The Cypriot House of Representatives approved a modification to the Civil Registry Law in an attempt to draw tech professionals to the island.
The amendment makes it simpler for foreign nationals working in the innovation and research sector to become citizens of Cyprus. It explicitly targets these individuals.
Fast-Track Citizenship for Research and Innovation Experts:
A streamlined citizenship procedure for foreign nationals working in the “research and innovation” industry is introduced under the modified statute. For those who meet the requirements, the interior minister may accelerate citizenship.
Nicolas Papadopoulos, the Diko MP, stressed that the initiative’s goal is to draw in specialized specialists by positioning it as a calculated investment in the future of the nation. He identified it as a “golden knowledge” program instead of a “golden passports” one, with the goal of facilitating residency requirements and understanding the language for foreign persons pursuing Cypriot citizenship.
