The Cabinet has approved legislative changes to the process of revoking Cypriot citizenship. The main change involves the removal of provisions that allow citizenship to be granted through investments. Additionally, a 60-day deadline for affected individuals to submit appeals has been introduced. This decision was made following consultations with the European Commission. Since March 2023, 41 citizenship revocation decisions have been made affecting 150 individuals.
