Cyprus

Cyprus is not State Party to any of the four core statelessness conventions, being one of only three Council of Europe Member States yet to accede to the 1954 Convention on the Status of Stateless Persons. Its performance against international standards in other areas of the Index is generally weak, and there is very little reliable data on the stateless population. Although statelessness is referenced in Cypriot law and may be identified in certain administrative procedures, there is no definition of a stateless person, no dedicated statelessness determination procedure, no statelessness protection status, few protections against arbitrary detention, and few safeguards to prevent statelessness in Cypriot nationality law.

Some procedural safeguards exist in the asylum procedure and in relation to detention, including the right to legal aid and remedies. If refused asylum and subsidiary protection, a stateless person may be considered for a short-term residence permit on humanitarian grounds by the Migration Department, but this is discretionary, grants limited rights and is not consistently applied. There is no facilitated route to naturalisation for stateless people in Cyprus and legislative amendments adopted in December 2023 have strengthened the naturalisation requirements. There is no safeguard to prevent children being born stateless in Cyprus, nor to regulate the nationality of foundlings, issues that were raised by the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child in its latest Concluding Observations to Cyprus. Problematic birth registration practices, including fees and requests for documentation, heighten the risk of statelessness among certain groups. Children born to Cypriot parents abroad acquire nationality automatically, but where a child is born in Cyprus to one Cypriot parent and one non-Cypriot who entered or remained in Cyprus irregularly, a discriminatory condition prevents the child from acquiring nationality unless the Ministerial Council orders otherwise. There are no safeguards to prevent statelessness in cases of deprivation of Cypriot nationality.

Instrumente internaționale și regionale

Assesses whether countries are State party to the relevant international and regional instruments, including whether reservations have an impact on statelessness, and whether instruments are incorporated into domestic law. The four core statelessness treaties (1954 Convention relating to the Status of Stateless Persons; 1961 Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness; European Convention on Nationality; Council of Europe Convention on the Avoidance of Statelessness in Relation to State Succession) carry more weight than other relevant human rights instruments in the assessment.

Although Cyprus has a relatively good record of accession to international human rights instruments generally, when it comes to protecting stateless people and preventing and reducing statelessness, its treaty record is poor. Cyprus is one of only three European Union Member States not yet party to the 1954 Convention on the Status of Stateless Persons, and indeed, is not party to any of the four core statelessness conventions. However, Cyprus is State party to all other relevant regional and international instruments (except for the Convention on Migrant Workers), and so is bound by a range of specific obligations under international law including to uphold the child’s right to a nationality and to protect stateless people from arbitrary detention.

  • Cyprus is not State party to the 1954 Convention. It introduced a legislative bill in 2011 for accession but this is still pending.
  • Cyprus is not State party to the 1961 Convention.
  • Cyprus is not State party to the European Convention on Nationality nor to the European Convention on the Avoidance of Statelessness in Relation to State Succession.
  • Cyprus is State party to all other relevant regional and international instruments except for the Convention on the Rights of Migrant Workers.

Date cu privire la populația apatridă

Examines the availability and sources of disaggregated population data on statelessness. Provides recent figures and assesses reliability of measures countries have in place to count stateless persons, including in the census, population registries, and migration databases. Notes whether statelessness has been mapped in the country and whether there are sufficient measures in place to count stateless persons in detention.

There is very little reliable data on the stateless population in Cyprus. There are no measures in place to count stateless people in the national census, nor other national statistical databases, and statelessness has never been mapped in Cyprus. Asylum statistics contain relevant categories to record the number of applications lodged by stateless refugees, but recording is not consistent, there have been discrepancies in how Palestinians are recorded, officials have at times conflated former country of residence with nationality, and reported figures are so low as to suggest significant underreporting. The Cypriot Government does not publish data on stateless people in immigration detention.

  • Cyprus does not have any measures in place to count stateless people in its national census, nor other national statistical databases.
  • Asylum statistics contain relevant fields to count asylum applications lodged by stateless people and those with unknown nationality, but recording is not consistent, and people have at times been registered by officials as having the nationality of their country of former residence even if they say they are stateless.
  • There are also discrepancies in how Palestinians are recorded in asylum statistics. Until September 2014, Palestinian asylum seekers were registered under their country of habitual residence (along with nationals of those countries), and people from the West Bank and Gaza were registered under 'Occupied Palestinian Territories'. Between September 2014 and September 2015, UNRWA-registered Palestinians were registered as 'stateless' and those holding Palestinian Authority documents as 'Occupied Palestinian Territories'. Since September 2015, recording has been standardised, and all Palestinians are now registered as 'Occupied Palestinian Territories'.
  • Data on the stateless population in Cyprus is very likely underreported. As the authorities do not maintain reliable data on the stateless population, UNHCR is unable to estimate the numbers affected, and there have been no surveys or mapping studies of the stateless population in Cyprus.
  • An improvement was noted in 2021 as the Asylum Service started registering people under the categories 'stateless' and 'unknown nationality’. In 2021, the Asylum Service recorded 10 people who were granted refugee status as stateless. In 2022, eight people granted refugee status were recorded as stateless. In 2023, 10 people were registered in the asylum procedures as stateless but decisions are yet to be issued.
  • The Government does not record or publish figures for stateless people held in immigration detention.
  • A number of stateless people have been identified over the years during monitoring visits by the Cyprus Refugee Council and other NGOs.

Determinarea apatridiei și a statutului de apatrid

Identifies whether countries have a definition of a stateless person in national law that aligns with the 1954 Convention, and whether they have a dedicated statelessness determination procedure (SDP) leading to a dedicated stateless status. If an SDP is not place, it assesses whether there are other procedures in which statelessness can be identified or other routes through which stateless people could regularise their stay or access their rights. Countries are subdivided in three groups to enable comparison between those with an SDP leading to protection, those with other procedures, and those with a statelessness status but no clear mechanism to access protection. The existing procedures and rights granted to stateless persons are examined and assessed against international norms and good practice. Assesses whether stateless people fleeing war have access to temporary protection.

Although statelessness is referenced in Cypriot law and may be identified in certain administrative procedures, there is no definition of a stateless person, no dedicated statelessness determination procedure, and no stateless protection status. Some procedural safeguards exist in the asylum procedure and stateless refugees may be granted international protection if they meet the refugee definition (or threshold for subsidiary protection). Some stateless people refused asylum were previously granted humanitarian protection if they could not return to their countries of former residence, but this status was abolished from the Refugee Law in 2014. A short-term residence permit may be granted for humanitarian reasons by the Migration Department if a person is refused asylum and referred to them for consideration, but rights in this case are very limited. A humanitarian permit provides no access to social security or healthcare, only discretional access to the labour market, and the procedure is not set out in law nor consistently applied.

  • There is no definition of a stateless person in national law, although there are references to stateless people in the Refugee Law, the Aliens and Immigration Law, and the Civil Registry Law.
  • UNHCR provides training to the Asylum Service in which the protection needs of stateless people are highlighted. Training and legal and technical advice are also provided in the framework of UNHCR's supervisory and monitoring role of the refugee status determination procedure.
  • Some of these training sessions are open to wider stakeholders and audiences including judges and lawyers.
  • There is no dedicated statelessness determination procedure in Cyprus, but there are other administrative procedures through which statelessness may be identified.
  • Statelessness may be identified through the refugee status determination procedure in Cyprus or in the process of renewal of temporary residence permits, but statelessness determination is not a specific objective of either of these mechanisms.
  • If a stateless person has international protection needs, they may be granted such protection and relevant rights without statelessness being identified or determined. For example, stateless Kurds from Syria may be granted subsidiary protection due to the conflict in Syria without their statelessness being assessed.
  • The Refugee Law provides that applications for asylum may be submitted for examination by the Asylum Service by stateless people who fear persecution in their country of former habitual residence.
  • In the procedure to renew temporary residence, if someone is denied renewal of a document from their country of origin, they may in turn be denied renewal of their temporary residence in Cyprus by the Migration Department. In this case, they may be issued a short-term residence permit on humanitarian grounds, but there is no formalised procedure, and people are not routinely made aware of this possibility.
  • As there are no standardised procedures relating to statelessness determination, cooperation between authorities is difficult. The Asylum Service may refer stateless people in the asylum procedure to the Migration Department to grant short-term residence on humanitarian grounds, but this is not done consistently.
  • In refugee status determination procedures, the burden of proof is shared, and the standard of proof is ‘balance of probabilities’.
  • Decision-makers are not presented with clear guidance on how to identify or determine statelessness, and no country-of-origin information is produced in Cyprus so decision-makers draw this information from other sources.
  • In refugee status determination procedures, an interview is provided, unless it is not in the applicant's best interests, and interpreters are provided.
  • Decisions are always in writing, but at first instance these are usually only given in English with detailed reasons.
  • Legal aid is provided only for judicial appeals and is subject to a merit and means test, which people can rarely argue for without legal assistance, so, in practice, there are significant barriers to accessing legal aid.
  • There is no statelessness status in Cyprus.
  • Stateless refugees may be granted refugee status if they meet the refugee definition, or subsidiary protection, but the latter does not give family reunion rights, and neither gives access to housing schemes or student grants.
  • There is no specified duration for refugee or subsidiary protection status. The status granted is maintained until cessation procedures are initiated in line with provisions set out in the Refugee Law.
  • Prior to 2014, a number of stateless people were granted humanitarian status under the Refugee Law if they were refused international protection but could not return to their countries of former residence. Humanitarian status gave rights similar to asylum seekers, but it was abolished in 2014 from the refugee law.
  • A short-term residence permit may be granted for humanitarian reasons by the Migration Department if a person is refused asylum and referred to them for consideration.
  • The rights granted to holders of a humanitarian residence permit are very limited and similar to those of foreign visitors: no access to social security, the labour market or healthcare. Access to the labour market may be granted in some cases at the discretion of the Migration Directorate. The procedure is not set out in law and not consistently applied.
  • Neither stateless people nor beneficiaries of international protection have a right to vote in elections in Cyprus.
  • Cyprus offers protection under the EU Temporary Protection Directive; however, for stateless people and non-Ukrainians, this is limited to those living in Ukraine before 24 February 2022 with a permanent residence permit, who are unable to return safely to their country of origin.
  • No stateless people from Ukraine have been recorded in Cyprus, likely due to its geographical location.

Detenția

Analyses law, policy and practice relating to immigration detention generally, but focusing on protections in place to prevent the arbitrary detention of stateless people during removal and deportation procedures. Subthemes examine areas such as the identification of statelessness and assessment of whether there is a reasonable prospect of removal, procedural safeguards such as time limits, judicial oversight, and effective remedies, as well as the rights granted to stateless people upon release from detention and protection against re-detention.

There are few protections in Cyprus against the arbitrary detention of stateless people. Powers for detention are set in law and should only ever be applied as a last resort, and in practice a proposed country of removal is usually not identified before ordering detention. However, statelessness is not considered juridically relevant, and an examination of alternatives is rare, despite less coercive measure being established in law. There are some procedural protections in law, including an obligation to provide written reasons for detention and information about remedies, a time limit in the case of detention for removal, and access to legal aid. However, in practice, reasons given are often general and not based on individual considerations, monitoring visits have revealed that detainees are unaware of their rights, and access to effective remedies is limited. There is no automatic judicial review of detention, and no consistent access to documentation on release, leaving stateless people at risk of re-detention and destitution.

