Relocation to Cyprus without the headache

The timeline has three parts: preparing documents, filing, and the review itself. The first is usually the longest — translations, apostilles and certificates are obtained in the country that issued them, and that is where weeks are most often lost. The review follows the migration service’s own schedule and is outside anyone’s control. At the briefing we give the timeline for your specific route and fix it in the Case Map.

With choosing the legal ground, not with collecting papers. The ground on which you obtain your status — employment, your own company, financial independence, family reunification, study — determines the document set, the timeline, and the rights the status gives you. People often start gathering documents before choosing the route, and end up collecting half of them twice.

The common core is much the same across grounds: passport, proof of the chosen ground, a criminal record certificate, health insurance, proof of accommodation, and evidence of income or funds. Beyond that the set diverges by ground. Legalisation is work in its own right: translations, apostilles, and the expiry dates of certificates that run out while the rest is still being collected.

The budget has three parts: mandatory government fees, third-party services (translations, apostilles, insurance, rent, banking) and our own support. The first two depend on the ground and the size of the family, so naming a figure before the briefing would mean inventing it. After the briefing you get one estimate for the whole case, with no additions along the way.

Yes. A spouse and minor children normally travel as dependants of the main applicant. The family has to be counted from the very start: its composition drives the income requirements, the housing, the insurance and the timeline. We run the family as a single case rather than separate applications, and plan school or nursery from the outset where children are of school age.

Some steps require you in person — biometrics at the very least. We plan the trip so that one visit covers as much as possible: filing, the bank, viewing accommodation, registration. Anything that can be done remotely or by power of attorney, we do without you.

Cypriot banks check the source of funds and the applicant’s connection to the country, so an account is not opened automatically. We prepare the bank pack in advance, in parallel with the immigration one, so there is no gap between receiving your status and having a working account.

First we establish why. A significant share of refusals are procedural: an incomplete set, an expired certificate, a document in the wrong format. Those are fixed and refiled. A refusal on the merits is a different conversation — then we rebuild the ground. If we see a weak point in your case, we say so at the briefing rather than later.

A lawyer handles documents, an agent handles housing, a bank handles the account — and each is responsible only for their own piece. The joints between them usually end up on you. We hold the whole case: one manager owns the entire route, including the points where one stage depends on another.

Yes. For a one-off relocation of a group of employees there is Corporate Mobility Project — one estimate, a schedule and reporting on every person. For a continuous flow of moves there is Mobility Desk: we act as your external mobility function and take the task off HR and Legal.
