Yellow Slip Cyprus Help: Get the Right Residence Permit First Time

Yellow slip help is only useful if you hold an EU passport (Irish, for example) or are an EU citizen's family member: the MEU1 costs €20, must be applied for within 4 months of arrival and never expires. If you only hold a British passport, you need a different permit, usually the visitor permit (pink slip). Either way, we introduce you free to a Paphos immigration lawyer who handles your permit type.
