Citizenship Application
This service is available across Cyprus
Who Is This Service For?
- Anyone who does not have the right to reside in Cyprus, such as non-EU Citizens, and even those who may reside here legally - such as EU citizens - may think it preferable to make an application for citizenship.
- Citizenship confers the right on the holder to reside and work – not just in Cyprus - but in any EU country. Also, citizens have the right to vote as well as the plethora of rights typically conferred on citizens of a country.
- You may apply if you find yourself in any of these groups:
- You were born in Cyprus to Cypriot mother or father
- You were born abroad and one of your parents is Cypriot
- You are not Cypriot, but you have lived in Cyprus legally for a minimum of 7 years
- You are married to a Cypriot spouse, and you live in Cyprus together for minimum 4 years
- It is unnecessary for children of a Cypriot man to go through the citizenship process if they can prove their heritage by producing the appropriate birth-certificates.
- Also, Cyprus permits dual-citizenship, so it is unnecessary to forgo your existing citizenship.
- Please note that there do exist some special rules and limitations so you should discuss the matter with an immigration lawyer to make sure you are eligible
Requirements
- Legal Framework: Applications for Cypriot citizenship fall under the purview of specific Cypriot legislation, including the Civil Registry Laws of 2002-2013, and the Regulations regarding the Naturalization of Investors in Cyprus by Exception, which outline the legal basis for acquiring citizenship either by descent, marriage, or naturalization based on years of residence.
- Documentation: All applications must be accompanied by documents duly authenticated, either with the Apostille stamp for countries part of the Hague Convention or through verification by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Cypriot diplomatic mission in the country of origin.
