Pink slip stay requirements

@phildraper it's the number on the slip you have with the re-entry stamp on. It's just the part in the following format... 123456/2022

So you'll send STATUS 123456/2022 to 1199

Obviously as we say on the forum things change and what works one day might differ the next!

I arrived in Dec 2022 and work remotely for a UK company. I applied for a Temp Residence Visa and obtained that in March 2023. I am just going thru the renewal and hope to have it completed this week.

I recommend you engage someone here to help as it is a time consuming task for ex european brits. There is a fair amount of paperwork that was required for me and it would have been beneficial if I had known what was required before I left the UK. Things like police record checks, apostle documents etc. Check with whoever you engage and get them to give you the current list of docs to be obtained before jumping on the flight. It can be done once you are here but takes longer and adds to the cost. I cannot tell you what you need as it has probably changed since I went thru it. I think the companies here dealing with immigration book appointment all the time without a client needing it so they get you in faster when you are ready to go. If you have specific questions pls start a new thread and ask away lol

@Toon I know of one person who was rejected on the grounds of income, they did not get told why they had to engage a solicitor who found out the reason for the rejection. I have no idea if they appealed or what happened next.

@anostone I did send this but still the same reply. I think it is because it is last year and expired.

@Toon morn just reading your comments very interesting reading may I ask my myself and wife retiring this July and are hoping to relocate to cyprus and applying for pink slip we've read so many different conflicting comments about pink slip we very confused trying to do our homework as much as poss what docs do you need to take with you to imagination for first application many thanks

I think there is a link to a webpage re TCN non EU applicants and it indicates what documentation etc that you are required to provide.

I Wil see if I can find it

thanks for your reply we would appreciate any help that yous could give us thankyou

Appointment

I guess that is possible .......Change your lawyer.....  Or better still ditch the lawyer completely

@nincystepanovic

If you are German you wont be applying for pink slip you will be applying for the meu1 yellow slip as an EU national much easier and something you really dont need a lawyer to do.....

However I guess that is possible .......Change your lawyer.....  Or better still ditch the lawyer completely

If you have all your paperwork to cover the criteria required for meu1 yellow slip then you shou

ld be ok.

You can always contact immigration and check ...  Make sure the appointment is still valid

How was the appointment made ..am assuming you yourself made it using your own email address or did the lawyer make it... If the lawyer made it using his then the cancellation is possible...  if you did it maybe he cannot do it.

@grahamehomer Hi Graham, I came here in 2016 when things were totally different and it took me all of 30 mins to get everything done (yellow slip). at that time, was the house docs/deeds, a Elect. bill, a phone bill and 3 months Bank statements, must say I only had UK statements (which by the way is still the same). at that time the local Mayor was an aquantence ( now good friend) and it was phone call he made and all doors were open.  I seriously do not know the mryiad of docs required now. We Brits are no longer in the EU and thus judged as TCN's. it is not cheap and suggest you get a Lawyer. By the way which part of the island are you moveing to.  I am in the Eastern end and if coming here can try and help.

Hi,i have a visa interview scheduled for pink slip.. If i cancel that because i decided to go back to my country and 90 days already expired ,i mean i overstayed .What will happen at the passport control ? will they ban me or in system will show that i had appointment by i canceled?

I doubt the border control system has any record of your pink slip visa application or appointment....

I don't know for sure what will happen when you leave but I guess if your passport has been scanned on entry so  when you leave and passport is scanned  again it will flag that you have overstayed...you will then be asked, Why ..produce your appointment email and explain ...you might get lucky and get away with a fine or better still a stern warning ...at worst it could be a 3yr ban

We went out and back after the 90 days in 2023 and showed the immigration appointment email each time. No issues at all. The only time we were questioned was when we used the yellow slip and we didn't have the biometric card. The boarder guy looked up on the computer and said "ah not issued yet lol" this wasll thru Paphos airport

@phildraper

My thinking there is that they may see an application post interview with details as that includes all details including passport awaiting issue of permit but not if you havent made it yet... That's the bit I think may not be on the system.. as when you apply for the appointments by email. it's only a name... Or email address

The OP might like to consider not cancelling and claim he has to go back for an emergency but wil be returning for  the appointment.

But as we often say things cZn and Di change not necessarily by legislation or law but by whoever you get at border control and there understanding and even whether they have had a bad day or a good day.

@phildraper Dont use the Pilgrim's airport. Larnaca no problems with yellow slip. Used it so far for 7 years.

I think you will have exceeded the allowed 90 days continuous absence rule by September and thus it is likely to have been cancelled so you will have to apply again.... Assuming I have understood your post correctly

@Toon I mean i was in cyprus January Feb March i left for 3 weeks then came back, then april and may was in cyprus and left in may for 6 days. then on 17 June i left till 31 august. so its more than 90 days but they are not consecutive

In that case you should be ok ..i also assume that you had no issues entering and exiting

@Toon thanks! no

@Toon  Any ideas Toon where I can find an agent?  Would rather save on the lawyers costs.  Thanks

@Toon  Any ideas where I can locate an agent - would rather pay them than the lawyers.

Thanks

Cay

Depends on location
