Cyprus citizenship is governed by a clearly defined legal framework providing several lawful pathways to acquire nationality of the Republic of Cyprus. Each route has distinct eligibility criteria, documentation standards, and procedural requirements.
Eligibility depends strictly on the legal pathway pursued and the applicant’s ability to substantiate their claim through compliant documentation.
Citizenship by descent is the most direct and legally secure route, provided Cypriot nationality of a parent or qualifying ancestor can be lawfully established.
No residence or language requirement applies when citizenship is recognized by descent.
Foreign nationals married to Cypriot citizens may apply for citizenship, subject to strict scrutiny of the marriage’s authenticity.
Authorities assess the substance of the marriage rather than its formal registration alone.
Naturalization applies to foreign nationals who have resided and worked lawfully in Cyprus for an extended period.
Naturalization decisions remain discretionary and are assessed holistically.
Cyprus no longer offers citizenship by investment. It maintains a permanent residency program commonly referred to as the Cyprus Golden Visa.
Legal clarification: Permanent residency does not automatically lead to citizenship or a Cyprus passport.
Cyprus authorities apply strict compliance standards to citizenship and residency applications.
Special attention is required in cases involving name changes, spelling inconsistencies, or parallel procedures in Cyprus and Greece.
We provide structured legal support for Cyprus citizenship and residency cases, with emphasis on compliance, documentation accuracy, and long-term EU status planning.
