citizenship for returning Cypriots?

Postby dzimeruk » Tue Jul 07, 2009 5:48 pm

I'm 19 years old and have grown up in Africa, but I love Cyprus and am considering moving there to study, work and settle. My father was born in Cyprus in the 50's, and even thought we're not ethnically Greek I am proficient in the Greek language. My father also stands to inherit a small piece of land on the island. Am I entitled to citizenship? I would gladly serve my time in the army if it would mean that I could live in Cyprus. Advice please?

Dont keep your hopes too high Arslanian. People who are born and raised here dont always get citizenship let alone Africa.

Its what happens when the UN gives all the green lights to a fascist and racist state...

Does your father have the Cypriot citizenship? If he does then you can get it too easily. If he doesn't then it is not going to be easy. Owning property here does not give you citizenship although it could be helpful for getting a residency permit.

Arslanian asked about Cyprus not Turkey! Who in their right mind would want the Turkish citizenship? Even the Turks want a citizenship from an EU country.

Yes Sotos my father is a citizen. I'm really hoping I'll be able to get it, though I'm interested to know, is shahmaran calling Cyprus a "fascist and racist state"?

Oh and by the way, does it matter that my father was born in the now illegally occupied part of Lefkosia? The Armenian district is on that side

Basically if your mother gave birth to you from a turkish man who has come here after 74, doesnt matter even if you have never left the island and you consider yourself to be more Cypriot then the so called "Cypriots" on this island, you dont know of any other country but Cyprus, the racist and fascist RoC will deny the fact that you are a Cypriot.

Basically you are left with no country but the TRNC.

So what do you geniuses make of this? I personally know more than a few people in this status.

So yes the RoC is indeed a racist and fascist state whos twisted ethics are backed by the fucking UN and EU who sees the right in themselves to tell you who you are.

Fuck the RoC!

Oh and good luck getting that citizenship Arslanian ;)

No it doesnt matter. As long as your father was born in Cyprus you should not have a problem. If you need any help let me know.
