Hi,



Any idea how long its taking to process a residency application?



We have done the police bit but wondered how long its taking to process the documentations through the office in Lefkosa.We understand its taking 3 weeks ?



Thanks

What with Bayram just gone and New Year soon, I'd wait until at least January before going over there.

There is a phone number to find out if it's ready. I'm sure someone will oblige with it.

Mine took 5 weeks and that wasnt Bayram, it depends how many they have to process, leave it four and you should be ok

This was for my 2nd year renewal.

The No to ring is:- 03926111016 most of the time nobody answers though.

I am wanting to go back to the UK shortly but have been told by immagration I can

not until I have the new stamp !!!!

Baydweller I left the country and returned twice whilst waiting for my renewal stamp. It is no problem at all. They will simply give you a new 90 day visa when you return.

Filed my papers and then spent a few days last week in the south after the expiry date. Immigration on our return at Pyla looked, ask why expired, we said docs in and awaiting new stamp, he issued a 60 visa, not the usual 90 days, smiled and said "no problem"..

Has anybody phoned the immigration office and actually spoken to anyone?

I've phoned that number and it just rings and rings.

Mine went in on 29th Dec.

The only times I`ve managed to speak to the girl is by phoning first thing in the morning, 8.30 all the rest of the time no one answers
