Employment of EU citizens:
The principle of the free movement of workers within the EU is applied in Cyprus since 1 st May 2004. It covers the citizens of all member states of the EU. It is also covers the citizens of Norway, Iceland Liechtenstein and Switzerland which belong to the European Economic Area.
EU citizens who wish to be employed in Cyprus do not need a work permit, but a residence permit is necessary if their stay will exceed the 3 months. In that case within the first 3 months of their arrival in Cyprus, they have to apply for a residence permit (for 6 months stay, temporary residence permit is needed) at the Migration Officer in Nicosia. The following must be submitted: a) 2 photos, b) a valid passport or ID card, c) a health certificate, obtained either from the Cyprus hospitals or from their home country (in this case the documents must be certified) and d) an employment certificate, issued by their employer, stating the nature of the job and the emloyment period.
The fee for the issue of a residence permit is CYP 5,00 (10,30 Euro).
Employment of non-EU citizens:
Nationals of third countries (non-EU countries) may be employed in Cyprus provided they can first find a local employer who is willing to employ them . The Cyprus employer must then submit an application for the issue of a work permit, on behalf of the foreign national, to the competent authority (i.e. the Immigration Office at the Ministry of Interior). If the application is approved the foreign national will hold a work permit for the specific job and for limited period of time (please note that work permits are not general and are not valid indefinitely). Recruitment is therefore made directly by the employers or through agents; you have to make your own direct contacts with interested employers, intermediaries or employers' organisations if you wish to take up employment in Cyprus.
The applications for employment of non-EU citizens by local companies are submitted to the District Labour Offices which are entitled to ascertain that the following criteria are met:
- Non-availability of suitably qualified local personnel (Cypriot or European citizens); in order to satisfy the specific needs of the employers.
- Saving and better utilization of the local labour force.
- Improvement of working conditions of employment of foreigners should be the same as those for Cypriots.
Cypriot employers who secure initial approval for employment of foreigner from the Department of Labour, can then submit an application to the Department of Civil Registry & Migration for the employment of specific foreigner. Work permits are granted by the Director of Civil Registry & Migration Department.
ICT Recruitment Solutions Ltd will assist the employers/companies in Cyprus in obtaining a work permit/and temporary residence permits for your IT professionals outside the EU.
