Which routes are worth discussing?
Answer a few broad questions. This checklist runs in your browser and gives preliminary information, not a legal eligibility decision. No passport numbers, names or documents are needed.
Your starting points
These results do not confirm eligibility, work permission or application approval. Family-member routes, existing residence rights, Brexit protections, study and digital-nomad options may require a separate assessment.
Discuss these options with CyprusMoveStart with your circumstances.
Nationality, work plans, resources and family status can change the route you need. These four options are a starting point, not an exhaustive list.
Pink Slip
A temporary visitor residence route for people who can support their stay without relying on employment in Cyprus.
- Discuss your income, accommodation and insurance.
- Do not assume it permits local work or remote business activity.
- Application and renewal requirements must be checked for your household.
Yellow Slip
The MEU1 registration certificate for qualifying EU/EEA citizens. It is registration under free-movement rules, rather than a temporary visa.
- Employment, self-employment or sufficient resources may provide a basis.
- Insurance requirements depend on your circumstances.
- Non-EU family members need their own route assessed.
Work Permit
For non-EU nationals pursuing an appropriate residence and employment permission, with the employer and job assessed under the relevant category.
- A job offer and employer requirements matter.
- Company formation alone does not grant work rights.
- Business owners and remote workers need tailored advice.
Fast Track Permanent Residency
An investment-based route for qualifying non-EU applicants under Regulation 6(2), subject to investment, income and other criteria.
- A qualifying investment starts at €300,000; rules differ by investment type.
- Secure annual income starts at €50,000, with additions for dependants.
- Buying any property does not automatically qualify you.
