M I worng? Bubble

i think this is the right things to do..isn't it..

[Tim Drayton]

Here you go..

"Acquisition of Cypriot Citizenship by Naturalisation

An application on form M.127 may be submitted by persons of full age and capacity who were legally residing in the Republic of Cyprus and who in the last 8 years before their application accumulated more than 5 years of residence or more than 7 years of residence, if they are sports players, sports technicians or coaches or work in International Business Companies, or work for Cypriot employers etc. They should attach a birth certificate, their passport, a good character certificate issued by the police, 2 photographs and the publication in a Cypriot newspaper for 2 consecutive days of their intention to apply for naturalisation. "


Summary: You don't qualify. Your best bet is to apply for Permanent / Long-Term Residency after you have completed 5 years of residency. That gives you all the same rights as a citizen and you can move residence within the EU as well. Also, when you do eventually gather up the necessary years to qualify, be warned the process is very long, at a minimum you can expect at least 2 years from the date of application for your file to go anywhere, but it can take quite a bit longer than that as well. You should also make it a point to learn Greek.

Good luck

Just curious. What percentage of such applications are successful?

Sorry, citizenship.

Don't actually know anyone that has gone the five years of residency root, but would expect it to be a very low completion rate, with the the rest still being processed probably after years.

I am going to have a go at the Cypriot spouse root and was told I shouldn't have any problems being married for 36 years and living here for 33 years. They reckoned it would still take about 18 months, but I do have a bit of mesa in immigration, so I might be able to cut it down a bit.

Why don't you apply to the North where the real Cypriots are. Their requirements are not so strict!

7 years, last 2 of which you cant leave Cyprus for more than 2 weeks. And if i would be the officer reviewing your case, i would throw it in the bin because you cant even spell Cypriot.

Good old "RoC" hospitality.........He misspelled it once and got it right the second time..Hang the bastard!!!!!

Yep, hang the bastard because he can't speak proper English in a Greek country.

But it's alright for those who write "I" in small letters and also misspel "can't".

As I have not and have no wish to apply for "Cypriot citizenship" I am allowed to make spelling mistakes.
