How to obtain citizenship of Cyprus
If you are a foreigner legally residing in Cyprus and have a Temporary Residence Permit (TPL) or Permanent Residence Permit (PRP), you can obtain a passport for the country.
A residence permit (Pink Slip for non-EU citizens and Yellow Slip for EU citizens) allows you to reside on the island for 7 years, after which you can apply for citizenship by naturalization.
If you are a relative of a native Cypriot or Cypriot woman, then you, in the case of a residence permit, will have to legally reside on the island, not 7, but only 5 years. Holders of a permanent residence permit can live in the country for 5 years, after which they can apply for a passport.
To obtain citizenship of Cyprus by naturalization, the applicant must provide a complete list of his entries and exits from Cyprus, based on the stamps in his passport, to confirm the required number of days of stay on the island. It is imperative to note that each family member wishing to obtain citizenship must file a separate application and pay the appropriate fee.
