On November 30, 2023, an amendment to the Civil Registry Law was voted. The new Cyprus citizenship law allows:
- Highly skilled foreign workers with four years of residence to apply with a B1 Greek certificate, and those with five years with an A2 certificate.
- Other third-country nationals need eight years of residence.
All applicants must have 12 months of continuous residence, with up to 90 days of absences allowed.
