Visitor residence permits
What this service covers
A visitor permit suits people who plan to live in Cyprus on their own income, without taking employment on the island. It is issued for a limited period and renewed while the conditions are met.
We assess your situation first, then prepare the application and the supporting evidence, including the documents for any family members who come with you.
New applications
Your first visitor permit, from eligibility check to submission.
Permit renewals
Renewal files prepared before the current permit expires.
Proof of income
Bank statements and income evidence, organised for submission.
Insurance and housing
Guidance on the health cover and accommodation evidence required.
What we need from you
A short assessment tells us whether a visitor permit fits your plans. If it does, we send you a written checklist.
- A valid passport with enough remaining validity
- Evidence of a regular income from abroad
- Proof of health insurance
- A rental contract or title deed in Cyprus
If your plans change
A visitor permit does not allow employment in Cyprus. If you decide to work or invest, we explain which other route applies and what changes.
Keeping the permit valid
We record the expiry date of each permit and contact you ahead of it, so the renewal starts in time.
