Congratulations, you do realise that now you are a citizen, and if you are under the age of 50, that you could be conscripted into the army, right??

Good Luck.

Conscription doesn’t apply to women.

It does now!

its very easy to avoind.

you walk into the military registration offcie and recite what bellow and they will not let you into the registration offcie never mind an army camp.

allllaaaahhhuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu ekber
elhaaaam dulilaaaaaaaaah raabin alemiiiiin
In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful.
All praise belongs to Allah,
Lord of all the worlds,
Master of the Day of Judgment.
Thee alone do we worship and Thee alone do we implore for help.
Guide us in the right path.
The path of those on whom Thou hast bestowed thy blessings,
those who have not incurred thy displeasure,
and those who have not gone astray.

Once you have done this you will be just fine.

I’m not religious.

For the finally time conscription doe NOT apply to women. Maybe you should learn more about your country if you genuinely think this.

Actually, I am pregnant but I don't know the gender yet. I never want to be pregnant again it's fucking horrible. :cry:

My baby will have 3 citizenships. (Australian, Swedish and Cypriot)

So if it's a male then they still have a choice as Sweden has conscription as well.

So if they do choose to serve for ***country they choose*** then they won't be allowed to serve for the ***other country*** and vice versa.

Also, I don't really understand the hostility towards me. I asked a question no one knew the answer because clearly not as many people want to be Cypriot as you think. I answered the question myself in case someone wanted to check in the future.

Honestly, I thought there would have been more responses considering that whole citizenship debacle in Australia and the current Brexit bullshit that is going down right now.

But we are locals… we don’t need to be concerned with the immigration office for citizenship because this is our mother country!

Hell, I don’t even know where the immigration office is! :lol:

I don't know where the immigration office is either. :lol:

This issue comes under the civil registry department. I did this all through the embassy anyway.

I was born Cypriot/Australian. I was born in Australia to a Cypriot father. My Cypriot family left Cyprus in the 60s, like a lot of people. My parents never "acquired my citizenship" aka registered me in Cyprus and I didn't even realise I had to do that till now.

It's similar for all children who are born with parents from two different origins.

And I assume maybe we might see more people who have to "acquire their citizenship"/"register" because of recent global events. This shouldn't be surprising for a country that had many leave/die in the 60s-70s. :cry:
