What is Cypriot Citizenship by Descent?
Cypriot citizenship by descent refers to the process of acquiring Cypriot nationality through family ancestry. This means that if one of your parents is a citizen of Cyprus, you can apply for Cypriot citizenship by descent.
Cypriot citizenship offers many benefits, such as the right to live, work and study in Cyprus and other countries in the European Union. It also allows Cypriot citizens by descent to pass on their citizenship to their children and spouses.
Citizenship by descent is very common throughout Europe, and is the simplest, fastest, and cheapest method to obtain a second passport and European citizenship.
Who is Eligible for Cypriot Citizenship by Descent?
Citizenship by descent in Cyprus is only allowed up to the first generation. To meet the legal requirements for citizenship by descent in Cyprus, you must be at least 18 years old, you must have been born abroad, and have at least one Cypriot parent.
It is important to note that if your parents are eligible for British citizenship, specific provisions may apply. It is also essential to have evidence of relationship, in addition to family members’ documents.
You should also know that a birth certificate from the ancestor is not enough to prove citizenship. At least one passport from the ancestor is also required, and ideally other documents to prove citizenship. With the help of our network of genealogists, we are able to search for documents to prove ancestry.
