Can foreign
nationals take up employment in Cyprus?
Foreign nationals may be employed in Cyprus
provided they can first find a local employer who is willing to employ
them. The Cyprus employer must then submit an application for the issue
of a work permit, on behalf of the foreign national, to the competent
authority (the Immigration Office at the Ministry of Interior). If
the application is approved the foreign national will hold a work permit
for the specific job and for limited period of time. Recruitment
is therefore made directly by the employers or through agents; you have
to make your own direct contacts with interested employers,
intermediaries or employers' organizations, if you wish to take up
employment in Cyprus. More information about work
permits.
Can I get a
residence permit or a long-term visa for Cyprus?
Embassies of the
Republic of Cyprus are only authorized to issue tourist/visitor visas with
a maximum duration of 90 days. Anyone wishing to stay on the island
longer for any reason should enter Cyprus as a tourist and apply to the
Immigration Authorities in Cyprus for an extension of stay, explaining
their reasons. More information about residence
permits.
