Obtaining a residence permit in Northern Cyprus

Permanent residency (PR) in Northern Cyprus is available for foreign citizens. Northern Cyprus (officially known as the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus) is an unrecognized state by the international community, located in the north of Cyprus.

To obtain PR in Northern Cyprus, a foreign citizen must apply to the local authority responsible for issuing residency permits. It is necessary to provide documents confirming the reasons and purpose of staying on the island, as well as means of subsistence. Medical insurance and evidence of no criminal record may also be required.

The migration service considers the application and, if all necessary documents are provided and the requirements are met, issues permission to stay in Northern Cyprus for a certain period of time.

PR in Northern Cyprus can be issued for a certain period of time (usually from 1 to 3 years) and can be extended if the legislation is complied with and the necessary means of subsistence are available.