  • Powers for detention are set out in the Aliens and Immigration Law and the Refugee Law.
  • The law provides that detention should only be used as a last resort and when alternatives cannot be applied in each specific case. However, detention is usually ordered without an assessment of the necessity of detention or an examination of alternatives, and there have been cases of stateless people being detained in practice.
  • Alternatives to detention are provided for in law and include regular reporting, financial guarantee, stay in a designated place, and probation.
  • However, alternatives are not subject to a time limit nor proportionality test, there are no implementing guidelines or regulations for their application, and there is no evidence of alternatives being considered prior to detention in practice.
  • According to national law, there is a clear obligation to release a person when there is no reasonable prospect of removal but in practice this is often not respected. A recent court case confirmed that the authorities must determine the country of removal when adopting a return decision, however in practice this has not been implemented.
  • Statelessness is not explicitly juridically relevant in the decision to detain, but there should be an examination of whether there is a reasonable prospect of removal. However, in practice, this is rarely applied.
  • Statelessness is not explicitly juridically relevant in the decision to detain.
  • Individual vulnerability assessments appear not to be carried out before or shortly after a decision to detain. Individuals in situations of vulnerability have been identified in detention during monitoring visits, including survivors of trafficking, sexual violence, and torture.
  • There is a definition of vulnerability in the Immigration Law as well as the Refugee Law; however, neither explicitly include statelessness. Overall statelessness is not considered to be a factor that increases vulnerability.
  • There is no designated time limit on detention under the Refugee Law.
  • Detention under the articles of the Aliens and Immigration Law that reflect the Returns Directive cannot exceed six months, extendable for a further 12 months if the detainee refuses to cooperate or a third country delays issuing documents. Detention under other articles of the Aliens and Immigration Law do not have a time limit.
  • The obligation to provide written reasons for detention and information about remedies is set in law, but in practice this is often a general reference to the legal ground on which detention is based without any individual reasoning.
    Information is given to detainees on how to judicially challenge detention under the Constitution but not on habeas corpus procedures, and a written leaflet given to people in detention does not contain detailed information on how to access remedies or legal aid. In practice, monitoring visits have revealed that people are not aware of their rights or reasons for detention.
  • There are no provisions for automatic review of detention under the Refugee Law (since 2016). Under the Aliens and Immigration Law, the Minister of Interior automatically reviews detention every two months to confirm its legality and necessity, but there is no automatic judicial review.
  • Two legal remedies are available to people in detention: a challenge before the Administrative Court or the Administrative Court of International Protection on the lawfulness of detention, and a habeas corpus application before the Supreme Court on grounds of the length of detention.
  • Legal aid is available to detained asylum seekers with no merit and means test. NGO lawyers may provide assistance to prepare cases, but they are not permitted to appear before the court. Legal aid is also available to challenge return, removal, and entry ban decisions but not deportation or detention decisions, which seriously impedes access to an effective remedy for those detained under the Aliens and Immigration Law.
  • There is a circular on the issuance of travel documents to undocumented detainees under deportation procedures, which provides some guidance on the process of redocumentation and ascertaining nationality.
  • Documentation is not consistently issued to people without residence status who are released from detention.
  • Where a short-term residence permit on humanitarian grounds is to be issued, individuals are given a letter from the Migration Department informing them that they are entitled to stay and possibly to work in Cyprus with conditions to apply for such a permit. This does not permit access to social security or legal aid. In practice, in the majority of cases the conditions are not able to be met and the permit is not issued. Stateless people face an additional obstacle in accessing these minimal rights as one of the conditions is the submission of a valid passport.
  • In practice, stateless people may remain without documentation and at risk of re-detention and destitution on release from detention.
  • Cumulative time spent in detention does not count towards the maximum time limit.
  • Statelessness is not considered juridically relevant in readmission and return agreements in cases concerning adults and children.

Prevenire și reducere

Assesses the adequacy of safeguards in nationality laws to prevent and reduce statelessness, including facilitated routes to naturalisation for stateless people, and protections for otherwise stateless children born on the territory or to nationals abroad, foundlings and adopted children. Examines law, policy, and practice on birth registration, including access to late birth registration, and reduction measures taken by States to prevent and reduce in situ statelessness. Analyses provisions on deprivation of nationality and whether there are safeguards related to renunciation and deprivation of nationality to prevent statelessness from occurring.

