Residency

[hardman12]

How long has it taken from paying the Health Insurance to moving on to the next stage of paying for your Residency? We paid the Health Insurance a month ago but keeping getting the message that immigration are evaluating our residency. Just wondering if this is normal or if we need to got to immigration in Lefkosia to query it? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

I thought I read there was a month timeout on the whole online process, does anyone know if this is true?
And if so when does the month start, is it after the police appointment?

I had the police station appointment on 3 December, and a blood test on the same day. My residency came through yesterday - although at the higher rate for a year which applied from the start of January. It was backdated to when my last permit finished.

Yours should be through shortly, hopefully. My Transferwise card worked for the permit payment, which was better than asking a colleague to pay like Ihad to for the health insurance & blood test.

Good luck!

Thank you all for your help it looks as if we have to wait a bit longer.
