I am a Canadian citizen and my wife and kids are both Canadian and Greek Citizen. We all live in Canada for now but we are planning to move to Cyprus next year.
1) Would I be granted Permanent Resident because of the status of my wife and kids?
2) will My wife and Kids receive free health service and education?
3) If no to the question 1) if I go through the Golden Visa for Permanent Resident: Would I get Health Insurance automatically and be able to work?
Thanks
