Work in Cyprus

The employment of foreigners in Cyprus is overseen by the Department of Labour. According to law, non-EU nationals have to register with the Civil Registry and Migration Department, while EU citizens can work in Cyprus without any restrictions.

Regardless of whether one speaks the language, the best method of finding employment opportunities is through networking. Tapping into the right word-of-mouth channels can be more effective than poring over the island’s English-language newspapers, the Cyprus Mail and the Cyprus Weekly. These publications are still a good starting point, while District Labour Offices in major cities and the internet can also provide valuable information.
