Hello Cyprus,
I wonder if anyone can tell me the answer to this. My Father is a Cypriot National and as such I wonder if I can also gain a dual nationality as I am English.
I have tried looking on the web but cannot find the answer.
Yours in sport

The answer is yes. I know many that have dual UK/Cyprus citizenship. Try this site for info: http://www.orc.gov.cy/

how about obligatory military service when u gain dual nationality ..?

[saravakos]

your obliged to do it regardless, if your father is cypriot

if you go to cyprus make sure you get an Exit Visa (Adia Exodou) to leave the country otherwise they're throwing your ass into the army.

some one said on here somewhere you dont need that exit pass anymore???

Does anyone know how things would work about someone with a Cypriot mother getting dual citizenship?

It should be the same as if you have a Cypriot Father, but there is no military obligation.

saravakos, i will try to find the quote somewhere in a min but it was a general thing that exit passes are no longer needed the quote was from a news paper or something bare with me i will look

'CYPRIOTS over the age of 21 no longer need to show an exit permit at passport control when leaving the country'

Svetlana you put this on the 'Do i have to do the army if my mother is english?" bit. I knew i saw it somewhere!
