The Migration Department has announced that a new digital service has been launched, through which automated notifications will be sent regarding the progress of applications, as well as reminders about the upcoming expiry of residence documents. Notifications will be delivered via SMS and email.
To receive automated notifications, users must activate the service by registering their contact details through the “Update My Personal Details” service. These details may be updated whenever necessary, ensuring that notifications continue to be sent to the most up-to-date contact information. More information and user instructions for the service are available through the government portal gov.cy
Please note that the existing SMS notification service provided through number 1199 will be discontinued in the near future and replaced by the new automated notification service.
As a reminder, access to online services requires the creation and verification of a CY Login account, the Government’s unified electronic identification system for secure access to digital public services. Further information on creating and verifying a CY Login account is also available through the gov.cy portal.
