Cyprus and US Dual Citizenship – What Greek Cypriots in America Need to Know
Expert Legal Guidance by E. CHATZIDIMITRIOU LLC – Online and in Greek
Are you a Greek Cypriot living in the United States and wondering whether you can keep both your American and Cypriot citizenship?
The short answer is yes – Cyprus allows dual citizenship, and you do not have to renounce your U.S. nationality to acquire or confirm your Cypriot one.
At E. CHATZIDIMITRIOU LLC, we provide legal services in Greek, with online consultations, and we assist you step-by-step in securing or confirming dual citizenship in Cyprus and the USA.
H2: Does Cyprus Allow Dual Citizenship?
Yes. According to the Cyprus Citizenship Law (Cap. 111) and amendments under EU regulations:
✅ Cypriot nationals can acquire another citizenship (such as U.S.) without losing their Cypriot nationality
✅ Foreign nationals (like U.S. citizens) can apply for Cypriot citizenship without renouncing their original nationality
✅ Dual nationality is fully recognized and protected by both Cyprus and the United States
