A Cyprus employment offer is an important first step. For a third-country national, it does not automatically create the legal right to start working. NAKLAW handles Cyprus Employment Permit matters for employees and employers, helping identify the correct immigration route, prepare the required documentation and move the application toward lawful employment in Cyprus.
20+ years in Cyprus.
Local immigration guidance.
Both sides coordinated.
Cross-border assistance.
Cyprus has different employment routes for third-country nationals. The correct one depends on the employer, position, qualifications and nature of the employment.
Eligible companies can employ qualifying third-country nationals under the applicable foreign-interest company framework.
Other employment may fall under Cyprus’s general employment procedures and applicable labour-market requirements.
Certain highly qualified positions may fit specialised routes, including the EU Blue Card where its conditions are met.
We check whether your labor-market immigration status allows the proposed change or whether a specialized procedure is required.
One job offer does not fit every permit.
Tell us the role. We identify the legal route.
A successful employment matter involves more than the employee.
Is the Cyprus employer eligible for the proposed route?
Does the position meet the requirements of that employment category?
Do qualifications, passport status and supporting records fit the application?
Is the correct residence and employment authorisation being requested?
NAKLAW reviews these elements together before the application moves forward. That helps avoid a common problem: preparing the employee authorization before confirming that the employer and position fit the intended route.
We review the company, position and employee circumstances.
We coordinate the required employer and employee documentation.
We assist with the applicable entry, residence and employment procedures.
We advise on renewals, employer changes and other developments affecting the permit.
Employer documents on one side. Employee documents on the other. One coordinated application in the middle.
This is particularly useful for international companies moving executives, specialists and skilled personnel into Cyprus.
Employment immigration sits between the person, the company and Cyprus immigration law.
NAKLAW is a Cyprus-based law firm established in 2003. Our wider corporate and immigration practice allows us to support both the employer behind the application and the international professional relocating to Cyprus.
Established Cyprus legal practice.
Employer and immigration requirements considered together.
Support for international hires relocating into Cyprus.
No. A third-country national generally needs the appropriate residence and employment authorisation before undertaking employment in Cyprus.
Potentially, yes. The applicable process depends on the employer category, position and employee. Different procedures can apply to companies of foreign interests and other employers.
It is a Cyprus company that meets the applicable criteria for registration within the relevant framework and can employ qualifying third-country nationals subject to immigration requirements.
The duration depends on the employment category. For qualifying highly skilled personnel employed by companies of foreign interests, permits may currently be issued for up to three years, subject to employment-contract and passport validity.
A change of employer can affect the basis on which your residence and employment permit was issued. The immigration position should therefore be reviewed before the new employment begins.
Yes. NAKLAW can assist Cyprus employers with the immigration side of international recruitment as well as supporting the employee’s residence and employment application.

Chief Executive Officer (CEO)
Following the accession of Cyprus in the EU in 2004 and the abolition of the "offshore regime", Cyprus has maintained a simplified and effective tax system in full compliance with the EU and the OECD.
As a result of the above Cyprus has become a stable EU, "non-offshore" low tax jurisdiction with a beneficial tax regime for foreign businesses and individuals as well as a safe professional business environment.
Cyprus has one of the lowest-taxation rates within the EU, with a flat tax rate at 15% on profit. Cyprus offers additionally to its tax benefits, great advantages as a respectful and useful jurisdiction for holding companies.
It is important to indicate that the business climate in Cyprus is based on a free and open economy, offering first-class legal and financial expertise. It's very easy to fly in and out of Cyprus throughout the year.
