How do I get a yellow slip in Cyprus?

Who needs a yellow slip in Cyprus?

Under Law 7(I)/2007, any EU, EEA or Swiss national intending to reside in Cyprus for more than three months must apply for a Registration Certificate (MEU1 — the yellow slip) within four months of arrival. Non-EU family members of an EU citizen apply separately on form MEU2, while non-EU nationals unconnected to an EU citizen apply for a pink slip under the Aliens and Immigration Law, Cap. 105.

How to apply for a yellow slip: the steps

Apply in person at the CRMD office for your district of residence. Book an appointment (in busier districts, several weeks ahead), gather your documents, and attend with all applicants, including children. You provide biometric data, pay the €20 fee, and collect your yellow slip. gov.cy states that a decision follows within one month at the latest, and the certificate is either handed over where you applied or posted to your declared address.

What documents do you need?

You need a valid EU passport or national ID (original and copy), a completed MEU1 form, two passport photos, proof of a Cyprus address (a registered rental agreement or title deed), and the €20 fee. Employees add an employer letter and social-insurance registration; students add proof of enrolment and health insurance; self-sufficient applicants add proof of income and health insurance. Foreign documents need a translation and Apostille.
