have the right of residence for a period of up to three months without any conditions or any formalities other than the requirement to hold a valid identity card or passport.
The principle of the free movement of workers within Europe is applied in Cyprus since 1st May 2004. It covers the citizens of all member states of the E.U. It also covers the citizens of Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein, which belong to the European Economic Area, as well as the citizens of Switzerland. In the text that follows the term « member state » means any one of the above mentioned countries.
Legislation: The employment of European citizens is regulated by Law no. 7(I) of 2007 “The Right of Union Citizens and their Family Members to Move and Reside Freely within the Territory of the Republic of Cyprus Law of 2007”. According to the above legislation, the freedom of movement and residence in the Republic can be restricted only on the grounds of reasonable threat of public order, safety or health. So, as from 1st May 2004, any European national can enter the territory of the Republic of Cyprus by simply showing a valid passport or identity card. The members of the family have the same right as the European national whom they are dependant. The issue of a visa is not required, unless the members of the family are not nationals of an EU member state, in the case of which, a residence document is issued, having the same validity as that issued to the national of a member state whom he/she is dependant. The competent authority for the implementation of these Laws is the Ministry of Interior.
