Mixed couple EU/no EU Cyprus immigration

if you have an EU passport your spouse has a right to make the application with you "as a family member of an eu citizen" simple and very easy to do... it may take a little longer but it is your right as an EU citizen to have you spouse included in your applications as a family member.

Dont think non EU needs to have a visa to stay as long as you can support the relationship with documentary evidence

Dear thank you so much for your reply,
I have already checked the link from one of your previous posts. It is indeed helpful.

I still have one "technical" question : how or with which visa should he arrive to Cyprus? Because he needs a visa.  Does his schengen one allow him an entry? But is it lawful to enter with a tourist visa and apply to residency with us once there?
We want to make things right.

Thank you again Toon for taking the time to reply

to be honest i cant see that being problem  - you have the right to enter into Cyprus under the terms of passport and schengen and then are free to apply as a family unit under the laws and legislation of the EU

Toon thank you so much again!
It seems easier than I expected.
At least concerning this particular point.

We are not married, but have lived together for 6 years. She needs a Cypriot visa, I am an EU citizen. We plan to move to Cyprus, buy an apartment. What evidence of us being family should we prepare? Or they only accept married spouses and need a marriage certificate?

Can my partner reside in Cyprus with me, and is there a way she can do some work legally?

@Toon

Yes you wil.be ok . Your partner can apply as a family member of an eu national... You may be required to.have a document certified at court for your partner if your partner is dependant on you.

It can be a tad confusing with al the current documentations required and i would suggest you apply via Gwenys Red Tape Services or one of the many immigration assistants.... It does have a cost attached but will save you time and frustration .. and ensure that your documentation is correct as it's easy to miss something

Hi

we are in a similar situation, I have a EU passport, my husband has a UK passport. My understanding is that we can retire to Cyprus, after 3 months we need to apply for a registration certificate to be able to reside in Cyprus.

Can anyone tell me once we have applied for the registration certificate what is the next stage?

Apply for the appointment on the online portal

Collect all the documentation you are required to supply

Attend the appointment

And assuming all is well with the documentation and that you fulfil all the residency requirements ...you wait for your registration documents...

You can do this yourself but best advice I can give you is to use an agent ...they will advise exactly what you need and be upto date with latest legislation...it does cost but it wil take the frustration and anxiety out of the whole process.
