This is the quick update about my citizenship case.
Yesterday somone from Nicosia called me and informed that my Certificate of Naturalization is ready, and that I should come and pick it up. I talked with the guy who is handling the paperwork for my case and he said that he won’t be able to get it, because they (The Ministry of Interiior?) will give it only to me.
Today I went to Nicosia and, indeed, picked it up myself. It took me about an hour to get to the capitol, and about an hour to come back. The “getting” part was less than 15 minutes.
To summarize the soap opera above: the paper that proves my Cypriot citizenship is in my hands. In two copies. Wow!
There is still plenty of paperwork to do – passport, ID card, voting logbook, military, and some more. But all these are nuances. The main question has been answered, it was answered in my favor, and I have the paper to prove it.
Currently, I am a little bit beyond happy.
Don’t forget to let me know when we’re getting drunk ;-)
Hehe :)
I am being told that that will happen before the summer starts. :)
Congras man. Nice going.
Thanks, dude ;)
My congratilations! But what about the army in Cyprus? I am worried about it.
Those who became citizens of Cypus via naturalization, don’t have to serve in the army.
Great News, can you please tell me the lawyer or agent who handeled your paperwork for you, I applied on my own but it has been more than 3 years now and when I go there to ask they say that they are still processing the cases from 2006.
Thanks in Advance

I was working for PrimeTel at the time, and they pushed my case quite a bit. Don’t know of any lawyers who are helpful – I know a lot of people who paid to someone to get their case pushed, but so far none of them saw their money worth of effort.
Thanks Man, your posts have always been helpful, interesting and useful, should really buy you beer sometime, LMK if u visit Nicosia. Tkc.
Thanks! Likewise, ping me uf you are in Limassol.
