Immigration lawyers in Cyprus – Review – Work Permits – Completed on 6th February 2012
We have definitely noticed a rise in queries for residency and work permits in Cyprus. We have queries on a daily basis from all countries but sadly it is not easy for everybody in these struggling economic times.
Jobs are more likely to be given to locals than they are foreigners especially for unskilled workers and still more likely for skilled workers.
For EU citizens work permits are not needed since Cyprus joined the European Union in 2004. However, you must register with the immigration and obtain your registration certificate known as a yellow slip. It is still very much advised to first seek employment to avoid disappointment and unnecessary travel.
For Non – EU Citizens it is much more complicated. A work permit must be obtained and will only be granted for a 1 year period. The work permit will also only be granted if employment has been offered and this must be due to the fact that no local Cypriot citizens or EU citizens are able to do the job.
It is advised to learn the local language to help your application.
We also believe having Russian, German, English, Hebrew and Arabic as an added language would be a great advantage but is not a legal requirement.
It is not just Cyprus that are looking to employ local individuals this is the same practice all over the world at the moment. Only due to foreign investment and certain tourism markets are other speaking staff required but avoided if possible.
Truth of the matter is unless you have major funds to invest in the country of your choice obtaining residency or work permits is a hard battle all over the world. But this is why we are here to try and help every case individually.
Our immigration department can help in all areas of immigration contact for any queries you have either inside or outside of Cyprus.
