Recent vacancies — Cyprus

16+ recent vacancies aggregated from Ergodotisi, AnergosJobs. These vacancies are aggregated from public job boards and are time-sensitive — roles may be filled or expired. Always confirm the offer, employer and any fees directly with the source or employer before applying or paying anything.

Procedure de demande

  • Labour market test — Employer via District Labour Offices, Department of Labour, Ministry of Labour and Social Insurance: The employer submits the job vacancy to the District Labour Offices so the authority can assess whether a suitably qualified Cypriot or EU worker is available before a third-country national may be hired.
  • Employment approval and contract sealing — Authority via Department of Labour, Ministry of Labour and Social Insurance: Upon a favourable determination, the specified employment contract is signed and stamped/sealed by the Department of Labour.
  • Single permit application — Employer via Civil Registry and Migration Department (CRMD), Ministry of Interior: The employer submits the single application for the combined entry, residence and work permit to the Civil Registry and Migration Department (or the District Aliens and Immigration Units of the Police).
  • Supporting documentation — Worker via Civil Registry and Migration Department (CRMD), Ministry of Interior: The worker provides the required supporting documents, including a valid passport, medical examination results, a clean criminal record certificate and the stamped employment contract.
  • Decision and permit issuance — Authority via Civil Registry and Migration Department (CRMD), Ministry of Interior: The Civil Registry and Migration Department examines the application and, if approved, issues the combined residence and employment (single) permit.
  • Entry and residence — Worker via Civil Registry and Migration Department (CRMD), Ministry of Interior: The worker enters Cyprus and takes up employment under the single permit, which is valid for a maximum of four years for most occupations (some categories such as agriculture, domestic work, specialty chefs, priests and tourist representatives are not subject to this maximum).

Delais de traitement et frais officiels

  • Overall processing time: Not published on a verified official source — the EU Immigration Portal (Cyprus employed-worker page) does not state an end-to-end processing time; verify the statutory examination period with the Civil Registry and Migration Department.
  • Government fees: Not published — verify government fee amounts directly with the Civil Registry and Migration Department (Ministry of Interior); fee figures circulating on third-party sites were not confirmed on an official source.
  • Authorities, the single-permit two-stage flow (Department of Labour approval then CRMD permit), required documents and the four-year maximum duration were verified against the EU Immigration Portal (Cyprus); exact processing time and government fee amounts still need confirmation on the CRMD/gov.cy official pages, which returned access errors at the time of research.

Documents essentiels

  • Valid passport
  • Employment contract
  • Medical examination
  • Criminal-record certificate
  • Qualification/experience proof (BCS high-paid)
  • Proof of accommodation
