The Migration Department of Cyprus has announced that, effective September 1, 2026, applications for an Immigration Permit must be supported by the following additional medical certificates:
- Original blood test results conducted outside Cyprus, certifying that the third-country national applicant (as well as any dependents) does not suffer from hepatitis B, hepatitis C, HIV or syphilis;
- An original chest x-ray for tuberculosis screening, issued in the applicant’s country of origin and/or their last country of residence.
The above documents must be duly certified/legalized, unless a relevant bilateral intergovernmental agreement provides an exemption from such certification/legalization requirements.
The submission of the above medical documents will not be required where the applicant is already a holder of a temporary residence permit in Cyprus, under which the required medical certificates have already been submitted and their results are still retained in the relevant administrative file.
