Is our MEU1 still valid?

Your should be able to but you will be required to provide 5 yrs proof of long term living here

Thanks for your reply, Toon. I suppose you mean for the last 5 years though?

Also can I have as you got a house you should be ok ok I will contact the Cyprus embassy to find out if you were still be ok ok you should have changed your yellow slip after 5years too a MEU3 yellow slip will allow you out of the country for 5 years as long as you return within this time you can stay for 30 days or up to 90 days and you can leave the country going for another 5 years a yellow slip MEU1 is only for 6-months maybe a year this time you might get stopped save the hassle I will contact the embassy in Cyprus or the embassy of Cyprus in Egypt and find out if you're going to have any issues if you request any support I am happy to give and help you the best as I can.

Thanks

Usually 5 years proof of continuous legal residency and living via bills bank statements and without more than 6 months absence with meu1

Hello, I also have a MEU1 and I have been in and out of Cyprus a couple of times this year.  When I returned back to Cyprus on 08-09-2021 I asked the immigration officer at the aiport how long I am allowed to be out of Cyprus before I lose my MEU1 and he replied 6 months.  To the best of my knowledge, only when you have an MEU3 can you leave Cyprus for up to 24 months.  I hope this helps and I hope you won't have too many difficulties coming back to live in Cyprus.

With meu3 you can have an absence of upto 5 years

Hi Toon, thanks for correcting me.  That's good to know...!

Hi Toon, do you know whether it is 6 continuous months absence, or 6 months in total, for MEU1? And from when - presumably from January to December?  It is strange how my immigration lawyer told me that with MEU1 I could be absent from Cyprus for upto 12 months  I'm glad I didn't listen to her advice.
