Visitor or Pink Slip - Residence permit in Cyprus

Visitors Permit (Pink Slip) is a temporary residence permit allowing one to stay in Cyprus for up to 365 days a year (instead of the standard 90 days on a regular visa). This permit allows non-EU nationals who have adequate passive income (such as pensions, dividends, rental income, etc.) to reside in Cyprus for a period of one year, with the option to renew it annually.

The REVERA team will take care of all stages of Pink Slip processing, from document preparation to successful visa application.
