Relocation of people and families
Moving to another country is a big decision, especially when it concerns the whole family, remote work, or a change in lifestyle. Cyprus is one of the most welcoming relocation destinations in Europe: it offers a stable legal environment, safe living conditions, a friendly climate, and a high level of comfort for daily living.
However, relocation is more than just moving house. It is a process that involves sorting out residency formalities, choosing the right place to live, finding a property, arranging schooling for the children, accessing healthcare, and settling into a new environment.

FAQ – Relocation of individuals and families to Cyprus
Relocation is the process of moving to and settling in Cyprus, either with your family or as an individual. It involves obtaining legal residency, completing administrative formalities, finding accommodation and schools for children, and providing support with integration and adaptation to life on the island. The experts at EM PRO provide comprehensive support at every stage of the relocation process.
The most popular routes are:
Registration of residence as an EU citizen (Yellow Slip) – for EU/EEA citizens.
Temporary or permanent residence for non-EU nationals – through various permits, e.g. a Pink Slip, work permits, investments, family ties.
Residency through investment or self-employment – e.g. buying a property or running a business.
EM PRO’s experts advise on the best course of action depending on the client’s situation.
Yes. The relocation process covers family members (spouse, children). Depending on the main applicant’s residence status, relatives may be granted the relevant residence permits or be included in a joint application for a residence card.
The documents required vary depending on the type of stay, but the following are usually required:
Passport or identity card
confirmation of your accommodation address in Cyprus
Employment contract or proof of funds
Health insurance
marriage certificate and children’s birth certificates (if applicable)
other official documents, depending on the type of application
EM PRO’s experts assist with compiling and verifying documents.
The duration depends on the type of stay:
Yellow Slip (EU citizens) – usually within a few weeks of submitting the application.
Temporary residence for non-EU nationals – from a few weeks to a few months.

Cyprus offers free state schools for residents and a wide selection of private and international institutions with programmes in English and other languages, making integration for families easier.
Knowing the language isn't mandatory, but it makes daily life, official dealings and integration easier. In practice, many services are available in English, particularly in cities and within the expat community.
Costs depend on the client's situation and the chosen residency path – they include official fees, health insurance, moving costs, renting or purchasing property, and potential investments (e.g., for permanent residency through investment).
