I'm thinking of living and working in Cyprus for a while. Anonymous
According to the Ministry of Public Affairs:
>Overseas Cypriots who do not have Cypriot citizenship may enter Cyprus without a visa and stay and work in Cyprus without formalities for an unlimited period of time.

This seems like a pretty good deal. I am considered an "Overseas Cypriot" since my parents are Cypriot.

There are two issues that perhaps someone can shed light on. Cyprus still uses conscription. It's faggy, but it's the law. Unfortunately for me, aged 18-50 male "Overseas Cypriots" are technically obliged to serve in the military, even if they aren't citizens. In practice, it seems if you're not a citizen you have to get an exit permit by Ministry of Defence before you can leave, if you haven't served. I'm afraid of all this. If I wanted to serve in the army, I'd do it here, not in Cyprus.

The second issue is actually finding work. Are there any sites with job postings for Cyprus? It would be nice to have a job lined up before I arrive.

Thanks, guise.

I don't see how they can take you under arms just because your parents are Cypriots. Talk to the embassy about it to be sure. Finding a job might not be that easy, what are your qualifications?

I've never heard of it happening, but it's straight from the Ministry of FOREIGN Affairs (I messed that up in the OP):
>All those who are not Cypriot citizens but are of Cypriot descent on the male side (i.e. their father or grandfather was of Cypriot descent even if they had not acquired Cypriot citizenship) and were born in 1960 or after, are obliged to do military service.

>what are your qualifications?
BSc in Chemistry, although I'm not necessarily looking for work in my field. I also run a part-time online business on the side but I doubt I'd have any problems with that over there.

Where do you live now and how good is your Greek?
I'm guessing either US or UK, in which case you might want to check out the demand for English language tutoring there. That's rather easy money. If your Greek is fine too, you could work in tourism.

Or you could just join the army, there's your job.

The question is WHY?
