Received this today ... from immigration dept
As I have explained on my previous email , you have the right to obtain the new document for the Beneficiaries of the withdrawal agreement MUKW3 valid for 10 years . Although is not mandatory to obtain it , it is for your own benefit to have it issued , as there are new processes ongoing at the entry exit borders after 2025, which will make it more difficult the entry if you don't have a valid residence permit .
Thanks in advance

So the question now is .. is it CyGov intention to render existing MEU3 residency permits (yellow slips) invalid by 2025/2026..
Or simply make things awkward for those who have in their possession the correct paperwork but have not taken the plastic biometric cards....
