Based south of Turkey and close to Italy, the country is geographically located in Asia, but it is politically a European country, and is even a member of the European Union (EU), and may soon become a part of the Schengen Zone.

- EU Nationals in Cyprus

As a member of the EU, the principle of the free movement of workers within Europe has been applied in Cyprus since 1st May 2004.

- UK Nationals in Cyprus
As of 31 December 2020, the United Kingdom has officially ended freedom of movement within the European Union and thus should abide by the Cyprus immigration rules for third-country nationals.

- Non-EU Nationals (Third-Country Nationals) in Cyprus
Non-EU students need to exit Cyprus within 60 days of completion of their study programme in Cyprus.

Students from non-EU member states who want to take employment in Cyprus are subject to labour market tests. This means that the job position has to be offered first to Cypriots and EU nationals and, in the absence of a competent prospect, the position will be offered to non-EU nationals.

- Cyprus Work Permit
The work permit is initiated in Cyprus by your employer, who will fulfill the requirements of inviting the foreign employee according to Cypriot law, and then send an invitation letter to the intended employee.

- Temporary Residence Permits
The Cyprus residence permit allows foreign nationals to legally live in Cyprus for longer than three months.

- General Employment

The application for Entry and Temporary Residence and Employment Permit is submitted by your employer.

This permit is for a maximum period of employment for 4 years, except for those exempt from the 4-year limit.

Find out the exemptions from the 4 year limit and other requirements for your Cyprus post-study work visa in our blog post...link below!

- Start-Up Permit
Founders, managers, and employees of innovative startup businesses from third countries are permitted to enter, reside, and work in Cyprus without the need to follow the process of a temporary residence and employment permit.

- Permanent Residence Permit
You can apply for this permit if you have lived in Cyprus with a Temporary Residence Permit for at least 5 years, during which time, you did not leave Cyprus for longer than 3 months.


- Naturalised Citizenship
Third-country nationals who have completed 7 years of legal residence in Cyprus are eligible to apply for citizenship.

You must have resided legally and continuously in Cyprus during the 12 months preceding the date of the application.
