If
you are not a holder of a Cypriot passport, you
will need a work permit in order to work in
Cyprus. The present policy regarding foreign
nationals who wish to take up employment in
Cyprus is that an employment permit is granted
only on a temporary basis and for a specified
position provided that no suitably qualified
Cypriot citizens are available. Please note that
this action must take place while foreign
nationals are outside Cyprus, (except in cases of
EU nationals).
Foreign national
seeking employment in Cyprus must secure through
personal efforts a local employer who should
submit an application to the Migration Officer,
Ministry of Interior, Lefkosia (Nicosia) (see
address below), which is the competent authority
for the issue of such permits. The Ministry of
Labour and Social Insurance acts as an advisor to
the Migration Officer as regards the situation in
the labour market and the compliance by the
above-mentioned employer of the criteria
governing the employment of aliens.
Manpower recruitment
is made directly by the employers or through
intermediaries; therefore you have to make your
own direct contacts with interested employers,
intermediaries or employers'
organisations.
