Spelling Orgy, loving it.... muuuaaa ha ha ha

You must love an "orgy", you started it,.

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".

What about those who misspell 'misspell'?

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

It doesntmatter, we don't give a shit!

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?

Can't say really. I have heard many horror stories of unjust rejections of applications, racism and the like.... but I went through the whole process myself not too long ago and was succesful. It took 3 years, and thats with some mesa and countless trips to Nicosia to nag for a solid year. If you see where they store the applications, it's a complete disorganized mess. I would recommend following up after the 1.5 year point just to make sure they haven't lost it.

Slightly off-topic question, does anyone know where to buy a Cyprus flag in Limassol? Am only hear for a few more days but i can't find a shop that sells'em.

Cyprus flag - my memory may be playing tricks on me, but I seem to recall there being a shop selling flags, including the Cyprus flag, on Kanari, the road that goes from Katholiki Church past the Municipal Market.

nice...
I have 6+ years now and I am again planning to apply.
By the way, I do not speak Greek. Did you have any language issues ? Is Greek mandatory ? Or do you have it in your "horror stories of unjust rejections of applications".
