i was wondering if anyone could help me..
I am an Australian of Turkish-Cypriot heritage, i've never actually been back to the country but my mum was born there and lived there for 15 years and my dad still lives there.
i was wondering, am i eligible for a cypriot passport and if so how could i go about getting one? i've emailed the embassy in Australia but they didn't reply.
thanks very much
Don't worry, Cyprus has the best citizenship laws and very easy to obtain as well.
All you have to do is fly over.
If you are over 18 and your father is Cypriot, you will probably get arrested at the airport and sent to the military and your citizenship will be automatically sorted.
Easy peasy lemon squeezy!
But if its just your mother who is Cypriot, then don't bother flying over as you will probably never get the citizenship.
