Cyprus Temporary Residence Permit - Pink Slip

Secure your Cyprus temporary residence permit with the Pink Slip

What is the Cyprus Pink Slip?

The Cyprus Temporary Residence Permit, commonly referred to as the Pink Slip, enables non-EU passport holders to legally extend their stay in Cyprus beyond the standard 90 days; though it does not grant the right to work.

This permit is issued for a duration of one year and can be renewed annually, providing considerable flexibility for extended stays. Additionally, family members of the applicant are eligible to apply for the permit as dependents, ensuring that families can remain together while residing in Cyprus.

Why do you need a temporary residence permit in Cyprus?

While non-EU passport holders can legally stay in Cyprus for 90 days without a visa, the Pink Slip provides an extension beyond this period. The Pink Slip also allows individuals to avoid any potential penalties or consequences for overstaying their initial 90-day visa-free period. By obtaining this permit, you can ensure that your stay in Cyprus is legal and hassle-free.
