Court intervention over delayed citizenship application response
October 21, 2024
An Egyptian national submitted an application for Cypriot citizenship in 2006 but has not received any response from the authorities for 17 years. The Administrative Court condemned the indifference of the administration and noted that her case had not been examined at all. The judge emphasized that this delay is unacceptable and highlighted the need for timely responses from authorities. The court declared the authorities' inaction as invalid.
