Immigration Law Expertise in Cyprus

Located in the southeastern Mediterranean Sea, Cyprus’ geographical position has long been heralded as a “crossroads” of three continents; Europe, Asia, and Africa. Historically, Cyprus has been regarded as a particularly attractive tourist destination owing to, among others, the country’s pleasant climate, high standard of living and low crime rate. Indeed, in the absence of heavy industry, the Cyprus economy relies heavily on tourism as a means of sustaining itself.

However, Cyprus’ accession to the EU in 2004 coupled with its favorable tax and corporate framework, and unrivalled access to the EU and Middle Eastern markets, have elevated Cyprus to much more than just an appealing tourist proposition in the eyes of the outside world. In recent years there has been a significant flow of foreign nationals coming to Cyprus in search of employment opportunities or seeking to establish a permanent residency status. Immigration Law in Cyprus is regulated by a series of statutes and legal instruments the most prominent of which are the Aliens and Immigration Law, Cap. 105, and the Civil Registry Law L. 141(I)/2002.
