Covid-19 Update re Work Visa of Third Country Nationals

Update re Work Visa of Third Country Nationals

Nationals of countries outside the EU, who have a valid working visa but are currently unable to enter the Republic of Cyprus due to the country’s travel bans, should note the following:

  • Visas will be invalided if the individual does not return to the Republic for a period of 3 months;
  • If the 3-month period expires,
    • they may request that their Visa is reviewed prior to entry in the Republic; or
    • they may request an entry permit, without having to present a fresh clean criminal record (provided their absence from the Republic does not amount to more than 6 months);
  • upon arriving in the Republic, they may request for a renewal of their residence permit.
