Formation of a team to expedite deportation procedures for migrants
March 12, 2026
The Cypriot government is establishing a special team to examine cases of illegal migrants who refuse to leave the country. This team will expedite deportation procedures for individuals whose appeals have been rejected by the courts. It has been found that in many cases, procedures are not followed, leading to legal victories for migrants. The new team will ensure proper adherence to procedures and coordinated action between ministries. The aim is to facilitate faster removals in line with European Union decisions.
