Dual Citizenship In Cyprus

Dual nationality is the right to hold the citizenship of two countries concurrently and in Cyprus dual citizenship is allowed under Cypriot Citizenship law. No restriction is imposed by either the Civil Registry Law, 2002 nor by the Treaty of Establishment of the Republic of Cyprus, 1960. Therefore nationals of the Republic of Cyprus can hold dual or multiple citizenships without any legal implications. A Cypriot passport holder may acquire a foreign citizenship with no need to register it or renounce the previous one, and likewise in case of foreigners acquiring Cypriot citizenship. These are the findings of the European Edition of Chetcuti Cauchi Advocates' Dual Citizenship Report, presented recently to the Secretary of the Council of Ministers by our Managing Partner Dr Jean-Philippe Chetcuti at the Palace in Nicosia.
