Temporary Residence Permit in Cyprus (Pink Slip)
For non-EU nationals who want to stay in Cyprus for longer than the 90-day visitor period.
Typical appointment: 60 min
The Pink Slip is the temporary residence permit issued to third-country nationals residing in Cyprus as visitors. It confirms the right to stay, but it does not grant the right to work — that requires a separate permit. Applications are submitted to the Civil Registry and Migration Department, and the paperwork has to be complete on the day of submission: an incomplete file means a new appointment and weeks of delay.
We prepare the entire file with you, check every document against the current requirements, book your submission appointment, and stay with you until the permit is issued.
