The Deputy Ministry of Migration has announced the implementation of temporary emergency measures due to the situation in the Middle East, including an extension of residence permits for third-country nationals stranded outside of Cyprus and unable to return due to travel restrictions. Specifically, the validity of residence permits and receipts for renewal applications is extended until April 30, 2026, subject to certain conditions. These measures are considered temporary and will be re-evaluated depending on the evolution of the situation.
