Relinquishment and deprivation
Cypriot citizenship can be relinquished by submitting a declaration of renunciation. Citizenship may be involuntarily removed from naturalised or registered persons who: fraudulently acquired the status, committed an act of disloyalty against the state, aided an enemy nation with which Cyprus is at war, have been sentenced to incarceration for longer than 12 months within five years of acquiring citizenship, or lived overseas (other than those employed in government service) for a continuous period of seven years. After one of these conditions is met, the Council of Ministers must determine that it is not in the national interest for such a person to retain citizenship before it can be stripped.
