What is the Yellow Slip / Pink Slip?

Anyone staying in Cyprus for more than 3 months must register for a residence permit. The registration certificate for EU citizens is printed on yellow paper — hence the name "Yellow Slip" (officially the MEU1 Registration Certificate). For Non-EU citizens, the equivalent document is the "Pink Slip" (Temporary Residence Permit).

This is not just a formality — it is a legal requirement and the foundation for everything else: opening a bank account, applying for Non-Dom status, registering for social insurance, and more.
