Common mistakes
- Leaving out a child or spouse who lives with you. The required income rises by 20% for a spouse and 15% per child.
- Passport numbers that differ from the passports handed in with each family member's own application.
- Submitting it without the summarized statement of income, which the checklist pairs with it.
- Listing people you will not actually support in Cyprus.
Questions
Where do I download this declaration?
From the Migration Department's visitors forms page on gov.cy, listed as 'Declaration – number of supported family members'. It is a one-page Word (.doc) file.
Why does the department need it?
The visitor permit checklist asks for at least €24,000 a year for one person, plus 20% for a spouse and 15% for each child. The declaration tells the officer how many people your income must cover.
Do my family members still need their own applications?
Yes. A spouse or child applies in their own purpose category on MVIS8; this declaration only supports the income check.