There is no facilitated route to naturalisation for stateless people in Cyprus and legislative amendments adopted in December 2023 have strengthened the naturalisation requirements. There are few safeguards in Cypriot nationality law to prevent statelessness in Cyprus and little evidence of measures to reduce the risk of statelessness. There is no provision in law to prevent children being born stateless in Cyprus, nor to regulate the nationality of foundlings. Adopted children acquire nationality but may face a risk of statelessness during the procedure. Children born to Cypriot parents abroad acquire nationality automatically, but where a child is born in Cyprus to one Cypriot and one non-Cypriot who entered or remained in Cyprus irregularly, the child does not acquire nationality unless the Ministerial Council orders otherwise. This discriminatory condition was initially applied in cases of mixed marriages between Turkish Cypriots and Turkish settlers (or other non-Cypriots) but has in recent years been applied in cases where one parent is Greek Cypriot and the other is a third-country national. Problematic birth registration practices, including fees for both in-time and late registration, as well as reports of requests for documentation being a barrier to registration, heighten the risk of statelessness among certain groups. There is no safeguard against statelessness in cases of deprivation of nationality.

  • Stateless adults may naturalise under general naturalisation requirements. There is no distinction in the timeframe nor eligibility requirements for stateless people to acquire nationality as compared to people with a foreign nationality.
  • Legislative amendments adopted in December 2023 have expanded the eligibility requirements for naturalisation. The amendment increased the residence requirement for refugees, including stateless people, from five to eight years, and the years of residence as an asylum seeker or beneficiary of subsidiary or temporary protection are not counted towards the residence requirement.
  • Until the recently amended law, the only requirements besides the residence requirement were having three guarantors with Cypriot nationality,  being deemed of ‘good character’ and presenting a clear criminal record. The new amendments introduce a non-exhaustive list of evidence indicating ‘good character’ that includes not having entered or stayed in the country irregularly. There is also a new requirement for the applicant to provide proof of suitable accommodation and regular financial resources, and receiving financial State support at any time is consider an indication that this requirement is not  satisfied. The applicant must also demonstrate sufficient knowledge of the Greek language at level B1 (except for highly skilled workers), and adequate knowledge of the contemporary political and social reality of Cyprus.
  • There is a fee of 500 EUR to submit the application and applicants must attend an interview.
  • The new requirements are expected to make it harder for stateless people to acquire Cypriot nationality, as most of them enter Cyprus irregularly due to the nature of their status, have been granted subsidiary protection, and/or may have received financial support at some time. Applications usually take two to three years to be examined.
  • Children are not permitted to naturalise as Cypriot citizens.
  • There is no provision in law for children born on the territory who would otherwise be stateless to acquire Cypriot nationality.
  • Stateless children (regardless of their place of birth) may acquire nationality as dependents through an application by their parents. Adults may apply after seven years’ legal residence (in the case of people who reside in the country solely for the purpose of work, including visitors and students), or five years if residing legally as beneficiaries of international protection.
  • There are no specific provisions to protect the right to a nationality of children born to refugees in Cyprus.
  • National law provides for the registration of the birth of a foundling but there are no provisions in the law regarding the nationality of foundlings.
  • There is no provision in law regulating the adoption of a child national by foreign parent(s). However, Cypriot nationality can only be withdrawn if the person acquired it by registration or application and not if it was acquired by birth or descent, and there are no restrictions on the number of nationalities a person can have.
  • A foreign child adopted by national parents acquires Cypriot nationality upon the date of the adoption (date of the court order). The child may be stateless during the procedure, but in practice there is no indication that this is an obstacle in the adoption procedures.  
  • People aged over 18 who are adopted by nationals do not acquire Cypriot nationality automatically but must apply for nationality under standard naturalisation provisions.
  • Children born abroad to at least one parent with Cypriot nationality can acquire Cypriot nationality.
  • However, in cases of children born in Cyprus where one parent is Cypriot and the other is non-Cypriot and entered or remained in Cyprus irregularly, the child does not acquire nationality unless the Ministerial Council orders otherwise. This condition is considered to be discriminatory and is usually applied in cases of mixed marriages between Turkish Cypriots and Turkish settlers or other non-Cypriots who entered or remained irregularly in the country, and in recent years between a Greek Cypriot and a third-country national. In many such cases it is possible for the child to acquire Turkish citizenship, and therefore they may not be stateless. However, there are increasing reports of cases where there may be obstacles to acquiring Turkish nationality for the child. According to reports, the number of people denied Cypriot nationality ranges from 6,000-10,000.
