SocietyCyprus begins granting residency to Belarusians with expired passports
Since May 2026, Cyprus has allowed Belarusian citizens with expired passports to obtain or renew residence permits. Children born on the island to two Belarusian parents who cannot secure Belarusian passports may also qualify using a Cypriot birth certificate. The permit does not replace a passport or solve travel problems, and officials have not clarified whether the time counts toward citizenship residency requirements.
