FAQs
How long does an employment permit usually take?
It varies by route and season. After a complete pack and appointment, decisions often run from a few weeks to several months. We share current local timelines during intake.
Can family join on my permit?
Often yes, depending on the route rules. We confirm eligibility and prepare the family pack alongside the main application.
Do you handle translations and apostilles?
Yes. We coordinate certified translations and legalisations where required.
What if my role or salary changes?
Tell us. Some changes require an update or a new filing. We advise on the cleanest compliant path.
Will you attend appointments?
Where venue policy allows, we can provide a MegaServe representative to accompany you. Where legal representation is required, we coordinate immigration lawyers—while you continue dealing solely with MegaServe as your single point of contact.
Do I need a work permit to work in Cyprus?
If you are a non-EU/EEA national, you generally need a work permit or employment visa before you can work legally in Cyprus. EU/EEA citizens can work freely but must register after three months. The correct route depends on your nationality, role, and employer setup — we confirm this at intake.
Nothing here is legal advice; requirements are confirmed case-by-case and by the competent authorities.
