Hello all! Hoping someone has some info regarding temp residence permits. Basically, I followed my girlfriend here to Cyprus a couple of months ago for her new job. The problem is, she is an EU citizen, but I am not (U.S. citizen) I went to the district migration office in Nicosia to get forms/info to apply for a temporary residence permit under category F ("retired" or "self-sufficient"). They gave me form M.61B (Renewal for temp. permit), which I think is the wrong one (I don't have a permit yet). Does anyone know which form I need for up to a 1 year stay and the process for applying? What documentation needs to be submitted with it?

One other q--can anyone recommend a reliable private health insurance company, preferably one that pays costs directly instead of via reimbursement? Please send a message if you know of one...

Thanks!

I think you have to spend 6 months at Guantanamo bay first before you qualify to stay here.
Or why don't you marry your girlfriend ? Or does she not know you followed her here?

Did you contact the US embassy in Nicosia? I guess they should be able to tell you what you need exactly. About health insurance try ΕΘΝΙΚΗ (Ethniki)

Somehow I was able to bypass Gitmo...
Thanks, I went to the embassy and they suggested I go to the Aliens & Immigration Unit to make sure I had the right form (M.61).
Thanks also for the name of the insurance company!
