For many people Cyprus is an attractive destination, which impresses not only with its beautiful beaches, but also with its friendly people, history and culture. However, anyone planning to stay on the island for a longer period of time will need a residence permit. This is also known as a ‘Yellow Slip’ and is an important document for all foreigners who wish to stay in Cyprus for more than 90 days. This is especially true for Europeans. Cyprus is not a member of the Schengen area, which is why a “yellow slip” is also required for them in case of a longer stay or emigration.
The Yellow Slip serves as proof for all foreigners who wish to live, work or study in Cyprus. It is issued by the local immigration office and can be applied for through an agent. In order to obtain a residence permit, foreigners must fulfill various conditions. This includes, among other things, proof of sufficient financial means to support themselves, as well as proof of public health insurance or private health insurance.
It is advisable to apply for a residence permit early to avoid the stressful process of applying. With the “Yellow Slip” residence permit you can move around Cyprus without restrictions, work and much more. So, if you are planning to stay on the island for a longer period of time, you should not forget this important step.
