Cyprus Work Visa Verification: Avoiding Recruitment Fraud

Cyprus Work Visa Verification: Avoiding Recruitment Fraud

Cyprus draws fewer Bangladeshi workers than larger EU corridors, largely into hospitality, agriculture and services — but that smaller, less-discussed market means fewer people locally who know what genuine paperwork looks like, which fraudulent agents rely on.

Warning signs

  • An employment permit you can't trace to Cyprus's Civil Registry and Migration Department
  • A sponsoring company with no verifiable registration or physical premises
  • A visa approval presented only as a forwarded image, never an original document
  • Reluctance from the agent to let you contact the employer directly

Check it yourself

Cyprus's Civil Registry and Migration Department (CRMD) and the Ministry of Labour and Social Insurance oversee employment-permit issuance. Confirming your permit and employer through these channels, or via the Cypriot high commission or consulate handling your visa, is the clearest way to know whether the process is genuine.

Probashi Visa Checker is an independent fraud-risk assessment service, not a government body, embassy or recruiting agency. We cannot guarantee a visa is genuine — only the issuing government has the final word. What we provide is evidence: automated screening plus a human specialist's official-source lookup and written verdict.
