Does anyone know if you can request approval via SMS for two people travelling together at the same time using one mobile phone.

Try it!
First person enters the relevant details and sends SMS.
Second person enters the relevant details and sends SMS only difference being the ID number.
You will receive a separate reply for each so worth waiting for the first person to get the reply before the second person sends their text.
Hope this works as I haven't tried it, but that is what I would do.

Can't see that being right, what if you are a parent and child

389 people fined to date for being out without the citizens form or abuse of the system, some up to €3,000.
These figures were on one of the Cyprus/Russian forums. Best to go out only if you really have to.

I understood it to be 2 people maximum but could be more if there were children from the same household.

It is very difficult if there is just Mum and 2 youngsters..

We exercise our dogs every morning. I send the message twice, with just the different passport number. No problem! We have only passed One person twice this week, keeping the social distance. They were also out with their dog. I saw a family out with their child and the dog when i was returning from the shops last week, so it seems you can go out as a famiky, unless they were flouting the lockdown?

Do you really think that you can go out as a family? Do you really want to put your family at increased risk?

Are you asking me Devil? I don't think that at all! I was merely saying I saw someone out as a family. Someone else mentioned it. I don't have family here.

'you' was general to anyone reading it, not specifically thee.

If generalising when using the word 'all' may I suggest you use the phrase 'you all'. This may help to refuse confusion and possible aggravation between posters which is not something we need in these trying times.

I can confirm that you can get SMS approval for two people using the same mobile phone by making separate applications to the SMS number, one after the other, as I did it this morning.
Disappointingly I was not checked once on our weekly trip from Peyia to Paphos and back. I went out with both the form and SMS response so could not test whether the form was being accepted (having the SMS backup just in case it wasn't).
Contrary to what was posted elsewhere I saw only one couple and one individual walking dogs on our journey along Peyia main street. No other pedestrians at all.

Varky, I hope you don't think I am nosy but why the trip to Paphos? I thought most if not all things could be obtained in Peyia ... I really am wanting to go to Paphos from Polemi, to our favourite Supermarket and to a BOC, ATM There are shops in our village and a kiosk ATM ..

I've just got back from Paphos. I had two forms printed out; one Code 8 for a trip to the Green Point, and one for the supermarket.
The only queues I saw were outside banks. Hopefully this crisis will enable the local Cypriots to at last embrace online banking.
Regarding supermarkets, I first went to Alpha Mega, then I went to Mesogi Road Lidl. I wasn't stopped at any roadblock, though I did see a couple of police cars driving around.
The supermarkets themselves were both well stocked, though I couldn't get any yeast at Lidl. Luckily I had already bought some at Alpha Mega. I prefer the Lidl ones though because the sachets are the exact right amount for a loaf in the bread maker.

Someone I know went from Pafos to Limassol just because he felt like it! I don'think he even bothered with a permit.
Time to restrict how far you can travel m'thinks. 15km maybe?
Re: Citizen's Form and SMS Generator

The problem is that 15km is not a lot if you are travelling from Polemi or Stroumbi .. I am not sure if you were referring to the total journey or to a place so far from your home... But 20km out and 20 km back would be better

Excellent news -surprising how many couples just have the one Cyprus mobile phone number, so this is very useful.

As I wrote elsewhere in a few days my wife has an appointment with with the surgeon who did her pacemaker six weeks ago in Nicosia, he rang her last week, 15k wouldn’t be very helpful.
