Amnesty for illegal residents and workers in North Cyprus is out officially

The "Immigration Amnesty", officially known as the "Foreigners Immigration (Amendment) Bill", approved by the TRNC Parliament by a majority of votes last week has been officially approved. 

In an announcement made by the TRNC Ministry of Internal Affairs on Wednesday, November, 3,2021, it was stated that the Immigration Amnesty had begun. The statement also included who can benefit from the amnesty and how.

The amnesty was introduced due to the inability of the economy to grow due to the economic crisis in the country, the deterioration of family integrity, the inability to prevent illegal workforce, the closure of administrative institutions and workplaces due to problems caused by the Covid19 epidemic in the country which caused disruptions in permit procedures. The Law on Foreigners and Immigration (Amendment) was introduced to overcome these problems.

“Students, workers and residence permit holders who have been sentenced for several reasons in the TRNC without permission, can benefit from the amnesty which will remain in force for 90 days from the date it was published in the Official Gazette on November 3, 2021 until January 31, 2022.
