FAQs
How is eligibility assessed?
We review residence years, travel gaps, language readiness (if required), and good character, then confirm the correct route.
Can you help before I qualify?
Yes. We can plan the timeline, track renewals, and keep your records organised so the final file is easier to compile.
Do you work with lawyers and attend appointments?
Yes. We coordinate with immigration lawyers when needed. Where the venue allows, we can attend with you or provide a representative.
Do you handle translations and legalisations?
Yes. We coordinate certified translations and legalisation where required, and track them in the evidence log.
How long do decisions take?
It depends on authority workload and how complete the file is. We share current local expectations at intake and provide monthly updates after submission.
How many years do I need to live in Cyprus to get citizenship?
The general requirement is seven years of legal residence in Cyprus, with the last year being continuous. Spouses of Cypriot citizens may qualify after a shorter period. Specific conditions vary by route — we confirm eligibility at intake based on your residence timeline and status.
Does Cyprus allow dual citizenship?
Yes. Cyprus generally permits dual citizenship, meaning you can acquire Cypriot citizenship without being required by Cyprus to renounce your existing nationality. However, some other countries do not allow their citizens to hold a second nationality — we recommend confirming the rules of your current country of citizenship separately before you proceed.
Does Cypriot citizenship give me an EU passport?
Yes. Cyprus is a member of the European Union, so Cypriot citizens receive a Cyprus passport that confers full EU citizenship rights — including the right to live, work, study, and travel freely across all EU and EEA member states, plus visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to many non-EU countries.
How much does MegaServe's naturalisation service cost?
Total cost has two parts: MegaServe's coordination fee (covering eligibility and timeline planning, evidence preparation, translations and legalisations coordination, submission, and authority follow-ups) and government/authority fees (application fees, certificate issuance, and any oath/registration steps). We provide a clear written quote after the intake call with no hidden charges. Family members and separate routes are billed per applicant.
