Why You Need Israeli Citizenship While Living in Cyprus

For residents of Cyprus — particularly those from Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia — obtaining Israeli citizenship is not only a legal opportunity, but also a strategic investment in stability, mobility, and long-term security.

Key advantages of Israeli citizenship:

  • Visa-free or simplified access to over 160 countries, including the Schengen Area, the UK, the USA, Canada, and Australia
  • Fast-track issuance of a second passport
  • No exams or Hebrew knowledge required — all procedures are conducted in Russian
  • Legal and social protection in Cyprus, with no urgent need for work visas or residency renewals
  • Convenient direct flights between Cyprus and Israel
  • Access to banking and financial services in Cyprus, Israel, the EU, the USA, and other countries
  • Protection from legal and tax system changes in your country of origin or Cyprus
  • A second homeland for you and your family — with guaranteed rights and support

Who Qualifies for Israeli Citizenship

Under the Israeli Law of Return (1950), the following individuals are eligible for citizenship:

  • Jews by maternal lineage
  • Descendants of Jews up to the third generation (children and grandchildren)
  • Spouses of Jews and their descendants
  • Widows and widowers of Jews who have not remarried
  • Adopted children raised in a Jewish family

Note: Jewish roots through a great-grandfather alone do not provide eligibility for repatriation.

– Birth, marriage, and death certificates
