis very kindly put the ex-pats licence plate on the forum. Just a suggestion,what about naming and shaming the bad local taxi drivers, so that we can decide who we feel safe with. So if you have a bad experience put their reg on the forums and if certain names keep cropping up, then we should all report them. Good local taxi drivers will get more food on their table and we can breathe easily in their cabs .



So the local taxi driver, on his mobile who overtook me on a bend today, after tailgating me for ages, would be my choice

all i can deduce is that ...if this was in the UK and a pakistani /somalian or other was taking away your trade, illegally... you would be screaming !!! yes good and bad taxi drivers are here ....but at the end of it all..............................you expats are soooo happy to slag off the UK and the imigrants taking trade and benefits , isnt that partly the reason why you came here because the UK has let you down???...remember you are all imigrants in Cyprus...just like those in the UK ????

Re 147



Good point - However, immigrants in the UK have rights, can claim benefits etc etc etc unless of course they are there illegally, in which case they will still have certain rights afforded them. Expats who are here legally have non of these luxuries. There is a subtle difference

good point also,other then........one shouldn't expect rights in an unrocognised estate.Perhaps that might have something to do with immigrants not having rights in trnc.
