The right health insurance policy is mandatory for all Cyprus residency permit applications. We source compliant, comprehensive coverage tailored to immigration authority requirements.
The Cyprus Civil Registry and Migration Department requires all non-EU applicants for residency permits to hold a valid health insurance policy that meets specific minimum coverage requirements. Submitting the wrong type of policy is one of the most common reasons for permit application delays or rejections.
We work with a network of approved insurance providers to source policies that meet all authority requirements — at competitive premiums — and issue your documentation quickly so your application can proceed without delay.
Comprehensive personal health coverage meeting all immigration authority minimums — hospitalisation, surgeries, emergency treatment, and outpatient visits.
Cost-effective family policies covering the main applicant plus spouse and dependants under a single policy — required for family reunification applications.
For clients who want protection beyond the immigration minimum — private hospitals, dental, vision, maternity, and international coverage options.

Yes. Health insurance covering medical expenses is a mandatory requirement for temporary residence permit (Category F / Pink Slip) applications and most work permit types. The policy must meet minimum coverage thresholds specified by the Civil Registry and Migration Department.
Possibly, but it depends on the policy wording. Many international policies do not meet Cyprus authority requirements. We can review your existing policy and confirm whether it qualifies — or recommend a compliant alternative if it does not.
The minimum coverage typically required includes: hospitalisation and surgery, emergency medical treatment, and a minimum annual benefit amount as specified by the immigration authorities. Our compliant plans exceed these minimums while remaining cost-effective.
EU citizens can rely on GeSY for their immigration applications. However, non-EU applicants typically need to demonstrate private health insurance coverage at the time of application — before they are enrolled in GeSY as residents. We advise on the correct approach for your specific situation.
Real experiences from clients who used our immigration health insurance service.

"Prestige sorted my health insurance as part of my broader immigration package. They knew exactly which providers and plans are accepted by the Cyprus immigration authorities and handled everything quickly. It was one less thing to worry about during what is already a stressful process."
