Finding a job 
When looking for work you can visit the district labour offices, which are attached to the Department of Labour of the Ministry of Labour and Social Insurance, in order to register, get information and guidance and even placement in a job. You will need to show your passport or identity card on the first visit. You can register electronically on the website of Department of Labour. 

To register as unemployed in search of work you can visit the District labour offices: 

  • Nicosia +357 22 403000
  • Limassol +357 25 827320
  • Larnaca +357 24 805312

  • East Limassol +357 25814923

Cyprus has many private employment agencies. Some specialise in finding work for people from abroad, and of those some allow registration and the filing of CVs in the relevant website.

You can also contact the Cyprus Human Resource Management Association for information about employment agencies, and also the Cyprus Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KEBE). Newspapers, which you can find by visiting the official website of the Republic of Cyprus, offer another good way of finding work. The Public Employment Service of the Department of Labour has an Internet system of registration for employment and for job searching through the EURES website.

Lastly, making a personal approach to companies which may be on the lookout for personnel with particular specialisations can also be worthwhile.