  • This condition is also increasingly applied to children of Cypriots of Greek ethnic origin, who have children with non-Cypriots who entered or remained irregularly in the country. Such children will remain non-Cypriot nationals unless the Ministerial Council orders that they are nationals. In the last ten years, cases that require the approval of the Ministerial Council to acquire nationality are all on hold with extremely few exceptions.
  • There is no differential treatment relating to nationality based on whether parents are married.
  • Same-sex couples have the right to enter a civil partnership in Cyprus, but only one of the same-sex parents may be registered on their child’s birth certificate. The parent who is not on the birth certificate will not be able to confer nationality.
  • All births must be registered at the respective District Administration Office within 15 days of the date of birth regardless of whether the parents are undocumented or without legal residence in the country.
  • There is a fee of 5 EUR to record a birth and birth certificates are issued to every registered child.
  • Undocumented parents, including stateless people, may face difficulties registering births as there have been cases where they were asked to present passports or other documentation as a condition for registration, and they may fear their lack of residence status being detected. Several complaints have been submitted to the Children’s Commissioner in this regard.
  • Late registration is possible by law, but it is subject to a late registration fee, which until 2019 was 150 EUR, but has since been reduced to 30 EUR (for births registered within three months from the date of birth) or 60 EUR (for births registered later than three months). The fee can be an obstacle to registration for some families. In cases where three months have elapsed, an affidavit and approval of the Registrar are required.
  • The child's nationality is only determined upon birth registration if the child is considered a Cypriot national. If the child’s parents are not Cypriot nationals, nationality will not be determined. There is no formal procedure, and the nationality will be determined by the State official completing the registration. There is no legal framework to determine a child’s nationality afterwards unless the possible nationality is Cypriot.
  • There are no mandatory requirements for authorities to report undocumented parents. However, there are cases of undocumented parents who were afraid to appear before authorities, which posed a barrier to birth registration of their children.
  • There are no current government initiatives in Cyprus to promote civil registration and no measures aimed at reducing statelessness or the risk of statelessness.
  • The following sections of the population are believed to be stateless or at risk of statelessness: the children of Cypriot nationals and Turkish nationals or third-country nationals who have entered or remain in Cyprus without residence status; the children of refugees born in Cyprus; stateless Syrian Kurds; a small number of nationals of the former Soviet Union, including Roma; a small number of Uyghurs; Palestinians; Turkish settlers living in the occupied northern part of Cyprus and their children born in Cyprus who may have lost and/or not acquired Turkish nationality and hold the non-recognised nationality of the “Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus”.
  • There is no safeguard against statelessness in cases of deprivation of nationality.
  • Naturalised or registered Cypriot nationals may be deprived of their nationality on grounds including fraud, serious criminal offences, national security grounds, or residence abroad for a continuous period of seven years without notification.
  • Provisions for deprivation of nationality are implemented in practice.
  • According to the Law, Cypriot nationality may only be deprived in cases where it was acquired by registration or naturalisation, not by descent, leading to discrimination between nationals.
  • There are safeguards in law to prevent renunciation of nationality from resulting in statelessness as renunciation of Cypriot nationality requires the person to have the nationality of another country.
  • The competent authority to issue orders for deprivation of nationality is the Council of Ministers, and there is a right to request an investigation by the Independent Nationality Deprivation Examination Committee. The Committee must deliver a reasoned decision to the Council of Ministers. There is no time limit and, aside from the Independent Committee, the law does not provide for judicial oversight, appeal rights, or legal aid. As in the case of all administrative decisions, a recourse (appeal) may be submitted before the Administrative Court.
  • There are no safeguards to prevent derivative loss of nationality. There have been cases where deprivation of an individual’s nationality led to loss of nationality for the spouse and children. However, due to lack of data, the number of such cases is not clear.
