 In General
The Cyprus Government Policy for encouraging and supporting repatriation, is expressed through different Schemes, such as the ones listed below:

- Custom duties and taxes reliefs for normal residence and privately owned vehicle transfering in Cyprus (Visit the Website of the Customs and Excise Department at the Publications & more section)
Cypriot Citizenship
Cyprus accepts dual citizenship. Overseas Cypriots may obtain both the Cypriot citizenship, as well as the citizenship of the country of their residence or any other citizenship.
Minors (under the age of 18), may apply for Cypriot Citizenship, provided that they were born abroad after 16/8/1960 and their father is a Cypriot citizen or they were born after 11/6/199 and their mother is a Cypriot citizen. Also, minors may apply for citizenship, if they were born either in Cyprus or abroad before 11/6/1999 and their mother is a Cypriot citizen or their father acquired the Cypriot citizenship after their birth.
Adults (over the age of 18), who are of Cypriot origin and were born before 16/8/1960, may apply for Cypriot Citizenship. Also, any overseas Cypriot, who was born after 16/8/1960, regardless of the place of his/her residence, may apply for Citizenship. Persons of Cypriot origin, born either before or after 16/8/1960 and are British citizens or citizens of any commonwealth country and are legally residing in the Republic of Cyprus for a period of one year they may also apply to become Cypriot citizens.
The applications for citizenship should be submitted to the Consular Authorities; in the case the applicants are in Cyprus, they can submit their application to the Civil Registry and Migration Department offices or to the District Administration Offices.
Identity Cards, Passports and Voting Card
Overseas and/or repatriated Cypriots are eligible and may apply for a Cypriot identity card and passport, as well as to be registered in the electoral list, provided that they fulfill the criteria and the prerequisites, which are determined by the respective legislations and regulations.
