Residential address

The address you provide must exactly match the address specified in your rental agreement or property purchase contract.

Any discrepancies may lead to additional checks and delays.

Parents’ names

The form must include the names of your parents, even if they are deceased.

Important: the first names only, without surnames, are required — this is the traditional norm for the region.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a residence permit based on rental?

Many use the expression “residence permit by rental agreement,” but in reality, this is a “high-income residence permit.” If you do not own property, you must prove to the government that you are financially capable and have sufficient income to live here, as well as a place to reside, so a rental agreement will be necessary.

Where and how is information about children provided?

To attach children to a parent’s residence permit, minors are registered along with your documents when you fill in your personal information in your account.

Where does the interview take place?

You must attend the interview at the police station that corresponds to your residential area according to your property or rental agreement.

Here are the contacts of police stations in North Cyprus by district.

For how long can a residence permit be requested?

Authorities of the TRNC issue residence permits for 6, 12, and 24 months. The immigration officer may issue a permit for a different duration than requested or may refuse it altogether.
