Non lucrative visa

Hi all, is there anyone on the forum who has recently obtained the above visa to enter cyprusfor full term residence. I am aware that the process should start. In your own country,in my case the UK.I have attempted to contact the Cypriot consul in the UK, but to no avail..The staff in the consul do not seem to wish to engage in conversation or to discuss the requirements. I,am 76  years old and will be in a position to meet the financial requirements for moving to Cyprus. Any suggestions or answers will be gratefully accepted. T,hanks in anticipation of  replies. Yours John.
