*The list of required documents will vary depending on the basis for the employee’s entry into Cyprus.
Upon arrival in Cyprus, the employer must submit documents to the Migration Department (in practice, the documents are submitted by power of attorney, and the employee’s personal presence is not required).
Migration specialists will, on the day of submission:
With the receipt, the applicant can enter and leave Cyprus until the plastic residence card (PRC) is issued.
The plastic residence card is prepared within 2 months after submitting the documents to the Migration Department.
When the employee receives a work visa in Cyprus, their spouse can apply for family reunification.
Processing times: Documents for family members can only be submitted after 2-3 weeks from the submission of documents for the primary applicant (this is necessary for the migration authorities to update their system with the primary applicant’s data).

Registration of an Employee as a Foreign Worker
We help register employees, such as directors and key personnel, as foreign workers in your company. We guide you through the entire process, from document preparation to obtaining all necessary permits and visas.
