Job vacancies - conditions

[chatsworth]

I am noticing more and more that job adverts here are stating applicants need to have an EU passport.
I assume that rules out Brits. which probably doesn't trouble a lot of retired members on this forum but there are many British younger people with children growing up here who will need employment and could find difficulty in securing a job.

The Joys of Brexit, What I understand is, Non EU citizens can apply for work visas, but their prospective employer has to satisfy immigration, that there are no Cypriot or EU citizens who can fill that position first, which would only leave very specialized job vacancies...... it is what it is, if you vote to leave the Club, then dont complain that you cant have the benefits that the club gives.

For expat children growing up here, they could always take up Cypriot citizenship, which will allow them the same rights as everyone else.

Perhaps someone who works here and is on the forum could tell us what changes there has been if any.

Its got to be a cash in hand job, as there is a minimum wage for legal employment.

There is no standard minimum wage. It is set differently for a number of classes of work. Unfortunately bar work isn't one of them, and there is no minimum wage.

It doesn't mention bar staff, but they usually come under hospitality, the reason I asked if his employer had registered him at the social office, was because there is a minimum wage you can register someone so as to pay social contributions, if its cash in hand then that's a different issue .

I don’t think it will be too long before a minimum wage is established in Cyprus. As the laws states as posted above, it currently only affects a few categories of employees.

On the first point, anyone living here with an MEU or MUK document is protected by the withdrawal agreement and has full entitlement to work. It is those that want to live and find work here since 31st December 2020 that have now lost their right to do so. To live here requires an application as a third country national for an extension to a visitors visa (pink slip) which carries no right to work. In order to work an employer must secure a work permit on your behalf and would need to demonstrate that no EU citizen is available to fill the position.

A reasonably easy process for retirees with a lump sum in the bank and a regular income but I feel so sorry for young people who may have wanted to start a new life elsewhere in Europe.

How to provide such proof?

I would think they would need to show that they advertised the position for an amount of time and in various different places, and they could not find an adequantly experienced person from the EU to fill that position. I would think it would be a highly skilled position that local people/EU citizens could not fill,
