Services
Everything official, taken off your plate
One person, one conversation, all your Cyprus paperwork — prepared, submitted and followed up.
Immigration & residence
Residence permits
Full support with applications and renewals: documents, submission and follow-up.
Read more →MEU1 registration certificate
The yellow slip every EU citizen needs to stay past three months. €20, four months to register, and a fine up to €2,500 if you miss it.
Read more →MEU2 residence card
For a spouse, child or dependent parent who is not an EU citizen. Better terms than the third-country routes — and you both have to attend.
Read more →MEU3 permanent residence
Five uninterrupted years and the right is automatic. We map the years first and tell you whether they hold together before anything is filed.
Read more →Permanent residence permit
The route chosen before anything is paid for — investor permit, Category F or long-term resident status — then the file prepared and submitted.
Read more →Immigration permit 6(2)
Permanent residence in about two months on a €300,000 investment. The route the money takes matters as much as the amount.
Read more →Long-term residence (MLT3)
€30, five years, and the only permanent route that frees you from a named employer. Submitted in Nicosia only, and refused at the counter if the file is short.
Read more →Residence permit renewals
Renew at least a month before it expires — the Department's own instruction. We track the date and prepare the file so a lapse never breaks your five years.
Read more →Documents & government services

Buying a home — the paperwork
We are not estate agents and do not sell property. Anywhere in Cyprus, we handle the purchase permission, translations and apostilles, introduce you to a licensed agent, and tell you what we know about the area from living here.
Read more →Driving licence exchange
We check whether your country is on the recognition list — that answer decides whether this is an exchange or a test — then prepare the TOM 7D file, the copies and the sworn translation.
Read more →School enrolment
Public or private, in the January window or mid-year through the District Education Office. We prepare and check the whole file.
Read more →GESY registration
Paying the contribution is not the same as being registered. We do both steps and find you a personal doctor with space on their list.
Read more →Insurance
Health, life, motor, property, travel and business cover, issued fast — often the same day.
Read more →Life insurance & pension savings
Cover that is tax deductible and builds a fund for later. We check the 7% and 20% limits before you sign, then arrange it.
Read more →Personal bank account opening
Proof of address, tax number and source of funds, prepared the way the bank wants them — and if you are refused, the complaint route that actually exists.
Ask about this →Domestic worker employment

Read more →Business, tax & investment
Company incorporation
Company name, registration and paperwork — a practical start for your Cyprus business.

Read more →Corporate bank account opening
The file the bank actually reviews — substance, structure and source of funds — plus introductions and an EMI bridge where one makes sense.
Ask about this →Analytics Services
Dashboards and reporting, forecasting and machine learning, and AI tools built on your own data — from cleaning it up to putting a model in front of the person deciding. Monthly, by the day, or by the project.
Read more →For passports and ID cards, where the law requires you to attend in person for biometrics, we prepare your file and guide you through each step. We cannot issue government documents or attend biometric capture on your behalf.

The Cyprus 50% tax exemption: who really qualifies in 2026
Half your salary exempt from income tax for up to seventeen years. The condition almost every article still gets wrong is the fifteen years of prior absence — it was ten until 30 June 2023.
Know Your RightsMoving to Cyprus from the UK: documents and residence
One date decides everything — 31 December 2020. Before it, you keep the rights you had and need not exchange your yellow slip. After it, you are a third-country national and none of this applies.
Family, Children & SchoolsHow to get a Cyprus marriage certificate
€13.65, and one thing that catches people out: there is no central register to ask. The certificate comes from the municipality that married you, so the first question is where, not what.
How it works
Three simple steps.
Almost no effort from you.

Write to us in English, Russian or Greek. Describe your situation — we tell you exactly what is possible, how long it takes and what it costs.

Forms, government offices, translations, embassies and appointments — including remotely by power of attorney where the law allows it.
You receive your documents
Collected in person or delivered to you anywhere in Cyprus, checked and ready to use locally or abroad.

About
Hi, I’m Veronica
I live in Larnaca and for more than three years I have been helping people who moved to Cyprus from abroad find their way through confusing official document processes.
Most of my clients don’t speak Greek, don’t know which office to go to, and don’t have days to spend waiting in queues. So I do it for them: forms, government offices, translations, apostille, embassies — end to end, in the language they are comfortable with.
