Immigration Office in Limassol, Cyprus: Address, Hours & Appointments (2026)

The immigration office in Limassol is the Limassol District Aliens and Immigration Unit, found at Franklin Roosevelt 223, Zakaki, 3046 Limassol, and open Monday to Friday from 08:00 to 14:30. This guide from DigiCare Insurance covers the address, the opening hours, how appointments work at this police unit, the phone number and email to reach the office, the documents you will be asked for, and the one thing people forget more than any other: a valid health insurance policy.

What Is the Immigration Office in Limassol?

This is the office that handles residence permit applications, renewals and EU registration for anyone living in or moving to the Limassol district. So when someone searches for 'immigration Limassol' or 'Limassol immigration unit,' this police unit is what they mean. Below you will find the address, the hours and the full contact details, along with the documents to bring.

Police Aliens & Immigration Unit vs Migration Department: Which One Do You Need?

The difference matters because the two bodies are run separately. Your application in Limassol goes through the police unit, which then feeds your submission to the central Civil Registry and Migration Department for the residence permit card. So you deal with the local police unit, but the card itself is issued centrally.

One more thing that trips people up: the passport office is not the immigration office. For a city-by-city breakdown of which body to visit, see our guide to immigration offices in other Cyprus cities, and our companion page on the Nicosia immigration office. Dedicated pages for the Paphos and Larnaca offices are on the way.

Address & How to Get There (Franklin Roosevelt 223, Zakaki)

The office sits on Franklin Roosevelt Avenue in the Zakaki area, on the western side of Limassol near the port. The street is a main road, so any taxi driver will know it by name. Older directories sometimes list other police addresses, so the address to trust is Franklin Roosevelt 223, Zakaki.

There is parking around the area, and signage is in Greek and English. Government locations do move from time to time, so it is worth a quick check of the gov.cy listing before you set off, and confirm step-free access in advance if you need it.

Opening Hours: Monday to Friday, 08:00 to 14:30

Even with an appointment, get there a little early. The unit handles a high volume of residence files, and the morning is busier than the afternoon. Aim to arrive before your slot so you are ready when staff call your name.

How Appointments Work: By Phone, Email or In Person

Watch out for older advice. The online appointment portal that used to run at crmd.simplybook.pro was switched off in 2023, so any guide telling you to 'book online' is out of date. There is no live web booking for the Limassol unit, so contact the office directly to arrange your visit.

To book, call 25 805650 during office hours, email the unit, or go in person to set a date. If your case is unusual, explain it when you call so staff can tell you which documents to bring. You can also track a submitted application by text: send STATUS to 1199 and you will get an SMS update on your file.

What to Bring and What the Office Processes

The Limassol office processes these categories of immigration matter:

What the Limassol immigration unit processes:

EU and EEA citizens must register within four months of arriving in Cyprus. Whatever your category, bring a clear set of documents so you do not waste a trip.

Typical documents checklist:

EU citizens registering for the first time need to complete Form MEU1. A residence permit card takes roughly six months to process. When you submit your file, you get an official application receipt. Keep it somewhere safe, as it is what lets you stay in Cyprus legally while you wait.

Health Insurance Before You Visit: A Required Document, Not Optional

Here is the good news: this is one document you can sort out before your appointment. Missing or non-compliant health insurance is one of the most common reasons applicants get sent away to come back later, and sorting it in advance saves you that return trip.

That applies to self-sufficient EU citizens registering with the MEU1 and Yellow Slip through immigration medical insurance, and to third-country nationals applying for MEU1 and Yellow Slip, the Pink Slip or Temporary Residence Permit, or a Category F permit. DigiCare Insurance provides immigration medical insurance built to meet Cyprus residency requirements, and our team can match the policy to your permit type.
