New MUKW 1, 2, 3 Documents

Post by trevnhil »

This is from Nigel Howarth on the Eastern Forum..

You may have an MEU 1, 2 or 3, which are known colloquially as "Yellow Slips". These are valid for the rest of your life and will guarantee that you retain your rights in Cyprus as defined under the Withdrawal Agreement (with the UK) and the relevant EU law.

So keep your "Yellow Slip" as it will confirm that you are a resident in Cyprus, allow you to travel through the Cypriot Airport without needing a stamp in your passport, vote in local elections, etc.

A MUKW 1, 2, 3 is the new document being issued to anyone who was resident in Cyprus before the 31st December 2020 but did not apply for and receive a Yellow Slip (MEU 1,2,3) before the end of 2020.

A MUKW 1, 2, 3 will be issued in the form of an ID card with a biometric signature containing personal data, it will be valid for 10 years, after which it can be renewed.

You do NOT need to change a Yellow Slip for an MUKW ID card.

But, if you choose you may VOLUNTARILY exchange your Yellow Slip for the new MUKW ID card for a fee of €30.00. You may wish to do this if you prefer to carry a small card rather than a folded-up copy of your Yellow Slip.

BUT at this stage the British High Commission, the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office and the Cyprus Residency Planning Group are not recommending anyone to exchange their current Yellow Slip for an MUKW, until we are sure of the NEW regulations, currently being discussed between the UK and the EU.

More on this later!
