MEU3 to biometric

Got to immigration a little early .. just waited to nearer our appt time and grabbed one of the staff and asked as there didn't seem to be any call outs ..got in to do the biometrics photo and finger prints.. then waited for a member of staff to call us ..had to stand near the door at the reception ..staff member came out to see who was here according to her list...we were not on it.... So showed her the appt email got in immediately, produced our forms etc and paid the fee got the receipt and left all done in under 10-15mins


Now we wait for the cards.... Lol

For Information


Did ours end of June.... easy..this is what you needed to take with you ....  application form each.

passports and copies

MEU1 / MEU3 and copies


..and a copy of your appointment email ....as we found we weren't on the list and had to prove the appointment  That's all oh and €30 each... In and out in under 15 mins


Be aware though


Make sure when you get there that you are in the list and tell them you are only there to exchange as everybody who is waiting is there for all sorts of reasons

My neighbours went to Immigration a couple of weeks ago for the same reason and said they were in and out in a similar time.

Just received my SMS stating "application approved and will get an official mail soon"


So 10 weeks so far


Stupid question I know but how soon is their soon

Thank you for your inquiry, you will receive an email soon, with our response.

A friend of mine got their letters 4 weeks after they had already collected their new biometric cards

Ok been this morning cards after 11 weeks still not ready yet ..although they have given us our allocated  card numbers..




Just took our receipts to the dept .they never asked for any other document




There are 12 full boxes of cards awaiting collection on the reception desk  and I reckon at least a 100 in each box.


So now we wait some more ...

Called iñ this morning to immigration Paphos and yey collected our biometric cards...at last..    13 weeks from application appointment date

I also noted 15 boxes of biometric cards on the reception desk all awaiting collection .... Most were full..that's 1500 biometric cards
