Fast-track registration in Cyprus

Companies with foreign interests (mostly owned by non-EU nationals, or in one of the other listed categories) register with the Business Support Center (BSC) to hire non-EU staff on the fast track, with no quota but a commitment that 30% of staff are Cypriot or EU citizens within five years. We prepare the application and the employer registration.
