If you are a non-EU citizen travelling to Cyprus to study, you will need to apply for a Cyprus student visa and a temporary residence permit.
Student visas can be obtained in your home country. You should get a student visa before arriving in Cyprus. This visa will allow you to legally enter and live in Cyprus for 3 months.
If your program of study is a long course and lasts longer than 90 days, you must obtain a temporary residence permit after your arrival.
This temporary residence permit (also known as the “Pink Slip”) will allow you to extend your stay in Cyprus for a period of up to 4 years.

Cyprus student visa and work
International students from non-EU countries are normally not legally allowed to work during their studies in Cyprus. However, some exceptions may be made.
Those exceptions for work are made by the Government of the Republic of Cyprus. For example, certain courses may require training.
Working permits may be issued to students of these courses to enable practical training during the summer vacations.
EU nationals and citizens of Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, and Switzerland don’t require a student visa in Cyprus.
However, EU students will also require a temporary residence permit or a “Registration Certificate for EU Nationals” (the yellow slip) if their course and intended stay exceeds more than 3 months.
Immigration insurance student visa Cyprus
When applying for a Cyprus student visa, however long you are planning to study abroad, it’s important to get adequate health insurance and immigration insurance for your travels.
Immigration and health insurance are compulsory for non-EU citizens. Without the correct coverage, you might face expensive legal or medical fees.
