VISA\/ENTRY PERMIT REGULATIONS FOR NON-EU RESEARCHERS<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n

The mission of the International Students and Staff Office (ISSO) is to contribute to the University of Cyprus’s internationalization strategy by providing support and information to international students and staff – both academic and administrative. The ISSO holds responsibility for assisting mainly non-European students and staff (but also EU students\/staff) with Entry and Residence Permit procedures, through active coordination with the Cyprus Migration Department and other competent authorities.<\/p>\n

Additionally, ISSO serves as a point of reference, guiding individuals to appropriate resources and services related to academic life, employment, and living conditions at the University, in Nicosia, and Cyprus more broadly.<\/p>\n

All non-EU Researchers who apply to the UCY are suggested to apply for an Entry Permit to enter the Republic of Cyprus. Provided that all the required documents and payments have been received, the University will submit the Researcher\u2019s application to the Migration Authorities for evaluation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
