Is this service legal?

Yes. We help you prepare and check your own Cyprus permit application against official requirements, and a licensed Cyprus lawyer can review it. We do not impersonate a lawyer or the authorities. Only the Cyprus government decides your permit, and only a lawyer can give you legal advice.

No. New to Cyprus is not a law firm. Our AI document check and self-serve tools are not legal advice. When you choose the Reviewed tier, a licensed advocate at Koufettas Law reviews and signs off your application. That review is the part you can rely on as legal work.

How much cheaper is this than a lawyer?

A full lawyer or agency typically costs €500 to €2,000 for a residence permit. Our self-serve check starts around €29, and a lawyer-reviewed package is around €99 to €149. That is roughly 80 to 90 percent less, for the common, straightforward permits. Government fees are separate and shown upfront.

Which Cyprus permit do I need?

If you are an EU citizen registering your residence, you usually need the Yellow Slip (MEU1). If you are a non-EU citizen, you usually start with the Pink Slip. Our free check asks a few questions and points you to the right one. Confirm your case with the authorities or a lawyer.

What happens if my application is rejected?

We help you submit a correct, complete application, which is the part that gets most filings rejected. We cannot control the government's decision or its timing, and we never promise approval. If a lawyer reviews your package, you get their professional sign-off before you file.

Your documents are stored encrypted and held in the EU. After your filing, you can download your pack and we purge the originals on request. We only use your data to run your application.

Do I have to pay to see if my documents are ready?

No. The free check shows you how many issues your application has before you pay anything. You only pay when you want the detailed fixes, the pre-filled form, or a lawyer review.

Which services can I use right now?

The Yellow Slip permit service is live. Pink Slip, Category F, renewals, contract review, translations and relocation help are coming soon. You can join the waitlist for any of them and we will tell you the moment it opens.

Real lived experience.
Our relocation guides are written by [Volha Bendzik], who moved to Cyprus in 2022 with her family and went through the schools, banking and permit runaround herself.
Greek-side only.
We only deal with Republic-of-Cyprus property and title. We never touch property in the occupied north, where title is the real risk.
