Your Complete Guide
to a Successful Visa Application

Studying in Cyprus not only provides quality education at affordable costs but also places you in the heart of Europe. As a member of the European Union, Cyprus offers:

  • Schengen Visa access (after student visa extensions)
  • Inter-European travel opportunities for internships, jobs, and networking
  • Multicultural exposure from students across Africa, Asia, and Europe
  • Affordable education and living expenses compared to other EU countries
  • Possibility of post-study residence permits

The benefits of studying abroad are almost endless

Your Gateway to Europe

PATHWAY TO THE UK / AFFILIATION WITH UK UNIVERSITIES

Transfer opportunities available to complete your final year in the UK.
Many Cypriot universities offer programs in partnership with prestigious UK universities. This means you can earn a UK degree while studying in Cyprus — often at half the cost. Students also have the option to:

  • Start in Cyprus, finish in the UK
  • Earn a UK-accredited degree without leaving Cyprus
  • Qualify for UK postgraduate or job routes
  • Save up to 50% on tuition and living expenses

Study in European Cyprus

EUROPEAN CYPRUS

To study in Cyprus, international students must obtain a student visa by meeting specific eligibility criteria and providing the necessary documentation. This visa allows students to pursue their education at recognized institutions across Cyprus.

Key Requirements for a Cyprus Student Visa:

  • An official acceptance letter from a recognized educational institution in Cyprus is mandatory.
  • Fill out and sign the official student visa application form accurately.
  • The passport must be valid for at least one year beyond the intended arrival date and have at least one blank page.
  • The passport must be valid for at least one year beyond the intended arrival date and have at least one blank page.
  • Provide certified copies of previous academic records, translated into English if necessary.
  • Some institutions may require evidence of English proficiency (e.g., IELTS, TOEFL).
  • Submit proof of sufficient funds to cover tuition fees and living expenses (typically a bank statement showing at least €7,000).
  • Medical clearance is required, including tests for hepatitis B and C, HIV, syphilis, and a chest X-ray for tuberculosis.
  • A recent certificate of good conduct from the local police authority (issued within the last six months).

Application Process

  • Students must apply for the visa through a Cyprus embassy or consulate in their home country.
  • In countries without a Cypriot diplomatic mission, the educational institution may apply on behalf of the student through Cyprus’s Migration Department.

After Arrival In Cyprus

Once in Cyprus, students must apply for a Temporary Residence Permit at the Migration Department. This includes submitting biometric data and additional documents like accommodation details, financial proof, and health insurance.

Processing Time

Visa processing typically takes about one month. Students are advised to apply at least 2–3 months before the intended course start date.

Visa Validity and Renewal

The student residence permit is usually valid for one year and can be renewed annually based on the duration of the course.
