Cyprus Work Visa

A Cyprus Work Visa is essential for non-EU nationals seeking employment in Cyprus, granting them long-term residence and work rights. To secure this visa, individuals first need a Cyprus Work Permit arranged by their prospective employer in Cyprus while they are abroad. This permit authorizes employment. After arriving in Cyprus, they must obtain a Residence Permit for stays exceeding 90 days. EU and EFTA citizens don't require Cyprus Work Visas due to their freedom of movement. Eligibility for a Cyprus Work Permit hinges on employers proving the job couldn't be filled by a Cypriot or EU/EFTA national. Typically, non-EU workers find opportunities with foreign companies in Cyprus, with positions categorized based on salary thresholds and specific conditions to comply with immigration rules.
