As a non-EU student, you need both an entry visa from a Cypriot embassy and a residence permit (commonly called the “Pink Slip”) after arrival. Plan two to three months for the entry visa and a further four to eight weeks for the Pink Slip after landing. Your university’s international office handles much of the paperwork. The official source is the Republic of Cyprus Civil Registry and Migration Department — always confirm the latest requirements there before applying.
