From The Cyprus Government Homepage:

Nationals from EU Member States have the right to enter Cyprus by merely showing a valid EU passport or ID Card without having to register upon arrival. If there is an intention to stay for more than three months (and / or take up employment), then they have to:

Apply within eight (8) days of their arrival for an Alien Registration Certificate (ARC), at the local Immigration Branch of the Police (issued automatically for monitoring purposes) and pay the relevant fee (CY£20).

Apply for a social insurance number securing employment in Cyprus (if they will take up employment - please also see section 3, below).


Apply for a residence permit (the application must be submitted before the expiration of this 3-month period to the Civil Registration and Migration Department, through the local Immigration Branch of the Police). The said residence permit is issued within six months from the date of application and the submission of the required documents by the applicant (please note that a fine is imposed in case of non-compliance).

I wonder if this has now changed since being in the euro as the money stated is the Cypriot Pound and not the Euro? So new rules may have taken effect? Although it does say EU Passport doesnt it?
'VERONICA' do you know

None of that has changed as far as I know. You still have to go to the immigration department to register as before. The only thing that has changed is that EU citizens no longer have expiry dates on their residents permits so don't have to renew them after a few uears.
When we first came here our residents permits had expiry dates on them so we had to get new ones recently with no expiry date on them.

Accorsing to the government homepage it is

MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS - Travel Information for Foreign Visitors - Temporary / permanent residence permits and entry and employment permits for Foreign (EU and Third Country) citizens

This seems to be the same referance as the other one and has not been updated since feb 2010 according to the website. I assume this is still the up to date regulations?

What else can you trust if not the government homepage. If its not updated it should mean that it is still valid information

Why should the ARC not be necessary anymore?
